AI Wrote a Message in DNA
|
|
|
|
DNA packs more info into less space than anything humans have built. That’s why scientists keep trying to save files in it.
|
|
A lot of the science behind the tests and treatments you count on starts with someone at a lab bench. They move tiny tubes between machines one step at a time. The work stops when they go home for the night.
|
|
AutoDNA is a new lab that hands the bench work to a group of AI agents. They plan the experiment between themselves and carry it through to the last step while robotic arms shuttle samples between more than 20 kinds of lab machines. One project can run thousands of steps.
|
|
They put the lab through a few tests to see what it could handle. The fun one was storing a message in DNA.
|
|
The agents turned the words into DNA code and built the strands. The message came right back out when they sequenced those strands later.
|
|
They also had it check a DNA sample for a mutation tied to cancer.
|
|
Then it worked out its own recipe for making DNA with enzymes. The results matched the best ones human scientists had reached.
|
|
The people in the lab didn’t go anywhere, by the way. They keep the supplies stocked and fix the machines when something jams.
|
|
Our take: The slow part of science would stop being the bench work if more labs worked like this. Picking the right question would take its place. That could mean the next test or treatment you’re waiting on spends less time stuck in line for a free pair of hands.

Together with Attio
|
Agents Work Better With Brakes
|
|
|
|
An agent working through your customer list overnight saves you hours.
|
|
One wrong instruction is the risk. It repeats the same mistake on record after record until morning.
|
|
Attio lets you stop an agent the second something looks off.
|
|
Tell it to flag deals that’ve gone quiet and it checks each record around the clock.
|
|
Open any run and you see what the agent read and what it decided.
|
|
Pause it or cancel it right there. Once the instruction is fixed, replay the run without redoing the rest.
|
|
Each agent runs as someone you name. It gets that person’s permissions and nothing more.

A World That Draws Itself as You Look
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, there’s a part of a photo you wish you could see. Maybe it’s what’s around the corner or what was behind the person holding the camera.
|
|
AI video doesn’t help much there. The clip shows whatever angle the AI picked.
|
|
Frameboy lets you walk around instead. It’s a little demo from World Labs that runs right in your browser. It’s honestly kind of a trip.
|
|
It looks like an old handheld with tiny cartridges along the top. Each one drops you into a different place. Some started from one picture or one sentence.
|
|
Others are real landmarks rebuilt from photos taken from all sides.
|
|
Nothing around you is there until you turn to look. The AI paints each new view as you move. It can do that up to 15x per second.
|
|
If you want to try it:
|
-
Open the Frameboy page in your browser.
-
Pick a cartridge and give it a few seconds to load.
-
Move with the D-pad and look around with the stick.
|
|
You can’t build your own world yet. That takes Viewfinder, a separate World Labs tool with a waitlist for now.
|
|
Our take: You can read about world models all day and still not get them. Spend one minute turning around inside one and it clicks.

Voice AI
|
Muse Gets a Voice and a Face
|
|
|
|
“Voice means Muse goes with you.”
|
|
That line comes straight from Meta. It sums up what’s new in their Muse agent.
|
|
Typing a trip plan out on your phone is slow. Doing it while you’re carrying groceries is worse.
|
|
Muse can talk with you out loud now. You say what you need and it gets to work in the background while you keep talking.
|
|
It shows up on screen as an animated face. The face reacts while you speak. Its small expressions and gestures match the mood of the chat. That’s how you can tell it’s following along. Ask and it changes how it sounds.
|
|
It's rolling out in the Muse app on your phone and computer. Tap the phone icon in the top-right corner of the Muse app to start.
|
|
Our take: Voice gets more interesting once it reaches Muse Charm. That’s the tiny device Meta built for chatting with your Muse. Talking could start to replace tapping as the main way people use their AI.

Headphones That See What You See
|
|
|
|
Old buildings on a trip don’t come with a caption.
|
|
You could pull out your phone and search for the one in front of you. With these headphones you ask instead.
|
|
Rollme’s AuraCam are over-ear headphones with a small camera built into one ear cup.
|
|
Face a landmark and the AI will tell you what it is (powered by OpenAI).
|
|
It can also translate a conversation as it happens. Point it at a printed page and it translates the words on it.
|
|
The camera takes hands-free photos and steady video while you walk around as well.

What One Eye Photo Says About Aging
|
|
|
|
The back of your eye is the one spot where a doctor can check your blood vessels without a needle or a scan.
|
|
A routine eye exam captures them in a single quick photo. Those tiny vessels shift as your body ages. Most of that change goes by without anyone reading much into it. A new AI called RetiME reads it all. From that one photo it estimates a person’s risk of dying and sketches out how their aging is likely to play out over the years ahead.
|
|
Its makers trained it on eye photos from more than 60,000 people. They checked it afterward against three more groups spread across three continents. It beat two aging tests doctors already lean on. One is grip strength. The other is telomere length, a measure of the protective caps on the ends of your DNA.
|
|
It also sorted people into separate aging paths, each tied to different diseases.
|
|
The scientist who led the work says the retina shows “not just how much the body has aged” but where that aging is headed.
