making food safety as reliable as gravity @ChureAI. Thinking out loud here

[Shedrack Erugo @_drshake_]

Running experiments every week building Chure and measuring meaningful progress

This week realized that always-on might be very simple but it instills “you watching me all the time” in vendors
- changed the direct messaging to vendors to “your personal hygiene inspector” waitlist 2x ( 500-1000+) in 3 days
- Released a Spotless Kitchen Episode with a vendor on waitlist
- Designed the Churred Safety verifiable badge (incentive for vendors and transparency for consumers) soon you see on vendors’ profiles, webpages, storefronts.

Amidst many experiments these moved the tangent

@clandestineable @varrock First Sputnik was world's first orbital satellite and it took the US by surprise. It points to how Russia have operated in the past on groundbreaking technologies.

[Alfred Lin @Alfred_Lin]

This quote from Steve Jobs has always resonated with me. An important reminder as we write the chapters of our life's book.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Case in point. We are building autonomous biosafety systems, starting with food safety and literally our pilots want to be monitored(the privacy talk became less of a problem gradually) they would rather no one get infected, that outbreaks are prevented. The problem also is the Al technology messaging is the worst; we forgot that technology adoption is less about what the tech can do but much more how the tech makes ppl feel. It’s human nature to resist what it fears

Hmmm, I would agree that the days of struggle are never the most beautiful. But not sure romanticizing struggle is a sign of not having struggled. Have seen and met ppl whose identity are tied to their struggles, some are masochistic. And I read the quote in two ways « when you look back at your struggle you realize how much it taught you, how you pushed through OR that you look at your current situation and laugh at how fraught you were for the thing that gave you strength/resilience ».
How do you interpret the quote ?

Conventional medicine is oblivious to subclinicwl bacterial endotoxicosis / LPS as a key driver in many modern chronic disease processes like insulin resistance & chronic inflammation.

If beef jerky had a better PR guy we would have 1/10th the number of protein bars

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health.

That work started with AlphaFold, and now at @IsomorphicLabs with the mission to reimagine drug discovery and one day solve all disease!

We are turbocharging that goal with $2.1B in new funding.

@hthieblot Biology is which level ?

[Shedrack Erugo @_drshake_]

@elonmusk @iScienceLuvr Any title/ credential fixation is utter ego garbage (you notice later that some don’t even think, they just have credentialed rote knowledge) but I don’t blame them because that’s what majority of society is now incentivizing and it’s costing us civilization innovations.

[Shedrack Erugo @_drshake_]

@drgurner @BrianAtlas I find it funny that we complain about consequences of what we have incentivized. Incentives reinforce behaviors whether good or bad.

[Shedrack Erugo @_drshake_]

I call it siloing. It’s human nature to avoid pain cos most of thinking of the human body or any system in full demands refusing existing laws, your own assumptions and dig all the way to root causes. Also what is incentivized is what gets built , esp. when we can’t price the whole process

[Shedrack Erugo @_drshake_]

@gradypb Our systems will need to not just be resilient but antifragile from public health to public safety to financial security to climate etc in an autonomous world

[Shedrack Erugo @_drshake_]

@billclerico Yes our systems need to become resilient in an autonomous world from public safety to public health to climate to financial security etc. We are building a real time biological trust layer for the physical world starting with food safety.

@chandhana Best user is the maker and I t’s actually fun.

@glennotiende Charles de Gaulle too

[Shedrack Erugo @_drshake_]

@zachglabman On point! And most of inventions we are enjoying came from engineering and scientific minds not engineering and science degrees. We have been enamored by digital world for 30 years and forgot that tinkerers created the world we are in

[Shedrack Erugo @_drshake_]

You know after sometime you realise Schopenhauer was right . Ppl argue with the limit of their imaginations and impose it as the limits of the world. Instead of asking « why do you say so ? » « What do you see ? » Those two questions alone can change how you invest time, money, resources etc

@Alfred_Lin And ! North/vision or whatever it’s called played infinitely while daily/weekly/monthly execution- finite. A man needs a thousand mile to walk but must say to himself every morning I will cover 20 miles.
