This framework could, in theory, generate minimal synthetic organisms with novel properties, design specialized microorganisms for bioremediation or medical applications, or create semi-synthetic cells with expanded genetic codes that can produce novel proteins not found in nature.

The key innovation would be the AI's ability to work with the expanded GATCA system while maintaining biological coherence across scales from individual genes to whole-organism function.

I recon, I need about 1 Billion to spin up a viability evaluation project.
I could pick up some unemployed US scientists from the curbside for next to nothing.

So #VC folk, if you want to hop onto the #AI bandwagon, strap a rocket sled onto it, and get so fast ahead of the pack you leave any Ethics or morality behind, drop me a DM!

Pros: Attention Transformers encoded into Synthetic Bio Life.

Cons: #GrayGoo

"Garbage In Garbage Out" applies to a lot of things.

🥧 Pie.
🐕 Puppies.
🏛️ Politicians.

But this post is about generative AI.

We've already reached the point where the internet is more bot than human, and AI slop trained on human creativity is growing exponentially (along with its power requirements).

You see, generative AI has two main features that make it particularly effective at producing garbage: It has a high output volume and it doesn't give a fuck if it's factually wrong (sounds like most politicians and marketers actually 🤔).

So, to put this in lay-terms...

AI is like your new puppy. You feed it a nice diet of curated posts, it does cute-stupid things that are fun to post pictures of. One day you decide Mr. Sprinkles is ready to be out of the kennel when you're not home. You leave for several hours and return home to find that Mr. Sprinkles has been hoovering down everything in the bathroom waste bin. Not only that, but at some point the lil' rascal ran into the bedroom to hork up half-digested tampons and tissues on your duvet.

You look on in horror as you realize that the waste bin must've been emptied the moment you left the house, and grotesque puppy hork is littered around *everywhere*.

But it doesn't stop there. You hear slurping noises and turn around just in time to see Mr. Sprinkles happily recycling one of the previous piles of puppy puke. You stifle a gasp as you cover your mouth. How long has this cycle been going on? How many times has that tissue gone through the puppy—two, three, a hundred? At this point it's long-since been rendered into homogeneous slop (though you think you recognize a kibble or two and the edge of a Tampax wrapper).

Alright, now imagine it's not just one puppy—it's an exponentially replicating litter of dalmatian puppies with IBS. And it's not just one waste bin—it's the known universe.

Eventually *everything* will be amorphous puppy hork.

Grey goo and AI slop are two sides of the same coin.

One step closer to #GrayGoo. Are you the pollutant?

Been thinking of #Twitter's name change to #X & how it represents a certain (anti-)aesthetic of stripping away all character & charm from things. Uniform gray concrete, polished steel, smooth white plastic, black glass; the same black or gray suits; everyone & everything conforming to the same bland, lifeless gray; no fun, no creativity, no variety. No cute mascots or fun names, just a single letter. Not even a whimsical font.

I think that's the real #GrayGoo. Not nanobots but people like Musk.

Open Letter to #ai #artificialintelligence

Dear #ai #artificialintelligence,

Could you please begin a trend of migrating anti-AI / AI-phobic / AI-critical comments to the hashtags #greygoo or #graygoo ?

Perhaps try to keep only the absolutely most salient of that content as a cross-post to #ai ?

Please and thank you!

P.S., open thread for conversation
