i left sora early this year to start a team at openai to build something great. but i've always been a founder, and there is one last product i need to build before AGI
already miss all my friends and Colleague(s), i believe in you! more soon
I’ve wanted to do this for a decade.
But I never did - I refuse to give any company my DNA.
It is me.
So this week I sequenced my genome entirely at home. Literally on my kitchen table.
I never exposed my DNA sequence to the internet. Not at any point.
I used a MinION to do the sequencing (it’s smaller + weighs less than an iPhone).
I used open-source DNA models for the analysis (Evo2 and AlphaGenome) running locally on a DGX Spark and Mac Studio.
I traced mechanisms behind my family’s multigenerational autoimmune conditions that no clinician has been able to understand.
When I set out to do this I didn’t know if it would actually work. It does.
Your genome is the most private data you will ever have. You probably shouldn’t let it leave your house.
