Luckily there's also OpenFold as an open-source alternative for protein folding (maybe also nucleic acids? I dunno)

There are numerous models available nowadays, even alphafold still is but Google took itself out of the game by letting it die due to lack of further development, focusing on its "be evil" company philosophy.

I'm convinced "Don't be evil" was a canary.

It certainly was, and it didn't take long for the canaries to start dying, which immediately alerted everyone that there was a possible canary-murderer on the loose within the organization, which they solved by following the canary-murderer's instructions to pursue profit at any cost and using a tiny sliver of the budget for regularly buying more canaries.

You are incorrect. see above.

Doesn't work for mid-large proteins. AlphaFold now models using >50 post translational modifications and full size proteins.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
