Is biology responsible for AI art (slop¿)? You can read my new post and decide for yourself. This piece takes you on a journey. It begins with electrodes in cat brains, somewhere in between we go from recognizing cats to detecting cancers, taking street mapping architecture and applying it to cell segmentation, then magically ends with machines generating images from text prompts. You might find that the boundaries between fields are more porous than we think. You might even go further and adopt this perspective as an innovation strategy.

New post out 🧬 On biology as the original technology Challenging how we use machine metaphors to condense and domesticate biological complexity, creating an illusion of control. Only to reverse course and explain this new complexity of machines growing less controllable, AI’s resisting full comprehension, through the very biological frameworks we keep trying to transcend. Come evolve new metaphors with me.

lol why does Dan always talks to us like a toxic ex who preemptively threatens to break up with you after they’ve done something that might cause some friction Maybe it’s not the intention, if I give benefit of the doubt, but this reads like: “if you don’t like it, then gtfo” Is there a comms person at merkle? I feel like this abrasive style of communicating could be avoided. Maybe that’s just me 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m halfway through the @protocollabs d/acc residency Feels special to be here at @edgecity Patagonia building biosecurity infrastructure at what feels like the edge of the world mountain air, trail dust, icy blue lakes, wild horse encounters & an evolving MVP

So interesting to meet someone with huge online charisma and not in person charisma I find digital charisma super interesting in our hyper online world What would you rather have?

Why do ya’ll need that much protein? How did we get to this point? Who is responsible for this…

Me: sees someone a lot on my feed that I don’t really want to see *unfollows them* *Sees them on my feed even more**😅 (!!)

Where I’m posting from:

Arc Institute has been cooking lately… I’m just catching up on the preprint of the 1st functional AI generated viral genome And they come out with a new DNA editing technology in Science https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.12.675911v1 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adz0276

Ava the AI is coming for your jobs

Spent the weekend with one of my best and longest friends… And we have zero photo evidence of us together… Why does this always happen 🥲

Did you know surrogacy is a 5 billion dollar industry in the US? This explains the agency ads I’ve been getting offering to pay 250K for a surrogate of a certain education level, weight and height… 🫠 To avoid the ethical shitstorm this can evoke places like the UK have outlawed paying for surrogacy. It can only be an unpaid, almost charitable action. There are arguments for both approaches. Then you get to thinking about futures of artificial wombs. This article evoked some thoughts: https://www.wired.com/story/the-baby-died-whose-fault-is-it-surrogate-pregnancy/?utm_brand=wired&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=aud-dev
