#2I've seen many of Michael's lectures and now I'm at the point of just waiting for something new from him. I'm super excited about his research but it would be nice to know if a new lecture has new material and discoveries in it without having to watch the whole thing.

#3Levin is undoubtedly doing some of the most important work in all of science, in my opinion.
Just as an teaser, one conceivable result of this work could be to unlock the secrets of regeneration! Imagine being able to regrow limbs and organs...

I had the same thought. A great sci fi book that explores regeneration as an element is Pandoras Star (and it’s sequel) by Peter F Hamilton.

#7I think he's handwaving too much stuff [0] but the experiments and path he (and the few in this niche) is pursuing .. seem to be opening a big crack in the biology map.
It's also ethically and existentially challenging because some of his results are frankly too wild, unless you planned to grow your own siamese head.
There's also a trend I'm sensing, that computing is more and more about tissue configuration (even outside biology).
In any case, considering the effect of better understanding of regeneration and cell homeostatis, I wish him and his team all the best.
[0] the API metaphor and fractal intelligence seems like magic terminology but I could never find any interview where he gave more details.

#8He almost seems to be describing something 'declarative' - i.e. saying where things should endup/be arranged rather than the process of how to get to it.

#921 minutes into this video and this is already one of the most interesting things I've watched in a very long time. Thanks for sharing.
