“You've got billions of base pairs to play with in terms of encoding all your logic. So I think that's ultimately how delivery will get solved.”
02 / belief
“I think that's correct. I think the stat is something like drugs are roughly 7% of healthcare spend.”
03 / belief
“Then we also have something more like value judgments. I believe that that transcriptome looks like a younger cell.”
04 / belief
“I think we have similar optimization challenges with our genome as the parameters and evolution as the optimization algorithm.”
05 / belief
“I think that's a pretty good signal that actually there's a lot of gradient to climb here and that potentially for us, the end-state products we're developing in 2100 are more like synthetic genes that have never existed, rather than just compositions of the natural set.”
06 / belief
“If we think about the genome as a set of parameters and the optimizer is natural selection, then you've got some constraints on how that actually works.”
07 / belief
“We don't actually use RL at the moment, so I don't want to overstate the level of sophistication we've got. But I think the general problem reduces down in a similar way.”
08 / belief
“We also know that with very targeted edits, other groups have done this, folks like Luke Gilbert now at the Arc Institute, who I think of as one of the great unsung scientists of our time, have been able to make a targeted edit in a single locus and then show that you can actually make cells divide 400-plus times over multiple years in an incubator in the lab.”
