   This shows why biology is so much harder a problem area for LLMs than math, finding RTs is tedious but pretty doable today, they had to scope the problem down a lot from something that would be the equivalent of Navier Stokes in biology. Glad they’re doing it though, even if it’s just marketing.

      Every day now I expect that they or somebody alike will discover in our genes that we (ie life) are lambda terms, combinators or something similar to Universally Programmable Intelligent Matter <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.eecs.utk.edu&#x2F;~bmaclenn&#x2F;UPIM&#x2F;UPIM3.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.eecs.utk.edu&#x2F;~bmaclenn&#x2F;UPIM&#x2F;UPIM3.pdf or chemSKI <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imar.ro&#x2F;~mbuliga&#x2F;talks&#x2F;chemski-with-tokens.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imar.ro&#x2F;~mbuliga&#x2F;talks&#x2F;chemski-with-tokens.html

      All it takes is to identify the syntax, so to say.

         You will probably find this paper by Hessameddin Akhlaghpour very interesting: [An RNA-based theory of natural universal computation](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;34979104&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;34979104&#x2F;).

         And a [YouTube talk by the author](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=984vm12HUF0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=984vm12HUF0).

            Thanks, I noticed it, see also possible relations with RNA in RNA based combinators, so it is indeed relevant. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chorasimilarity.wordpress.com&#x2F;2024&#x2F;03&#x2F;11&#x2F;rna-based-combinators&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chorasimilarity.wordpress.com&#x2F;2024&#x2F;03&#x2F;11&#x2F;rna-based-c...
