SynBio 🧬

crazy but most biology experiments are still done by hand (e.g. pipetting, mixing).

leveraging AI for biological progress is only as good as the data, but that data is bottlenecked by human hands just as LLMs are by text.

biology won’t accelerate until robots + software primarily run experiments. big opportunity.

right-to-repair includes right-to-biohack, both almost completely copyleft mandates

I often wonder what the world will look like in a "wet box revolution", where en vitro datagathering is as automated and inhuman as ASML's lithography.

while silicon needs capex-intensive tooling, nature is peak parallelism, and the implications of every self-interested actor gaining magnitudes more ability to amplify and select biochemistry, on top of hyperaccelerated ecological contamination, lead me to believe that we must find a cooperative incentive with standard robotics.
