We're hosting a small event to discuss the latest advances in AI and biology this Friday evening, featuring @arcinstitute researchers and others. Apply if interested! https://t.co/Esdvf4td1F
Excited to be speaking at @Techweek_ with @askaCoS and @Microsoft . We'll be talking about how the CoS role is evolving with AI and what it looks to lead through this transformation.
Will I see you there?

This is what I call "Schrödinger's Agenda".
The meeting exists in a superposition of having a purpose and not having a purpose until someone finally asks what we're deciding, at which point it collapses into "oh, this is just a sync."
The rule "if you can't say what decision you're asking for, you're not ready for the meeting" is brilliant because it forces the wave function to collapse before you waste seven person-hours.
Trevor Milton, billionaire founder of $NKLA, is currently on trial for fraud.
Shortly after his hydrogen truck company was exposed, an army of hackers and spies started targeting his critics and whistleblowers.
Here's what happened & how we turned the tables.

Short-selling is not for the faint of heart
Hindenburg built a business finding fraud in public and private markets as an activist short-seller, & mostly got it right!
Now founder Nate Anderson says he'll invest his money in index funds and other low-stress investments :)
TIL Hindenburg never actually managed money - they shared ideas with other funds for a cut of profitable trades alongside their own $$.
#ICYMI: Science’s 2024 Breakthrough of the Year is lenacapavir, an injectable drug that demonstrated remarkable success at preventing HIV infection with one shot every 6 months.

"Earlier this month, the first baby created with a new “lightweight” form of IVF was born in Lima, Peru. The birth was announced yesterday by @GametoGen, a New York City-based startup that is developing an ovary-in-a-dish derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells." https://t.co/xWtueLghyt
NEWS!
We built a content format that we hope will change media:
Extendable Articles
These articles include an AI chat with access to all of the sources we used to write the article—including hours of original interviews and research.
So you can get our perspective—and also form your own.
Our first Extendable Article is called The Religion of Ramp and it's a deep dive on how @tryramp became one of the fastest growing startups ever.
@itsurboyevan did hours of interviews with the Ramp team including CEO @eglyman and you can ask questions like:
- What was said in the interviews that didn't make it into the article?
- If you read between the lines, what can you tell from the interviews that no one ever explicitly said?
- What's vibe of Ramp like based on the interviews?
- What perspective did the interviewer bring?
And you can get an instant answer based on all available sources—powered by @AnthropicAI's Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
We think it's one small way we can make media better for both writers and readers.

Today brought new progress in the battle against disease. I see it because I'm in the biotech weeds. Every day brings something new, actually.
Americans should take pride in what they make possible w/ just 8% of their healthcare dollars. We're all patients, eventually.

Announcing Nautilus: A three-month gap program where you get paid –no strings attached– to dive into your craziest, most ambitious project.
Yes, you read that right. Come live with us in San Francisco and build the next Renaissance.
How it works:
Terrorbytes is out now on Steam! We had a ton of fun making it, and it has turned into a damn solid product that still causes me to scream/laugh while playing with friends.

The official Fault Lines trailer is live! 🚨🚨
Four years ago, we set out to tell the story of America’s housing crisis through the prism of what was happening in our own backyard of San Francisco.
Today we’re excited to bring this film out into the world with our first trailer and a series of advanced screenings around the country.

Excited to announce the launch of LiveNearFriends
I believe there actually is “one weird trick” for a happy life.
It’s living within a short walk from close friends or family.
LiveNearFriends is a tool to help you make that happen.

Good follow-up piece by @fumano:
"But it’s very difficult to see how real progress can be made on a shortfall of 14,911 child-care spaces if homeowners on every block want to — and can — effectively veto a daycare." https://t.co/dnT7zRDOde
After 12 years, yesterday was my last day as CEO of @Gavi. I leave with deep pride and gratitude for all the incredible people I’ve met along the way. I am honored to have worked alongside so many dedicated and inspiring people and
thank each and every one of you.
