Welcome to the scientific revolution. 100s of robots. Zero coffee breaks. America’s largest autonomous lab, open today.

you can just tweet things

[Ben Birnbaum @benbirnbaum]

Someone wise (looking at you @michellearning!) once told me "you can just tweet" and it was freeing. When someone here (or anywhere) is clearly being authentic it's so much more compelling -- partly because it's inherently a little risky.

@Seatownhorse Damn that’s bleak

We need infra for science validation.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Publicly funded science should work more like open source software.

Today a result is a PDF. The data often isn't shared, the code isn't public, and few studies ever get replicated.

Imagine every experiment as a repo. Data, code, and protocol, all versioned. Anyone could fork it, rerun it, and send a fix. Funders could reward replications as much as new papers.

AI makes this urgent. Agents are now making more discoveries than ever. The bottleneck becomes replication/validation. Then commercialization, which still requires moving atoms in the real world and meetings with regulators.

@samelliottsam @Waymo I’m an incorrigible backseat driver not even a waymo can stop me 😂

[Michelle Lee @michellearning]

I was reflexively yelling stop seconds before my @Waymo hit another car. It didn’t hear me.

Totally avoidable accident. All I got was 5 free rides and a concussion 😮‍💨

medra's first halloween fashion show, big success!

plot twist: none of us picked our costume, it was chosen by our halloween secret sandy claws

[Michelle Lee @michellearning]

@nalidoust @adamdbs @Waymo Oof, did it lead to a collision?

Fortunately I was at a 4 way stop sign so both cars were moving slowly at 5-10mph, but that also made the accident seem 100% avoidable

@Irideia @armenberjikly @Waymo The other car was in the middle of doing an u-turn, my Waymo didn’t see it and drove into it. Hard to say who had right of way at the four way stop.

@sankeerth1729 @Waymo I didn’t even think of it! Next time my Waymo almost gets into an accident I’ll try it ;)

[Michelle Lee @michellearning]

@armenberjikly @Waymo It was a four way stop sign, other driver doing an U turn. Hard to tell who was at fault, but a human driver could have avoided it

[Michelle Lee @michellearning]

@RDMellish @Waymo Nah I’m just complaining on the internet it’s really not that deep

@cklemke @Waymo Yeah unfort 😮‍💨

[Michelle Lee @michellearning]

@VipulS_1 @Waymo Pretty sure they do have microphones

[Michelle Lee @michellearning]

@jonyeo88 @Waymo recovering!

[Michelle Lee @michellearning]

@nalidoust @Waymo Yeah it was also a stop sign. Honestly avoidable if I had access to the horn and could have warned the other driver
