A technological breakthrough, any way you look at it, but Burkina Faso just manufactured its own soap. Baby steps, brothers and sisters. :francis:

At least there's a country in Africa producing its own goods and not importing it from abroad. Yeah, baby steps.

Took China 40 years to get where it is. And they had the luxury of no foreign powers interfering domestically.

And the benefit of being one nation, united under one major ethnic group. Had China been in Africa, it would’ve been split up between 50 different countries and thousands of fake made up groups meant to keep the people divided under artificial ethnic conflicts.

It is interesting since China has at least 3 ethnic groups not counting Tibet, Mongolia, and I think Uyghurs.

The countries are the made up groups, aren't they? What made up groups are you referring to?

That is why I said majority ethnic group. The situation in China could barely be compared to the complexities of a singular African country.

Hutu and Tutsi, for example, 1+ million dead.

And yes, most of the groups are made up relics colonialism.

Or is colonialism not actually a concept? Do you believe the practices of colonialism and imperialism occurred?

I'm asking what do you mean when you say "groups"? You mean countries? Ethnicities? Something else?

I clearly made the differentiation here. Perhaps your “questioning” needs questioning. Have you tried asking yourself why it’s so difficult for you to understand?

The breakthroughs are crazy. NVIDIA and Arc Institute cracked the genome.



They’re going to be able to create X-Men or maybe even inject traits right into people. Turn some ordinary person into a super genius for example.


this is partly why i believe future humans will be able to live on uninhabitable planets, gene therapy and manipulating the environment. we'll just adapt.

This AI can write genomes from scratch.

The Arc Institute with NVIDIA just published Evo-2, the largest AI model for biology, trained on 9.3 trillion DNA base pairs spanning the entire tree of life.

This AI doesn’t just analyze genomes. it creates them.

Evo 2 is FULLY OPEN, including model parameters, training code, inference code, and
the OpenGenome2 dataset LMFAO

think of it as a DNA-focused LLM. instead of text, it generates genomic sequences. it reads and interprets complex DNA, including noncoding regions usually considered jink, generates entire chromosomes and new genomes, and predicts disease-causing mutations, even those not understood

@IterIntellectus
this is biology hacking
AI is moving beyond describing biology to designing it. this allows for synthetic life engineered from scratch, programmable genomes optimized by AI, potential new gene therapies, and lays the groundwork for whole-cell simulation.
biology is becoming a computational discipline

@IterIntellectus
it was trained on a dataset of 9.3 trillion base pairs from bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes, and bacteriophages
it processes up to 1 million base pairs in a single context window, covering entire chromosomes. it identifies evolutionary patterns previously unseen by humans

Evo-2 has demonstrated practical generation abilities, creating synthetic yeast chromosomes, mitochondrial genomes, and minimal bacterial genomes.
this is computational design in action.

@IterIntellectus
Evo-2 understands noncoding DNA, which regulates gene expression and is involved in many genetic diseases.
it predicts the functional impact of mutations in these regions, achieving state-of-the-art performance on noncoding variant pathogenicity and BRCA1 variant classification.
this could lead to advances in precision medicine

7/

@IterIntellectus
Evo-2 uses stripedhyena 2, combining convolution and attention mechanisms, not transformers.
it models DNA at multiple scales, capturing long-range interactions, and autonomously learns features like exon-intron boundaries and transcription factor binding sites without human guidance.
it’s not just memorizing
it’s understanding biology.

Evo-2 predicts whether mutations are harmful or benign without specific training on human disease data.

WHAT

it outperforms specialized models on BRCA1 variants and handles noncoding mutations effectively, suggesting it has learned DNA’s fundamental principles

@IterIntellectus
Evo-2 generates DNA sequences that influence chromatin accessibility, controlling gene expression.

it has embedded simple Morse code into epigenomic designs as a proof of concept, not a practical application. this shows potential for designing programmable gene circuits.

make me blonde. thank you

11/34
@IterIntellectus
Evo-2 is FULLY OPEN SOURCE, including model parameters, training data, and code.
this will lead to massive widespread innovation in bioengineering, lowering barriers to genome design.
it’s a revolution moment for the field.

the era of biotech is here

The Arc Institute aims to model entire cells, moving beyond DNA to whole organisms.

this could lead to AI creating new life forms and synthetic biology becoming AI-driven.

the future involves programming life at increasing scales

three years ago, AI focused on chatbots.
now it generates genomes. soon, it will design complex biological systems. this is a new phase
humans are no longer just studying biology but rewriting its code.

if it's possible to use AI to create every possible genome in the latent space of genes, there is a case that humans could have been discovered galaxies away.

[Quoted tweet]
MIT professor and CRISPr gene drive inventor is sounding the alarm:

A 90% lethal virus that infects 50% of humans in 100 days is now possible.

Vaccines will be far too slow.

Extinction cult Aum Shinrikyo went to Africa to produce purified ebola, but, lucky for us, they failed:

Kevin Esvelt: “They bought a uranium mine, they started developing chemical weapons, they started looking for biological weapons. And while there weren’t very many that they had access to at the time, they were able to produce botulinum toxin and they tried to make enough anthrax.

The leader of their bioweapons programme, when they went to Africa, he was hoping that they would find someone who was infected with Ebola so that he could purify the virus and spread it around, so that it would hopefully transmit and kill as many people as possible.”

Omicron infected 50% of Europe in 100 days - vaccines will be much too slow: “Now, imagine something that was released across multiple airports to start with, and you can see how the moonshot vaccine initiatives that hope to get a new vaccine working and approved in 100 days are still going to be much too slow."

90% lethality is possible: “Rabbit calicivirus — it’s more than 90% lethal in adult rabbits. If nature can do that in an animal, that means it’s possible.”

It could spread far faster than natural pandemics because we have air travel.

A new RAND report said: “Previous attempts to weaponise biological agents, such as an attempt by the Japanese Aum Shinrikyo cult to use botulinum toxin in the 1990s, had failed because of a lack of understanding of the bacterium. AI could “swiftly bridge such knowledge gaps”

Bioweapons experts think we might be 1-3 years away from AI-assisted large-scale biological attacks that bring society to its knees.

Open source AI means irreversible proliferation to the Aum Shinrikyos of the world. We’re giving them weapons we can never take back.

I’m not normally a doomer but this one gives me pause.

An open source version of this means it’s possible to tell it to mix anthrax with Covid. Or worse. CRiSPeR can print any sequence.

Genuinely not overstating how important and transformative it is. You can synthesize organisms that breakdown plastics, and bio-synthetically generate key products and reagents (e.g., Ginkgo on steroids) and maybe even can help terraform planets!!!

It's not clear. The fact that this is the 3rd post asking this and you have given a straight answer, proves that.







But yeah, bringing animals back from extinction and their original environments are gone is not a smart thing to do. Last things we need are cross-breeding and a new ecological problem.

Consistent steps, you big c00n.

Manufacturing essentials is an important step towards independence.

What this company is doing is why Western civilisation is falling apart at the seams. They haven't brought back the dire wolf. What they did was alter genomes to give a wolf the characteristics of a dire wolf. Then they do what is common practice, market the shyt out of things to make it sexy for investors, knowing full well that they'll never provide anything of substance.

This is why China is no ones friend, and the gullible world likes to think they are.. :why:

The Chinese are running around building shyt in foreign nations those locals should be doing themselves, because by doing that China is killing their growth and self suffiency when China itself was allowed to develop at its own pace.
