S2E3 Amateur Plant Biotech with Sebastian Coccioba


The technosingularians promising immortality next Tuesday need to understand the level of chaos in biological systems. Complex organisms periodically rebuild new bodies from single cells for a reason. Better switch back to plan A and pretend to upload minds into computers.

“There were some cells in there that were very messed up” In a technological tour-de-force, researchers have sequenced the whole genomes of more than 100 individual cells from one 74-year-old man go.nature.com/3M3m4KQ

Good ol' G.K. Chesterton has the answer to this: “The modern world is not evil; in some ways the modern world is far too good. It is full of wild and wasted virtues. When a religious scheme is shattered (as Christianity was shattered at the Reformation), it is not merely the…

A lot of those who support the erosion of high trust societies take Love to mean infinite forgiveness (eg criminals) and cosmopolitan tolerance. It has to be love with built in identification and communal integrity to let self-regard down.



Integers are the least real thing.


What's the equivalent of shoeshine boys talking about which stocks to buy in today's AI bubble age?


A chosen one story, but they change their mind half way through...

My favorite thing about this chart is that the median homebuyer age rose from 39 in 2005 to 59 in 2025 20 years over 20 years It’s literally the same people buying the homes two decades later

If I wanted to make money... Clone a human, then another copy 10 years later. Wait for one to get visibly aged (easy to speed up). Concoct a fake rejuvenation tech. Pretend the young clone is the old clone + treatment. Sell the fake treatment and cash in.


Tens of thousands of dollars for a robot that can dance but cannot do the dishes without a teleoperated slave inside is the definition of embodied slop.


What is foolishness, but applied wisdom?


Should I start blocking tweets in my feed that feel like they were written by AI? Seeing at least one in every five posts that feel very LLMmy. Some false positives are inevitable though. Should I care about the inevitable innocent victims?

"Then the poor, deprived of their land, were no longer eager for military service and had few children, so that soon all Italy was bereft of freemen and filled with gangs of foreign slaves, through whom the rich cultivated their estates, having driven away the free citizens." -…


What if the ghost in the machine was the friends we made along the way?


My love language is domesticating a new species to feed you after the collapse of civilisation.


The human brain has a specialised module which recognises slight differences in faces. What do human faces look like to people with damage in this region, apart from being indistinguishable? Are we really lovecraftian horrors when seen in our true form?

It's wild how quickly we consider the reliable production of food as a trivial solved problem, especially as silicon technologies advance. Agriculture is by no means solved, by no means trivial, and by no means secure. All the longevity hype means nothing if we don't have food.


Baseline. Vaseline. Is there any pair of words with more similar spelling and more divergent pronunciation?
