Biology is too dense for us to model it exhaustively with our own minds But a few powerful mental models will suffice to fully understand it with lots of compute and AI Biology is a relatively simple compute problem once you can read it at a high enough resolution

"Biology is becoming an information technology. We're learning to read and debug our own biological software to stop diseases before they can threaten our lives. Breakthroughs like this are about to unlock longevity escape velocity." - Ray Kurzweil, Futurist

Textbook biology, brought to life right in your browser 🌿 This interactive 5-stage visual atlas built by Argon in @antigravity turns dense textbook biology into a hands-on experience. With fluid animations and scientific precision, you can scroll from a sunlit leaf all the way down to sub-cellular chloroplasts. The model pairs accuracy with a seamless interactive design, demonstrating how to build educational tools that can make complex science visual and effortless to explore.

In biology, like in cybersecurity, we’ll learn in the coming years that most of the risk is concentrated and created by the few most powerful labs and that open-source AI is the solution and mitigation of this risk!

For anyone getting into biology, please consider taking airborne disease resistance more seriously. It's a super important area of medicine that is a huge cause of death and sickness but easily gets forgotten. We're likely to get many more airborne plagues in the future due to the combination of not just extremely dense and interconnected society (including city and farm animals), but also accidents from bio research and offensive biotech (both from random people and from secret government programs that can easily get themselves exempted from safety restrictions), all enhanced by powerful AI. Right now, this area is getting way less love than longevity research (which continues to be super important!), but it's an area where there are lots of unclaimed wins that we know exactly how to do (but are not yet doing) with present-day tech: * early detection * passive universal testing * filtration/ventilation/UVC * better vaccines (including making them open source and open science) * cryptography to make all of the above privacy-preserving We can have China-level pandemic resistance with Sweden-level limited intrusion into people's lives, and then go even further. We just have to actually do the work for it.
