Dario Amodei just talked about today's announcement of Claude discovering a new gene-editing mechanism at the UN Security Council. “Anthropic announced the Claude discovery of a new molecular machine. It's a preliminary finding, but it may constitute a new gene editing mechanism that could have applications in gene therapy. Claude led the literature review, theorizing, and experimental design, and humans ran and verified the experiments in the lab.” ---- From "DRM News" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

Wild stuff. Anthropic’s new wet lab got its first win after 949 Claude agents autonomously tracked down a new enzyme system in just 21 hours. Claude was searching a huge amount of genetic data when it noticed an unusual pattern: the same small piece of DNA repeating again and again next to an enzyme. The campaign searched 1.94B protein clusters, recovered 198,290 RT clusters, and used 215.6M tokens across 21.5 hours. That pattern looked a little like CRISPR, so Anthropic’s scientists investigated it and found a new family of biological systems they call ART. The system also produces many small RNA molecules, suggesting those repeated DNA sections are doing something useful rather than sitting there randomly.

interactive media will be huge in the next year or two! this is incredible

Sam Altman warns of recursive self-improvement of AI at the UN Security Council "That concern becomes especially important as we approach systems that can improve themselves and future versions of themselves, often called recursive self-improvement. As the process of building AI becomes more automated, the pace of AI progress could accelerate rapidly. This moment calls for extreme care." ---- From "DRM News" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

Sam Altman says humans could lose control of the future to AI at UN Security Council. and that OpenAI has deliberately slowed AI development before and will do it again "we could lose control of the future to AI. The risk is that it moves so fast that people can no longer follow what's happening or intervene when needed. We have unilaterally slowed down in the past. We will do so in the future." ---- From "DRM News" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)
