This is a wild overstatement of what was actually achieved. But “AI successfully remixed a small number of mostly already-observed, largely synonymous mutations and in a few rare cases managed to make it nonlethal” doesn’t sell hype as well

If I’m being honest, the way I feel about the ‘90s is comparable to the way certain Baby Boomers feel about the ‘60s. So, I feel super fortunate that I was allowed to help put this together.

I did some questionable shit on my 30th birthday too
Coming in 2026, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we’re finally planning to add a comments section and reader scores to all of our album reviews. That’s over 30,000 pieces of music criticism on which you’ll be able to leave your own Pitchfork review and score for the very first time. We’re going to beta test with 500 readers now, and we’ll be back with more information soon. We can’t wait for your takes to be on our website.

Welcome to the age of generative genome design!
In 1977, Sanger et al. sequenced the first genome—of phage ΦX174.
Today, led by @samuelhking, we report the first AI-generated genomes. Using ΦX174 as a template, we made novel, high-fitness phages with genome language models. 🧵
