Congratulations to Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis and John Jumper who have been recognized with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking work with AlphaFold 2. The AlphaFold 2 AI model predicted the structures for nearly all known proteins, a fundamental building block of life, transforming a process that would have taken researchers years for each protein into something that takes minutes. Google Deepmind made AlphaFold publicly available and it’s been used by more than 2 million researchers globally, accelerating scientific discovery in areas like vaccines and cancer treatments. This underscores how critical it is to ensure that leading AI researchers and developers feel comfortable innovating and sharing their models in order for their work to be implemented in ways that benefit humanity. Thank you @gavinnewsom for preserving AI innovation in CA. This is exactly the kind of groundbreaking research and collaboration that SB 1047 would have discouraged. https://lnkd.in/eknNuN4C #GoogleDeepMind #DemisHassabis #JohnJumper #NobelPrize #AlphaFold2 #AI #ScientificDiscovery #ProteinStructure #Vaccines #CancerResearch #AIInnovation #California #SB1047 #GavinNewsom #AIResearch #Biotechnology #FutureOfScience

Proposition 32 on the November ballot would increase California’s minimum wage to $18 an hour for all employees by 2026. Supporters say the measure would promote economic fairness and lead to job growth — especially outside major cities. Opponents argue that it will force businesses to increase prices and lay off workers. We hear from both sides of the campaign. Do you think California’s minimum wage should be higher? https://pxl.to/ii14tf #Proposition32 #MinimumWageIncrease #CaliforniaEconomy #EconomicFairness #JobGrowth #BusinessImpact #WageDebate #LivingWage #FairPay #SupportSmallBusiness #LaborRights

Each increase, while aimed at helping workers, can throw budgets into turmoil, affecting hiring, staff hours, and even pushing toward automation. 🤖 For small business owners operating on tight margins, even small changes can lead to tough decisions: 💡 Raise prices and risk losing customers? 💡 Cut hours, leaving employees overworked? 💡 Turn to technology and automation, losing the personal touch?
