Brief

The post by @daniel_mac8 (2026-05-12) questions why Isomorphic Labs has only 45k followers given its stated ambition to cure all disease. It cites Demis Hassabis’ tweet framing AI’s top use as improving human health, linking AlphaFold to Isomorphic’s drug‑discovery mission and a $2.1B funding boost, arguing the effort deserves far wider public attention.

Why it matters

@daniel_mac8 points out that @IsomorphicLabs has only 45,000 followers and argues that’s surprising because the company is “trying to cure all disease,” a goal he says would benefit everyone alive and future generations (posted 2026-05-12 15:19:22+00:00).

Key details

Demis Hassabis tweeted that AI’s No.1 application is improving human health, tracing the work from AlphaFold to Isomorphic Labs’ mission to reimagine drug discovery and “one day solve all disease,” and announced $2.1 billion in new funding (linked video).

Source evidence

Why does @IsomorphicLabs only have 45k followers?

They are trying to cure all disease.

This is the type of AI related effort the entire world deserves to know about.

It will, in fact, benefit everyone alive and everyone who will be alive in the future if they succeed.

Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis)

I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health.

That work started with AlphaFold, and now at @IsomorphicLabs with the mission to reimagine drug discovery and one day solve all disease!

We are turbocharging that goal with $2.1B in new funding.
