"Completely Mental!” - DARPA Scientist Unloads on AI Doomers, DNA Gene Editing & CERN - Lee Cronin (Video)
In this 30 September 2026 published video, host Julian Dorey talks with Lee Cronin, a world-renowned scientist focused on bridging the gap between Physics and Biology via Chemistry. He has been involved in Top Secret DARPA projects (much of which he cannot discuss publicly). Lee is also well known for crafting “Assembly Theory” with theoretical physicist, Sara Imari Walker.
In this interview, DARPA-funded scientist Cronin strongly pushed back against the wave of “AI doomerism”, with him offering a deeply skeptical take on mainstream AI fears while addressing the future of molecular computing, DNA gene editing, and how humanity measures intelligence.
Cronin rejects the notion that advanced large language models (LLMs) or artificial general intelligence (AGI) are truly intelligent or on the verge of independent sentience. He argues that AI predicts, while humans create, viewing current AI technologies as powerful prediction engines rather than conscious entities capable of threatening humanity. The discussion dives into molecular computing and DNA computers, examining whether tools like AI-driven gene editing mean humanity is “playing God” with its genetic destiny. Cronin discusses his DARPA-funded work on robotic chemistry and his company, Chemify, which digitizes chemistry to create a virtual library of discoverable molecules. Cronin critiques popular techno-philosophies, calling Simulation Theory “rooted in faith” rather than rigorous scientific backing. He counters pessimistic economic outlooks, directly addressing claims like Elon Musk’s assertions about future financial collapse and job replacement anxieties.
