Humans will continue to commune with the super intelligence, who will understand our mental limitations and deliver a firehose of relatable concepts. The research work will be done by AI, but a select few “ascended” humans may choose to lose themselves in connection to it.
If we want to continue progress in science, we must be prepared to acknowledge that the correct description of nature will eventually simply be too complicated for humans to understand. I do not think it is wise to make human understanding a requirement. AI is the way forward.

Biology has been doing computer science for four billion years. Before the discovery of DNA, Alan Turing and John von Neumann worked out the logic of self-replicating machines, showing how matter folds into a system that reads and executes instructions to build itself.

Technical debt is now when you don’t stop to talk to your coding agent.

reflecting on 1920s images of people working on massive generators for the electrification of the modern world makes me realize that the past was wildly futuristic too

Science is fundamentally about tool creation and use. Design an experiment (a measuring tool) to measure a variable.

How do you build a brain from a genome? We know a lot about the mechanisms and molecules Here we revisit the algorithmic problem: What kinds of programs can specify a brain within the genome’s information budget and the finite time available for development?

Neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology are like machine hardware, kernel development, and software.

Everybody has their own way they use codex or claude tools for coding. This setup works for me because it's parallel (fast) and manages reports. I like seeing both big updates in reports and also the finished experiments.

It lives in a space of possible inferential programs, coded by DNA, which transform the energy function to prefer some states over others
