AI Designs New Proteins, Unlimited Clean Energy, and Robots That Learn Like Humans

??? Only have a few minutes? Enrich your knowledge for the day with this bite-sized podcast on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.

?? In this episode of Sparks and Signals, we explore:

• A frontier language model for biology that can design new proteins from scratch, simulating 500 million years of evolution.
• The untapped potential of geothermal energy and innovative techniques to harness it for clean, abundant power.
• A humanoid robot system called HumanPlus that learns complex tasks by observing and imitating human movements.
