Yours truly is a proper scientist now!
TL;DR: we used AI to redesign parts of essential cell machinery with only 19 canonical amino acids instead of 20.
Why? Great thread by @harriswangnyc provides more context and details. Let me talk a bit about the AI design part of this. 1/

My AI safety for next week's Enterprise AI summit is turning into a grand tour of 40 years of PL theory: Curry-Howard, liquid types, effect systems, semantic sub-typing, refinement calculus, Horn clauses, ... all converging on one question: how do you prove an AI agent is safe before letting it act?

Immense gratitude to all the giants on whose shoulder this peanut-sized brain is standing.

This Veo3 generated game trailer looks pretty interesting! (Limitations are siginificant though)

Slowly people are starting to understand that it is ridiculous to optimize for human ergonomics instead of creating an AI first programming ecosystem.

There's a lot of speculation about whether OpenAI's video generation model Sora has a 'physics engine' (bolstered by OAI's own claims about 'world simulation'). Like the debate about world models in LLMs, this question is both genuinely interesting and somewhat ill-defined. 🧵1/

@erikbryn @ylecun It’s not productivity. It’’s Treasury running $2T budget deficits p.a. “Fiscal Dominance“.

[Alexey Baskakov @loyso]

@zeuxcg A brave decision! I think that’s the right move for you. Enjoy engineering life!

Classic WoW technical lead developer Brian Birmingham has left Blizzard Entertainment under protest, after refusing to give out an undeservedly low employee evaluation in order to fill competitive stack ranking quotas required by executive leadership.

Сейчас опять проходила по бульвару. Снова много цветов у Леси Украинки. А людей нет - ведь машина полицейская по-прежнему рядом с памятником.
Вдруг, вижу, несётся бегун с букетом роз. Моментально кладёт букет у подножья и исчезает.
Так, наверное, и выглядит сегодня дух свободы.

An organization that hires people to do something stupid will tend to continue to do it, because the people they've hired will lobby for it in order to keep their jobs.
