Why biological systems offer the ideal training ground for reinforcement learning: automated verification through physics, not human judgment. From protein design with AlphaFold to RNA folding with ViennaRNA, biology provides the verifiable inverse problems that RL needs at scale.

Machine learning is illuminating biology's hidden half: intrinsically disordered proteins and RNA structures that traditional methods could never capture. But can we trust what we're seeing?

World models enable AI agents to imagine futures and plan actions, achieving 10-100x better sample efficiency than traditional reinforcement learning. From DreamerV3 collecting diamonds in Minecraft to foundation models like Sora and Genie, world models represent AI's shift from pattern matching to simulating reality itself.

Smart people disagree dramatically about whether AGI is five years away or fifty. The evidence reveals why this definitional crisis matters more than the technology itself.

MIT researchers used generative AI to create novel antibiotics from scratch, not finding them, but designing them. The breakthrough matters less for what it creates than for what it proves.
