In this edition: New research explores the causal ability of LLMs and DNA storage in thermoresponsive capsules; a talk on human-centered AI; and a CFP for funding for LLM productivity research projects from the Microsoft New Future of Work Initiative.

A diagram showing the end-to-end DNA data storage process. First, software encodes digital bits, ones and zeros, into an electronic representation of DNA sequences, represented by the letters G, C, A, and T. Then, the sequences are written into physical molecules using DNA synthesis and are preserved. A single chain of synthetic DNA is shown with G, C, A, and T, representing the DNA being preserved. Data stored in DNA molecules is retrieved using random access, and then sequenced to read the synthetic DNA. Software, then, decodes the information back into digital bits.
