I was going to get off my biosecurity refusal hobby horse today but my brilliant product thinking has again been thwarted by Claude. What can we do about this @AnthropicAI ???

when my wife asks what I’m watching while I scroll the internet, I’ve started describing everything as “oh, it’s an art project…” it’s making me appreciate the memes more

Somebody should vibe code a Space Invaders type game where DNA bands with the little cat ear things come down an agarose gel and attack you I would vibe code it myself but I’m tired right now

dolphins in the East River should get the Punxsutawney Phil treatment: live coverage, a handler in a top hat, and a climate prediction and any whale in NY Harbor should close the schools. @NYCMayor

Wild stuff After reading this, I’m more convinced than ever that artificial wombs are a matter of when not if. And suspect it’ll go badly! Rich tech types would gladly engineer away human unpredictability in an attempt to control biology

everyday, I wake up, open the window, take a deep breath, and yell out: ‘protein binder generation models dont actually matter all that much, bc optimizing binding is one of the easiest and least costly steps in the drug design process’

it has become in vogue to say ‘protein binder generation models dont actually matter all that much, bc optimizing binding is one of the easiest and least costly steps in the drug design process’ but the argument against that (which i increasingly believe!) is that drug development is bottlenecked not necessarily by money — money is actually very abundant — but rather by the total ‘surface area’ of drug development that big pharma perceives is promising enough to help push along. this is correlated with money! but it is not money. it is actually attention binders-on-demand may dramatically increase that surface area — via the instant transmutation of uncertain biology into experimentally tractable biology — in weird ways that are very hard to foresee

the secret is: everything is more art than science. even science is more art than science.

Marc Andreessen says when AI does everything else, VC might be one of the last jobs still done by humans. It's more art than science. There's no formula. Just taste, psychology, and chaos tolerance.
