This week’s Friday Wrap-Up looks back at Nicolai Tangen’s podcast conversation with Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google and one of the most influential voices on AI. Marthe Skaar and Nicolai discuss how investors should think about a business model where a new AI model takes about six months to build and may be out of date within months. They also cover why Nicolai believes over-regulating AI could hold Europe back, and why companies need to change their culture much faster than before. They also look at the gender gap in AI use at the fund, and Nicolai also shares how he prepares for his podca

How can organismal choices drive adaptive evolution? Can plasticity act as a kind of selection? In this episode, we talk with Pim Edelaar, a professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemical Engineering at the University Pablo de Olavide, Spain. He’s also the author of the new book The Selective Organism: An Expanded Theory of Adaptive Evolution. In the book, Pim proposes that in addition to natural selection there might be a “second driver” of adaptive evolution. We discuss the book with Pim, explore how non-genetic inheritance and plasticity underpin the theory, and talk about
First up on the podcast, News Editor Tim Appenzeller joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about an x-ray image that is upsetting the narrative of DNA’s discovery as told by James Watson. A newly resurfaced photo taken by Rosalind Franklin—photo 49—shows she was aware of the helical structure of DNA and explains why her published image—photo 51—does not have indications of her understanding of its shape. Next on the show, producer Elah Feder chats with Andreas Nieder, professor of animal physiology and director of the Institute for Neurobiology at the University of Tübingen, about the high speed of
Warm welcome to Basil Chatha, our newest cohost from the Forward Deployed side of the AI Engineering world! We’ll be ramping up a new show with him and couldn’t pass up an interview with Modal’s CEO Eric on the occasion of their monster Series D! Two years ago, we spoke with Erik Bernhardsson about his vision for truly serverless AI infrastructure: developers should be able to run code without provisioning clusters, predicting load, or paying for idle resources. CTO Akshat then joined us to talk about Modal’s infra primitives and stack to offer those primitives and agent experience. A lot has
