What it is: X post by tobi lutke linking to a new Evolution paper by Steven A. Frank

Gist: paper argues evolvability is best understood as generalization; imports modern ML intuition that larger / more parameterized systems can generalize better, then maps that onto biological complexity and genomic/regulatory capacity

Newsletter angle: evolution-as-generalization; complexity as reusable-solution capacity rather than mere accumulation
