“The paper shows that the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process can be transformed exactly into a stochastic process defined self-consistently in the comoving frame.”

“Knowledge isn't a thing you can copy and paste. It's more like a living organism that needs the right environment, the right people, and constant exercise to survive.”

“Challenges basic assumptions physicists have held for centuries”

“Michael Levin is a biologist at Tufts University working on novel ways to understand and control complex pattern formation in biological systems.”

“ForamDeepSlice is a deep learning framework for foraminifera species classification.”

“Blaise argues that there is more to evolution than random mutations (like most people think). The secret to increasing complexity is *merging* i.e. when different organisms or systems come together and combine their histories and capabilities.”

“Professor Friston explains it as a fundamental rule for survival: all living things, from a single cell to a human being, are constantly trying to make sense of the world and reduce unpredictability.”

“In PLAID, we develop a method that learns to sample from the latent space of protein folding models to generate new proteins.”

“The episode covers topics like biomass versus anthropomass, computational templates, biological hero organisms, engineering with bacteria, and plant communication.”

“Michael Levin's research focuses on understanding the biophysical mechanisms of pattern regulation and harnessing endogenous bioelectric dynamics for rational control of growth and form.”

“We’re introducing OpenAI Microscope, a collection of visualizations of every significant layer and neuron of eight vision “model organisms” which are often studied in interpretability. Microscope makes it easier to analyze the features that form inside these neural networks, and we hope it will help the research community as we move towards understanding these complicated systems.”

“Michael explains how our DNA doesn’t control everything and how the behavior of cells in living organisms can be modified and adapted.”
