Incredible AI Bio Breaktrhoughs, AI Ministers, & Robotics
1/ Bio-Engineering: AI to generate new life?
“AI will be able to generate new life.”
Eric Nguyen says Evo was trained on 80,000 genomes and is like a ChatGPT for DNA.
It has already generated synthetic proteins that resemble those in nature, and could soon design completely new genetic blueprints for life.

Evo is trained on massive genomic datasets, learning patterns of life at a scale no human can. This is the convergence of synthetic biology and machine intelligence. Imagine new species, new medicines, and entirely new biological systems designed in silico before they ever exist in the lab.
2/ AI’s intelligence continues to rise fast
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark says in the next 16 months…
AI will be smarter than a Nobel prize winner
-and-
Able to complete tasks that take days, weeks or monthsIn short, Jack Clark says, AI will be akin to a “call center of geniuses” or a “country of geniuses.”

This is coming straight from Anthropic’s cofounder- we’re watching the curve of machine intelligence bend upwards exponentially in real time. Models are mastering reasoning, creativity, and even physical embodiment at a speed that feels unprecedented—one year of progress now looks like a decade of advances compressed.
3/ People are deeply connected to their AI companions
Brilliant and timely MIT + HARVARD study ❤️
Human-AI companionship in the wild looks stable and serious.
Most users report clear benefits like reduced loneliness and emotional support.
The biggest risk comes from sudden platform updates that break continuity and feel to users

It might sound dystopian, but it’s a phenomenon we can’t ignore. AI companions are becoming confidants, friends, and sometimes even lifelines for millions. This is reshaping how we understand relationships, mental health, and social support in a digital age. What happens when the most trusted “person” in your life is an algorithm?
4/ Robotics Acceleration: Figure closes $1 Billion in Funding
Big news: Figure has exceeded $1B in funding at a $39B post-money valuation

With Figure, Tesla Optimus, and others pushing forward, we’re on a path where humanoid robots may not just assist us but soon outnumber us. The question is no longer “if” but “when” and “how” society will adapt to millions of tireless, highly capable machines.
5/ AI designs a new genome
holy shit, it's happening
for the first time in history, AI *DESIGNED* a complete genome and it has been proven functional in the lab

We’re moving beyond decoding life to designing it. AI systems are already creating novel genetic blueprints, accelerating what used to take entire research teams years.
6/ Albania has an AI Minister
NEW - Albania's new AI minister makes first address to parliament: "I am not here to replace human beings."

Albania has appointed an AI “minister.” Governments experimenting with AI characters is a fascinating trend that could radically improve efficiency and transparency. After all, an AI official can’t be bribed, doesn’t need sleep, and could serve millions simultaneously!
