That's a fair point! I think I've found a few more things, but reading through / verifying first. Will update accordingly and leave notes. Thanks for helping! edit - I updated to d…

Apologies was editing the comment, but I looked into it more and it wasn't a preprint. They published it. Multiple times. "Genome modelling and design across all domains of life wi…

I have been diving into / reading up this area lately. A few quick notes. Worth specifying that these were hand selected candidates. Out of these human selected ones, 5% were succe…

Looking at this thread, I can see that a lot of technical people have ambivalent to negative feelings towards AI, but with each new generation, I become more and more convinced tha…

I mean, yes. Why? Why would nature encode such a ridiculously disproportionate / inefficient behavior when it leads to catastrophe so frequently? I've tried to ask these machines d…

I think the source of this misapprehension is that, You are comparing wet work in a lab to writing code on a computer. When you screw up an exploit, you fail to execute the exploit…
