I’m buzzing with excitement about the impact of #AI on #biology. @Microsoft and @OpenAI are about to roll out the Stargate system in parts, and honestly, it feels like we’re at the cusp of a whole new era in AI and computational power. This isn’t just another step forward; it’s going to be a giant leap for AI and for folks in the synthetic biology community to use these tools. Stargate will be able to chew through petabytes of genomic data as if it’s nothing, revealing secrets of biology we’ve never seen before. Imagine uncovering new disease markers or gaining insights into complex ecosystems at breakneck speed. AI is going to be like giving us the ultimate detective toolkit for biology. With the power of Stargate, designing proteins could become as routine as sketching on a napkin. Think about engineering enzymes for cleaner manufacturing, or custom-building proteins that can tackle pollution. With gene editing, we could see a monumental shift in how quickly and accurately we can edit genes. We could tailor crops to withstand harsh climates, brew up new antibiotics, or customize cell and gene therapies. It could be like having a crystal ball that shows us the best edits to make, slashing development times like never before. For drug discovery, Stargate could turn the process on its head, simulating molecule interactions at a pace and accuracy we’ve never seen. It will mean less time in the lab and more breakthroughs reaching patients faster. fortune.com/2024/04/02/mic…

Transport-as-a-Service #disruption well underway, as Tesla unveils their self driving robotaxi 🤖🚖 thedriven.io/2024/04/07/tes… "The #Robotaxi unveil will mark the convergence of Tesla’s latest Full Self Driving software and revolutionary 3rd generation vehicle manufacturing and usher in a new era of “Transport as a Service” (TaaS) with massive ramifications for the 70 million unit per annum global fossil car industry." 🧠 Ten years ago in his book Clean Disruption, RethinkX co-founder @tonyseba predicted the rise of automated, self driven electric vehicles, and the Transport-as-a-Service (#TaaS) disruption that would unfold. The TaaS disruption will see fleet owned and operated electric vehicles disrupt our individually owned, internal combustion engine vehicles. Watch Tony Seba describe the Disruption of Transportation in depth: youtu.be/Vqs0_3M-18c Read our report 'Rethinking Transportation': rethinkx.com/transportation… Read 'Clean Disruption': amazon.com.au/Clean-Disrupti…

Al Gore
Al Gore@algore·
COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

Dr @Tara_Shi gave a talk at the TETTRIs stakeholder lab last week at @NHM_Wien. She talked about the #syntheticbiology revolution and how the sector is projected to be worth €3 trillion. The benefits of #taxonomy for industry are very visible. Follow her for more insights 🦋

While this is a monumental step, the initial pledges seem inadequate. Especially the US's contribution – a point of contention and concern. How will this shape President Biden and John Kerry's climate legacy? #COP28 #ClimateFinance
