Everyone asks if Atlas can bring them a drink, but this robot can bring you the whole fridge. Using AI-driven behaviors, Atlas is doing hard work and coordinating its whole body to manage heavy objects, balancing complex contact points with accuracy and reliability.

Saddened to hear of the passing of J. Craig Venter, a legitimate pioneer and scientific maverick.

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

"This is the first synthetic species,” microbiologist J. Craig Venter told 60 Minutes’ Steve Kroft in 2010. His team of scientists created a synthetic bacteria designed on a computer, with man-made DNA. Venter says that from concept to completion, it took 15 years and $40 million to make.

Venter, who died this week at 79, was one of the most famous scientists in the world, known for his pioneering work in deciphering the human genetic code.

@MitoPsychoBio Just because medicine (a slow moving monolith of a social structure) hasn’t caught up doesn’t mean it isn’t useful or isn’t beneficial for healthcare.

We worked with @Ginkgo to connect GPT-5 to an autonomous lab, so it could propose experiments, run them at scale, learn from the results, and decide what to try next. That closed loop brought protein production cost down by 40%.

@farmacotips Not the prize but the discovery that matters. Amazing stuff here

Spanish oncologist Mariano Barbacid's team achieved complete elimination of KRAS-mutated pancreatic tumors in mice using a low-toxicity trio of drugs (gemcitabine, ATRA, and neratinib), as detailed in a January 27, 2026, PNAS study.

@mchwllms5 @snarkademic There are strong incentives to become and/or remain an expert in a domain. One way to game that system is through “expedition”, sure.

@SalaryDr @Brandon1318693 The bottleneck for physician labor supply is both what keeps wages high and increases workload. Both are due to inefficiencies in the labor market for physicians.

Huh. Looks like Plato was right.

A new paper shows all language models converge on the same "universal geometry" of meaning. Researchers can translate between ANY model's embeddings without seeing the original text.

Implications for philosophy and vector databases alike.
