  • Frankenbots: Pioneering the Future of Living Machines

    “Walk this way” – Igor Introduction In the dynamic realm of bioengineering, a revolutionary breakthrough has emerged: Frankenbots. These self-constructing, fully cellular biobots, derived from adult human tracheal epithelial cells, offer a transformative vision for regenerative medicine and synthetic biology. Unlike conventional robots crafted from mechanical components, Frankenbots are living entities formed from human cells…

  • Q&A Essay: Mitochondria, Evolution, and Lessons for AI Development

    This essay summarizes a conversation about mitochondria, their role in evolution, and how their gene expression compares to nuclear gene expression, explained in plain English. It also explores how these biological insights can inform AI development, drawing parallels between natural systems and artificial intelligence design. Q1: Is there a website that shows 2D cellular automata…

  • hrm – in plain english

    The paper introduces a new AI model called the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM), designed to tackle complex reasoning tasks more effectively than current large language models (LLMs) like those using Chain-of-Thought (CoT) methods. Here’s a plain English explanation of the key points: What is the Problem? Current AI models, like Transformers used in many LLMs,…

  • HRM explained

    The Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM) described in the paper does not explicitly state that it avoids tokens entirely; rather, it operates without relying on Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting or token-level language externalization for reasoning, which is common in traditional large language models (LLMs). Instead, HRM employs a brain-inspired, hierarchical, and multi-timescale recurrent architecture to perform complex…

  • Entropy and God

    Wise minds met to talk and spar,On chaos, God, and what we are.They called entropy the devil’s hand,God the force that makes things stand. Part 1Paul Davies spoke of science’s view,How entropy makes order undo.Stars burn out, and worlds grow cold,A lifeless end, the tale foretold.Yet life fights back with cells and light,Building patterns in…

  • Expanding the Spectrum of Connection: A Journey to Communicate Beyond Human Perception

    Introduction: The Limits of Our Senses What if the world around us is teeming with life we cannot see, hear, or touch? What if intelligent beings—whether trees whispering through chemical signals or entities in unseen dimensions—coexist with us, waiting for us to learn their language? Our senses, honed by evolution for survival, reveal only a…
