Lots of people are asking me how to register - you don't need to. Just show up.
I’ve organized many conferences before, but I’m extra happy to invite you to this one🥶. It’s special:
Francis Crick controversially proposed that the genetic code was a “frozen accident”: a chance choice that became difficult to change because so much had evolved around it.
Join us on November 20th in Paris, at Galerie Colbert (INHA), for a conference organized by HiCSA_UP1 SorbonneParis1, to explore this idea across art, science and culture. It matters in very different areas, from the marble Michelangelo used to sculpt David to borders between countries. The choices we’re making now about AI and energy might become frozen accidents that future generations struggle to change.
Was Crick wrong? Do frozen accidents really exist? What role does chance play, and what would it take to unfreeze them? We have amazing speakers, including Nick Lane, @Biol4Ever, @SefyHendler and Carolina Mangone, and many others (see poster).
Please share this widely, especially with people outside your field. Be there or be frozen!!!

If you’re running low on fascinating biology, look no further!👇
"Isoleucine absence from adult human hemoglobin is mirrored in mosquito proteomes and limits malaria parasite growth" - They provocatively suggest that our hemoglobin has no isoleucine because it's a defense mechanism against the parasites that mosquitoes carry 🤳
🩸🩸🩸TODAY WE SHARE TWO MAJOR DISCOVERIES🩸🩸🩸
1. We peered into genomes and brains of rare mosquitoes that QUIT feeding on blood and found what biting is built from
2. Humans got rid of isoleucine in their blood, malaria suffers from it, and mosquito proteomes budget for it

Our diploid aware genomic language model is out!
The genomes we train AI models on do not exist. Most genomic language models read a single haploid sequence, but human genomes are diploid.

Experts fear AI might become superhuman, hack anything, revolutionize every field and destroy humanity.
But be better than the average peer reviewer?
Let’s not get carried away.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
