@SheaSerrano What skill or lesson from teaching best equipped or prepared you for this next chapter of entrepreneurship in the creative field?

[Tim Lyden @TJLyden]

@soychotic Why are you tweeting about this? Seriously. Just handle it as a manager. That’s your job. “That’s what the money’s for.”

@DwightHoward Classy move @DwightHoward

New YouTube video: 1hr general-audience introduction to Large Language Models
https://t.co/Bl4WNuNyFJ

Based on a 30min talk I gave recently; It tries to be non-technical intro, covers mental models for LLM inference, training, finetuning, the emerging LLM OS and LLM Security.

What do wastewater, social media, traveler testing, & genomic sequencing have in common? Each provided info to help disease detectives quickly track spread of BA.2.86 variant of the virus that causes COVID-19. More on how early detection helps in @CDCMMWR: https://t.co/P3C3sOJj0B

Today I visited @Ginkgo in Boston to discuss & hear about efforts related to biosecurity. We must be proactive & discuss concerns of today to prevent issues of tomorrow. Biology doesn't recognize borders. That's why biosecurity in all its forms is a matter of national security.

So excited to announce our partnership with @googlecloud in AI!!

Thread on why I think writing DNA will be the biggest application of AI in the long run. 🧬🧵

[Ginkgo Bioworks @Ginkgo]

We’re working with @Google to teach AI to speak DNA.

(1/n) Biological threats are a century-defining problem and biodefense is a core DoD mission. Threats are accelerating because of bad actors' willingness to explore advances in genetic engineering and the combination of AI + biotechnology.

We were thrilled to have @CDCDirector pay a visit to the @CDCtravel Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance (TGS) booth at the Seattle airport last week! We are so proud to support TGS, along with our partners, @Xprescheck. https://t.co/hQwDHzmJI8

I'm stoked to see our new work with IARPA announced! A few words on why I believe projects like this are important for the future of synthetic biology. 1/n

@bryancurtis Solid burn @bryancurtis - love your work on #pressboxpod and (too rare these days) Sports Repoders pop-up pods over the years.

[Tim Lyden @TJLyden]

@VanLathan you are really really great at your job (your vocation, if I can be so presumptuous).

“The question is not if there will be another public health threat, but when. The C.D.C. needs public and congressional support if it is going to be prepared to protect you from future threats.” https://t.co/gMJnQrQXvs
