No, it's really about material science and biology, just read further in the ad:

Responsibilities

• Follow the latest progress in computational science such as material and biology.

• Solve real-world problems in material and biology, with computational approaches such as molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, and machine learning.

• Optimize and speed up classical molecular dynamics and quantum chemistry algorithms with artificial intelligence and high-throughput computational methods.

That will be cool if their really looking to expand into something useful like biochemistry r&d, similar to Google with deepmind.

TikTok brain implant?

I don’t think manufacturing of computing parts (in this case, a brain implant) is the future.

My money is on bio-engineering “experience” into human memory.

It’s the least materially wasteful as the materials are in the process, not outputs. The outputs are not stuff but modified organic matter state.

I am pretty sure they are exploring AlphaFold, potential growth opportunity. ByteDance has been exploring games, education, online office suites and many more.

They are going after the hundred billion dollar pet industry, focusing on electronics for pets. With a TikTok flip-flop, give a dog a phone.

Watch your posts on a dog-themed clone.

and we thought spam calls were bad, now instead of extended warrantys and political surveys, my dog is going to be calling and texting me every 10 minutes asking for treats and belly rubs

or just to say "hey", like the old far side comic with a canine decoder

Haha that’s a good one thanks for the link!

Just pulled “Hound of the Far Side” off a shelf last night after not looking at a Larson comic in a long time - reminds me of the one where a car of cows are driving by a field of humans yelling “yakkity yak yak” out the window
