support the growing demand for neural network accelerators. It aims to
build enough assembly lines to ensure there is enough supply of AI
processors to meet demand. Altman has previously expressed concerns
that there aren't enough processors to go around.

ALPHAFOLD FOUND THOUSANDS OF POSSIBLE PSYCHEDELICS. WILL ITS
PREDICTIONS HELP DRUG DISCOVERY? (5 MINUTE READ) [9]

Researchers have used AlphaFold, a protein-structure-prediction tool,
to identify hundreds of thousands of potential new psychedelics. The predictions show that AlphaFold can be used for fast drug discovery, a
process that can take years using conventional methods. While some
scientists are skeptical of the potential of the technology to change
the field of drug discovery, there is evidence that the tool has
strong potential to help scientists find new drugs. Isomorphic Labs,
DeepMind's drug-discovery spin-off, recently announced deals worth up
to $2.9 billion to hunt for drugs using machine-learning tools such as AlphaFold.

THE VISION PRO'S FIRST KILLER APP IS THE WEB, WHETHER APPLE LIKES
IT OR NOT (7 MINUTE READ) [13]

It's increasingly clear that the early success of the Vision Pro will
depend on Safari. The open web is Apple's best chance at making its
headset a winner - developers aren't exactly jumping to build new apps
for Apple's new platform so far. This could be a big win for the
future of the internet as developers will spend more time on web apps.
Apple recently added more features to Safari and there are
platform-specific features for Safari on visionOS. Apple may have to
let go of some of its App Store control to help the Vision Pro get off
to a good start.
