1:27-23:20 Have you used LLMs to analyze genetic language?
23:45-29:38 Will bacteria become more resistant/stronger against human bodies in the future? Or will humans become stronger?
29:47-34:10 Could you just build specialized cells from scratch using printed DNA?
34:12-38:59 Can machines replace organs?
39:07-43:49 Several years ago, I read about research into DNA being used as logic gates. Is this still an active area of research, or has it been dismissed as not useful?
43:57-51:09 To what extent do you think we'll attain some kind of universality regarding the reprogramming of live biological systems, on par with current software systems running on silicon substrates?
51:13-51:50 How can cellular automata and systems like John Conway's Game of Life provide insights into evolutionary dynamics?
51:53-54:02 Can artificial life simulations effectively replicate aspects of biological evolution in a controlled digital environment?
54:13-56:13 A baseline bacterium for which we fully understand the effect of every gene on its own and of all genes as a whole.
56:17-59:25 Do you think gene regulatory networks function as "observers like us"?
59:36-1:02:43 Might it be possible in the future where if there's a crime, we could put a DNA sequence into a computer and it would show a picture of that person. i.e by simulating the evolution of the organism?

3:44 May I ask a simple question? What aspects or elements of a probability distribution can be computed or quantified, and how are these computations used to describe the distribution?
28:21 Why are some creatures nocturnal? Why arent humans?
35:04 Is the normal distribution related to the complexity of the dynamics, or is it found equally at all scales?
38:16 Does pi have a normal number distribution?
39:40 Google says the average human height is 59–its 510 in the US.
41:16 I read that there is a puzzle over why no new body plans developed since the Cambrian. In your machine learning view of adaptive evolution, whats happening here?
54:31 Apparently Japanese kids are getting taller, correlated with red meat consumption.
1:02:04 Do you think there are so many variables that its impossible to figure out? Everyone knows about corn syrup, but there are also things like smoking was very common, etc.
1:07:58 What kinds of diseases that have afflicted humanity for almost all of our history would stunt growth?
1:12:05 If you consume less energy, your processes including various damage and aging slow down, right?
1:15:19 Could we have evolved out of needing an appendix because of diet?
1:20:21 Is it possible to measure somehow the intelligence of dinosaurs?
