Coronavirus cure crowdsourcing?
4 points by levleontiev 5 years ago | 6 commentsI have a silly question to discuss:
is there any chance that a Coronavirus vaccine can be found by brute force?
The world already has a pretty good infrastructure (Seti@Home) for that, and media all over the world already informed everyone about the threat. Participation in saving the world from the plague could be a very good motivation to join distributed calculations.
Or it makes no sense at all to try the brute force?
- bch132 5 years agoOh damn, I thought the question was whether the coronavirus could cure crowdsourcing...
- levleontiev 5 years agoSomehow yes, btw. Success will be a great success story of crowdsourcing.
