Get Adam Marblestone on Dwarkesh Podcast

Yo! Adam Marblestone just went deep on the Dwarkesh Podcast on December 30, 2025, arguing that AI is missing something fundamental about how the brain learns and tying it to concrete research roadmaps. He is not just theorizing, he runs Convergent Research, which in October 2025 announced a partnership with the UK’s ARIA to launch new Focused Research Organizations in 2026.

His ecosystem is breaking into mainstream headlines right now, with reporting on December 19, 2025 that Sam Altman’s Merge Labs will spin out of Forest Neurotech, a Convergent Research FRO, signaling that this model is seeding frontier neurotech. With Congress updating FY2026 federal R&D funding guidance on December 23, 2025, hearing Marblestone’s playbook for building essential scientific infrastructure could influence how money and talent are deployed today.
