I tried to biohack my pregnancy.
My smart ring thought I was dying. My smart scale thought I was a different person. I think I built a second six-pack.

Don’t you hate choosing between learning science and watching a live dating game? Us, too!
That’s why we’re delighted to invite you to the second @carnegiescience Social on Monday, March 23rd at @caveatnyc ! The first event was an absolute sold-out delight (see below), and this time we have two brand new Carnegie Science scientists to entertain you.
This event will feature two incredible Astrobiologists: Dr. Andrew Steele and Dr. Mike Greklek-McKeon. We’ll be playing Mission Matchmaker on the stage with the scientists and brave volunteers: part dating game and part space mission where the audience questions two secret celestial candidates and commits to a cosmic destination before the big reveal.
Volunteer to win some Carnegie Science swag!
WHEN: Monday, March 23, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
WHERE: Caveat Theater 21 A Clinton St, New York, NY 10002

My friend Sarah Rose Siskind (@srsiskind) is incubating two types of intelligence at once: her unborn child, and FetusGPT—a LLM trained on nothing but what Sarah hears and says throughout the day.
This includes Seinfeld episodes, YouTube videos about lemurs, eight hours of snoring per night—and even conversations with me, all condensed into MP3 and text files that are used to train the AI.
Because FetusGPT is learning English from such a narrow, idiosyncratic slice of the world, it mostly babbles right now, and if she swears, it picks that up too.
For Sarah, that’s the point of this zany experiment: AI becomes what we teach it, just like young children do—a reminder for anyone who expects brilliance from LLMs without training them thoughtfully.
Sarah is a professional science comedy writer and the founder of @HelloSciCom , a science and technology communications agency. She’s one of the few comedians who uses AI in her process, and I had her on @every’s AI & I to talk about:
- Using AI to be funny, including how @ChatGPTapp has become her "emotional safe place to be weird" when she brainstorms
- Why Sarah sees in using AI even when its output isn’t directly useful
- How she uses AI as a wordsmith, research assistant, and editor to refine creative ideas
- How ChatGPT developed into an unexpected support system as she navigates pregnancy
- Why Sarah is telling everyone to create a ChatGPT project for their health (and how she used one to biohack her energy levels)
This is a must-watch for writers, creatives, and anyone who wants to learn how to get more out of AI.
Watch below!

AI Avenue Episode 2 is here!
AI Can See Clearly Now, but how does it work, and how is it being used?
Come hang out with Craig and Yorick, take a spin in a @Waymo with @Roboflow, go shopping with @BeMyEyes.
It's all happening on aiavenue.show

Brb running to watch S1E1 of AI Avenue.
Can't imagine a funnier, more creative, more thoughtful way to make AI accessible, or a better person than Craig to make it happen
We just launched the first episode of AI Avenue.
In this episode we explore the history of synthetic speech, hang out with people using it, and building it.
What'll it take to get my robot co-host Yorick to talk?
Come hang out with us in London with @elevenlabs to find out

On the first episode of AI Avenue, I got the chance to talk with the brilliant @kwindla who is supporting and building the community who is building AI Voice applications.
With the focus on removing latency, the voice space is accelerating rapidly into our reality.

Yes to this from @HelloSciCom's founder--and an end to techno-pessimism more generally: 'I can use #AI to understand my audience with more empathy and expertise than ever before,' @srsiskind said. 'So there are all these new frontiers of creativity. That really should be emphasized.' Via @DavidOvalle305 in @WashPost washingtonpost.com/health/20…

“Research into how AI programs can augment human creativity is expanding dramatically but doesn’t receive as much attention because of the technology-wary zeitgeist of the public, said Sarah Rose Siskind, a New York-based science and comedy writer who consults with AI companies.
Siskind believes the public needs better education on how to use and think about AI — she created a video on how she uses AI to expand her joke repertoire and reach newer audiences. She said she also has a forthcoming research paper exploring ChatGPT’s usefulness in comedy.
“I can use AI to understand my audience with more empathy and expertise than ever before,” Siskind said. “So there are all these new frontiers of creativity. That really should be emphasized.”
