What happens when AI can write the genetic code for life itself?
Eric Nguyen (@exnx) is the co-founder of
@RadicalNumerics, the lab behind the models that generated the first genome ever created entirely by AI, a bacteriophage that had never existed in nature until it wrote one. He believes DNA should be treated the way language is treated: something a model can read, then write.
With more DNA sitting in public databases than there is text on the entire internet, he sees an almost unmined field, one where the models built to make sense of it remain, by his own admission, no more sophisticated than linear regression.
Thank you to the partners who make this possible

I sat down with
@mariogabriele
on the Generalist podcast to talk about why DNA is the most complicated and important language ever,
how we trained the largest genome language model to master it,
and yet, we’ve only scratched the surface of what it can do and understand.

Your history of connectomics list forgot the first actual brain connectome, the whole fruit fly brain! We should make a website with all the known connectomics datasets to date, from all sources!

near Santa Cruz surfing museum - Tu Aug 4, 2026 - Mike Graves, former philosophy professor at UC Berkeley, and then did stints at Apple, and Intuit too ~ Also, in terms of aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drug therapies, the ER-100 partial epigenetic reprogramming Yamanaka factors' OSK gene drug therapy for Glaucoma wide- or open-angle and one other Glaucoma condition is the first drug going through clinical trials ... https://share.google/aimode/BTFf7uWWpMxKkPKfG
Michael,
Great to meet and talk with you near the Santa Cruz surfing museum this morning.
Interesting to learn that you were a philosophy professor at UC Berkeley, and then did stints at Apple, and Intuit too. (Non-profit 501 c 3 World Univ & Sch is seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency -
https://minepi.com/sgkmac - with which WUaS has partnering emails, distribute Pi to most of all these people and potentially to end poverty as well as facilitate free universal education, wiki-wise too; and Non-profit World Univ & Sch WUaS is in Intuit Quickbooks through TechSoup SF but hasn't heard back from them a number of times re WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet with Intuit Quickbooks).
Also, in terms of aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drug therapies, the ER-100 partial epigenetic reprogramming Yamanaka factors' OSK gene drug therapy for Glaucoma wide- or open-angle and one other Glaucoma condition is the first drug going through clinical trials ...
https://share.google/aimode/BTFf7uWWpMxKkPKfG ... and could lead to many families of related drug therapies, thus informing aging reversal e.g. to a 25 year old in a150 year old body ... George Church estimates that the first such aging reversal drug therapies will be FDA approved by 2050 ...
Here's the open M 8/3/26 WUaS Weekly Business Meeting (loosely conducted in the manner of Friends NrFs Quakers) from yesterday (and at the end I walk to West Cliff and show the surfers there)
Great to meet you! Do you know Peter Norvig from UC Berkeley from after the Flintstones' Age (which aired on ABC from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966), where we're now in the information age (per an upcoming book I'm writing "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" about the I.T. age ... and with a 2nd physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project in the works too ... potentially co-created with Peter Norvig and see -
https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306).
Have you visited Harbin hot springs much if at all? :)
More later, best regards, great to meet and talk with you near the near Santa Cruz surfing museum,
Scott

Hot Springs ~
& Did you ever take Yoga while at Chico, Robert, and regarding 8 limbs of Yoga?
Seeking to write a 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project, physical-digital this time - and in building out a #RealisticVirtualHarbin from here and for soaking from home, and as academic field site -
hi Robert, Donny Mackin (Wave Daddy), Alexander Long at Pluralis, all Stinson beach-centric (in Marin), f/Friends, Yogis' Elliott (in Berzerkeley), and Tom (Hess, in Chico, and who teaches Yoga there in the Yoga Center of Chico), All,
Check out Travertine Hot Springs and Buckeye Hot Springs if you're interested in free natural hot springs, both east of the Sierras, over the incredibly beautiful Sonora pass for one, and there are many others just south of there to explore if you're interested - especially if you're an individual explorer. (Harbin Hot Springs Heart Consciousness -
https://harbin.org/ - has gotten expensive too to my way of thinking- around $65 mid-week for 24 hours car camping with no reservation ... but can be very interesting counter-culturally too. )
Also you can find my
"Naked Harbin ethnography : hippies, warm pools, counterculture, clothing-optionality and Virtual Harbin" (2016 Academic Press at World Univ & Sch) in the SF Public Library on the top floor in special collections (but probably would have to read it there), and in the UC Berkeley Anthropology library ...
eg for free, if interested. My 4 other books of much Harbin-inspired poetry aren't in many libraries that I know of, but having harvested my blog for them, you can find most of the Harbin poetry too here -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/poetry - and for free.
In growing a WUaS worldwide abolition movement, and in coding for all 7.9 billion people on the planet to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft, military targeting industries internationally, and their latent networks of violence, have had one gunshot to my vehicle in May and five related tesla-companies' death threats sadly, and have caught inklings of organized crime in and around Stinson beach even ... so I think it unwise to come to Stinson beach whatsoever very much in the next while, and the Steep Ravine Hot Springs seem best to visit on a full moon low tide, with the next full moon being on August 28, and then toward the end of the autumn months.
Having sought US federal protection for my mother, my brother and family and myself, I suspect there's a US federal presence developing in the Stinson beach area, with that park having gone back and forth between US federal and state of California management too.

Aboltionally, staying alive, Friendly NtF Quaker and Unitarian Universalist greetings, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), best wishes, Namaste,
Scott
PS
I explore further growing this WUaS abolition movement here in the open M 8/3/26 WUaS Weekly Business Meeting again further -
