When AI Discovers The Next Transformer - Robert Lange (Sakana)

Robert Lange, founding researcher at Sakana AI, joins Tim to discuss *Shinka Evolve* — a framework that combines LLMs with evolutionary algorithms to do open-ended program search. The core claim: systems like AlphaEvolve can optimize solutions to fixed problems, but real scientific progress requires co-evolving the problems themselves.GTC is coming, the premier AI conference, great opportunity to learn about AI. NVIDIA and partners will showcase breakthroughs in physical AI, AI factories, agentic AI, and inference, exploring the next wave of AI innovation for developers and researchers. Register for virtual GTC for free, using my link and win NVIDIA DGX Spark (https://nvda.ws/4qQ0LMg)• Why AlphaEvolve gets stuck — it needs a human to hand it the right problem. Shinka tries to invent new problems automatically, drawing on ideas from POET, PowerPlay, and MAP-Elites quality-diversity search.• The *architecture* of Shinka: an archive of programs organized as islands, LLMs used as mutation operators, and a UCB bandit that adaptively selects between frontier models (GPT-5, Sonnet 4.5, Gemini) mid-run. The credit-assignment problem across models turns out to be genuinely hard.• Concrete results — state-of-the-art circle packing with dramatically fewer evaluations, second place in an AtCoder competitive programming challenge, evolved load-balancing loss functions for mixture-of-experts models, and agent scaffolds for AIME math benchmarks.• Are these systems actually thinking outside the box, or are they parasitic on their starting conditions? When LLMs run autonomously, "nothing interesting happens." Robert pushes back with the stepping-stone argument — evolution doesn't need to extrapolate, just recombine usefully.• The AI Scientist question: can automated research pipelines produce real science, or just workshop-level slop that passes surface-level review? Robert is honest that the current version is more co-pilot than autonomous researcher.• Where this lands in 5-20 years — Robert's prediction that scientific research will be fundamentally transformed, and Tim's thought experiment about alien mathematical artifacts that no human could have conceived.Robert Lange: https://roberttlange.com/---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Introduction: Robert Lange, Sakana AI and Shinka Evolve00:04:15 AlphaEvolve's Blind Spot: Co-Evolving Problems with Solutions00:09:05 Unknown Unknowns, POET, and Auto-Curricula for AI Science00:14:20 MAP-Elites and Quality-Diversity: Shinka's Evolutionary Architecture00:28:00 UCB Bandits, Mutations and the Vibe Research Vision00:40:00 Scaling Shinka: Meta-Evolution, Democratisation and the Three-Axis Model00:47:10 Applications, ARC-AGI and the Future of Work00:57:00 The AI Scientist and the Human Co-Pilot: Who Steers the Search?01:06:00 AI Scientist v2, Slop Critique and the Future of Scientific Publishing---REFERENCES:paper:[00:03:30] ShinkaEvolve: Towards Open-Ended And Sample-Efficient Program Evolutionhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2509.19349[00:04:15] AlphaEvolve: A Coding Agent for Scientific and Algorithmic Discoveryhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2506.13131[00:06:30] Darwin Godel Machine: Open-Ended Evolution of Self-Improving Agentshttps://arxiv.org/abs/2505.22954[00:09:05] Paired Open-Ended Trailblazer (POET)https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.01753[00:10:00] PowerPlay: Training an Increasingly General Problem Solver by Continually Searching for the Simplest Still Unsolvable Problemhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1112.5309[00:10:40] Automated Capability Discovery via Foundation Model Self-Explorationhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2502.07577[00:15:30] Illuminating Search Spaces by Mapping Elites (MAP-Elites)https://arxiv.org/abs/1504.04909[00:47:10] Automated Design of Agentic Systems (ADAS)https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.08435PDF : https://app.rescript.info/api/sessions/b8a9dcf60623657c/pdf/downloadTranscript: https://app.rescript.info/public/share/SDOD_3oXOcli3zTqcAtR8eibT5U3gam84oo4KRtI-Vk

Rapid Approvals and Breakthroughs in Pharma Innovation

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we'll delve into a series of remarkable advancements and regulatory evolutions shaping the landscape of medicine.One of the most significant recent developments involves Boehringer Ingelheim's drug Hernexeos, which has seen a rapid expansion in its use as a first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This expansion was made possible through the FDA's Commissioner's National Priority Voucher, an initiative designed to fast-track the approval of treatments addressing critical needs. This rapid progression highlights a commitment to accelerating access to crucial oncological treatments, emphasizing the role of accelerated regulatory pathways in swiftly delivering innovative therapies to patients who need them the most.In oncology, a combination therapy involving Padcev and Keytruda is showing promising results in improving overall survival rates for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are eligible for cisplatin. However, the continuously evolving landscape of treatment options for this cancer type means that further evaluation is necessary. This scenario highlights the ever-changing nature of oncology strategies and the ongoing need for clinical validation to determine the most effective treatment regimens.Switching gears to immunology, UCB's Bimzelx has reached a significant sales milestone, reflecting its growing influence in treating multiple indications. This success points to an expanding market for immunology therapeutics, as the industry remains focused on developing blockbuster treatments that can serve various conditions effectively.On the regulatory front, Moderna's combination influenza/COVID-19 vaccine has received a positive review from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. This green light exemplifies the EU's dedication to thorough scientific evaluations. It contrasts with the FDA, which has exhibited hesitancy in this area, highlighting how varying regulatory approaches can affect drug availability in different regions.The field of HIV treatment is also seeing progress with GSK's ViiV division confirming the efficacy of its long-acting Cabenuva regimen for adolescents over a 96-week period. This long-acting regimen provides an alternative to daily oral therapies, potentially improving adherence and outcomes among younger populations—a crucial factor in managing chronic conditions effectively.Meanwhile, legal developments are stirring as the debate over "skinny labeling" for generic drugs reaches a pivotal point. The U.S. Supreme Court is being urged to overturn a ruling that endangers this pathway, highlighting the fine balance between fostering generic drug competition and protecting pharmaceutical innovation. In related legislative discussions, a Senate hearing focused on the FDA's rare disease review process has brought to light concerns about bureaucratic obstacles that may slow innovation. There is a call from stakeholders for more streamlined processes to ensure timely access to treatments for rare diseases—a sentiment echoed by many in the industry.The burgeoning field of CAR-T cell therapies continues to make waves, especially against solid tumors. Recent preclinical studies have shown potential efficacy in eradicating solid tumors in mice models. Despite these promising findings, significant regulatory challenges remain, and streamlining approval processes could accelerate their clinical application.In other significant news within the industry, Novartis has completed its acquisition of Avidity Biosciences for $12 billion, leading to the creation of Atrium Therapeutics. With a capitalization of $270 million, Atrium emerges with two promising preclinical candidates targeting cardiovascular conditions, signaling potential advSupport the show

In this week's episode of the Xtalks Life Science Podcast, host Ayesha Rashid, Senior Life Science Journalist at Xtalks, spoke with Andrea Wilkinson, Global Head of Patient Engagement & Advocacy, Epilepsy & Neuromuscular at UCB, a company dedicated to developing solutions for autoimmune and neurological conditions, including epilepsy. The company has a growing commitment to addressing unmet needs in rare neurological diseases and underserved patient populations. With fewer than 5% of clinical trials including pregnant women, major knowledge gaps persist, particularly for women with epilepsy. In this episode, we look at new research that used social media listening across several countries to uncover treatment fears, uncertainty and barriers women face during pregnancy and motherhood, and what must change to better support informed decision-making. While epilepsy is not considered a rare disease, epilepsy in pregnancy represents a small, clinically complex population that faces unique risks and persistent care gaps. Andrea is a biotech and health tech executive who has led strategic product launches for over 30 breakthrough biopharmaceutical therapies. Focused on improving outcomes for patients, particularly in rare diseases, she has worked with early- to late-stage launch teams at AstraZeneca/MedImmune, Takeda and Sanofi Pasteur. She develops platform tools, stakeholder roadmaps and patient-centered advocacy campaigns to support first-in-class medicines and address access, reimbursement, regulatory and commercial barriers. Andrea is also an angel investor with Pipeline Angels and serves on the boards of Project Open Hand and the HBA Pacific Region. She holds a BA from Louisiana Tech University.

Download the Episode Transcript in .pdf formatIn this episode of the Fund the People Podcast, you'll gain practical insights into how centering workers' perspectives -- and sharing power between employees and management -- can dramatically improve job quality in nonprofit organizations.Host Rusty Stahl sits down with Brianna Rogers and Rob Hope of Rework The Bay to unpack a bold funding experiment supported by the James Irvine Foundation and conducted in partnership with Jobs for the Future. Eight California nonprofits engaged frontline staff as participatory researchers to examine their own working conditions and to co-create improvements with their organizations' top executives.The results challenge assumptions. While compensation is foundational, workers most emphasized voice, transparency, shared leadership, professional growth, and healthier work boundaries as essential components of a quality job. The project surfaced five key lessons: workers can surface what truly matters; leaders grow when they listen; power must be intentionally shared; strategies must be tailored to organizational context; and job quality is an ongoing process—not a one-time fix.Through concrete examples—from four-day workweeks to anonymous feedback systems and participatory decision-making—this conversation offers nonprofit leaders and funders actionable ideas to advance shared leadership, transform funding practices, and elevate collective voice.Part of our ongoing California Voices Series, this episode is a roadmap for anyone committed to building nonprofit workplaces where staff can thrive—and where stronger internal culture leads to stronger community impact.Speaker Bios:ReWork the Bay Initiative Officer Brianna Rogers partners on ReWork's fundraising efforts and leads our systems change projects focused on building worker power, workforce training and advancing job quality. Brianna grew up in Berkeley, attended Berkeley City College where she served as one of two student delegates to the Peralta Community College District, then transferred to UC Berkeley as a first-generation, re-entry student parent, earning her bachelor's degree in Rhetoric Studies. While at UCB, Brianna developed innovative programming for the UC Berkeley's African Student Development Center and the Department of Equity and Inclusion. She went on to receive her master's degree from the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University, got her start in philanthropy as a National Urban Fellow at the Andrus Family Fund in New York City. In October 2020, she joined the San Francisco Foundation's Partnership for HOPE SF team, where she worked until joining the ReWork team in 2022.ReWork the Bay Director Rob Hope is responsible for leading execution of ReWork the Bay's strategy, as well as fundraising, grantmaking, budget management and partnership building. Rob joined ReWork the Bay in October 2017, after serving as Chief Program Officer at Rubicon Programs. Prior professional experience includes all levels of workforce development direct services, program evaluation and policy analysis, and community building work.

Send a textWhat happens when a movie you once despised suddenly makes you laugh out loud? We dive back into Strange Wilderness and pull apart why some of its dumbest jokes still work—and why the “movie” around them often doesn't. We set the table with the film's sketch roots, the Sandler-adjacent cast, and the loose, improv-first approach that leaves scenes searching for an ending. Then we zero in on the bright spots: the nature documentary parodies that deliver clean, quotable lines with a confident, wrong-on-purpose voiceover. When the film sticks to that angle, the jokes snap; when it wanders, setups die before their payoffs.We get specific. The turkey clinic should be a premise machine; instead it blinks at the exact moment heightening should kick in. The scar-trading campfire misses easy layups. A promised punch to a rival's face never lands. But Steve Zahn's full-throttle commitment wrings laughs from chaos, Justin Long's spaced-out physicality adds texture, and Jonah Hill's stream-of-consciousness bursts occasionally hit surreal gold. The Bigfoot finale is dark and oddly honest—humans panic and ruin discovery—followed by a ludicrous “fix” that somehow fits the crew's shameless logic. And yes, the late shark montage is a 10/10 showcase for tight edits and confidently stupid science, the kind of bit that proves craft can elevate silliness.Along the way we talk joke structure, UCB-style game, and why committing to escalation matters more than shock value. If you care about how comedy lands—writing, rhythm, and payoffs—you'll find plenty to argue with and steal for your own creative brain. Stay for the punchy breakdowns, the debate over dated gags, and our case for why the right edit can redeem a bad scene. Enjoy the ride, then tell us: secret classic or still a glorious mess?

Before all of that, Clara started out as an actor, training in Meisner with the late Jacqueline McClintock, studying scene study and script analysis with Larry Moss, and performing improv at UCB in Los Angeles and Toronto's Second City. She credits her love of story and character to her extensive training as an actor, and brings those experiences into her writing and directing work.

Nayla Chaijale, Medical Strategy Lead for Rare Syndromes at UCB, describes Dravet syndrome, a rare, medication-resistant epileptic encephalopathy that involves seizures and significant co-morbidities like cognitive and developmental delays. Their approved drug FINTEPLA has a unique mechanism of action that modulates pathways in the brain and has demonstrated a significant reduction in the frequency of convulsive seizures in those with this condition. Nayla notes that the good news is that most patients with Dravet syndrome have a mutation in the SCN1A gene, a critical biomarker that enables accurate diagnosis. Nayla explains, "So, Dravet syndrome is a rare condition in epilepsy, and what we call it is neurodevelopmental and epileptic encephalopathy. I'm just going to call it DEEs, to say that it's a rare epileptic syndrome. Even though it's very rare, it's also very burdensome for the patients and their families. So, people living with these conditions start having the symptoms at a very early age, between two and 15 months of life. And it usually appears after a fever or a high temperature. And the symptoms are seizures that usually are long, prolonged seizures. It's not just about the seizures, it's also the other symptoms, such as potential cognitive delays and other developmental delays, problems with sleep, problems with behavior over time."   "The good news about Dravet syndrome is that there is a very well-established biomarker. So, there is a genetic test for it, for the gene code that is called SCN1A. And also, in science, we love to have acronyms, but really, it's related to a specific type of receptors or proteins that are in charge of neuronal transmission and communication, like in the neurons. And these are called sodium channel neurotransmitters. And there is a mutation of that gene that is very characteristic, around 90% of these patients will have that mutation of the gene. So, having that biomarker will give a very good indication to the healthcare provider that the person living with the conditions may have Dravet syndrome." #UCB #DravetSyndrome #RareEpilepsy #FINTEPLA #Neuroscience #RareDiseases #EpilepsyAwareness #MedicalInnovation #PatientCare #NeurodevelopmentalDisorders #ClinicalTrials #RareDiseases ucb.com Download the transcript here

If you work across time zones, borders, and cultures, this is the show for you. This is your host Leonardo, welcome to The International Business Podcast. AI can now summarise almost anything in seconds. That's powerful, but it makes it easy to stay at the surface. We get headlines, bullet points, "3 key takeaways", and move on. What's lost is context, nuance, and understanding that changes how professionals think and decide in international business. With this new format, host Leonardo Marra pushes in the opposite direction. Instead of a quick AI overview, he built a long‑form deep dive into Japan after 1945: from World War II defeat to economic miracle, bubble, stagnation, and today's super‑aging, innovation‑driven society.Part 1 traces Japan's path from post‑war devastation through U.S. occupation, state‑guided capitalism, keiretsu networks, export‑led growth, oil shocks, the 1980s bubble, and the "lost decades." It links policy, institutions, and social change to Japan's rise and current challenges.Part 2 shifts to practical insights. Guests who live and work in and around Japan share how firms make decisions, how kaizen and relationships function, how demographics reshape strategy, and what foreign executives consistently misunderstand about the Japanese market.--------⁠Join Leonardo on Patreon for Podcast Archive and Bonus episodes (100+ episodes). ⁠--------With guests:Massimiliano Colonna – Director of Communications, Brookings Institution Governance Studies.

 In this episode, we'll focus on new onset refractory status epilepticus or NORSE, and its closely related presentation, febrile and infection related epilepsy syndrome, known as FIRES. NORSE and FIRES are clinical presentations where the evidence is limited, stakes are high, and treatment often has to begin before the diagnosis is clear. They also raise broader questions about how neurology can respond to rare but catastrophic illness, including how patients, families and researchers can work together to move the field forward. For an update on NORSE and FIRES, we spoke with Dr. Howard Goodkin and Dr. Larry Hirsch. Dr. Goodkin is the Shure professor of neurology and pediatrics at University of Virginia. Dr. Larry Hirsch is a professor of neurology at Yale University. They were interviewed by Dr. Ifrah Zawar, assistant professor of neurology at the University of Virginia.  Disclosures: Dr. Hirsch has received consultation fees for advising from Ceribell, Natus, & UCB and honoraria for speaking/training from Neuropace & Natus.

We also discuss Jack's experiences on the sets of some of the projects he has worked on, including Hacks, the TV show TED, Never Have I Ever, and my personal thoughts on both Hacks and Young Sheldon. Jack breaks down what it is like to work with and for Mindy Kaling, as well as working with and for Seth MacFarlane. I dive deep into what would make Jack get into improv, and what he has gained from it. You can find Jack and his improv group performing around the Los Angeles area as HEAT WAVE.
