Everyone acting like gold is about to become worthless lol. Scientists have been turning mercury into gold since the 1940s. The breakthrough isn’t making gold, it’s making it cheap enough to matter.

the kid in me who watched Tony Stark would absolutely lose her mind over this. from imagining the future on screen to building a piece of it in real life. @specs x Robert Downey Jr.

It's time to solve one of the biggest challenges in vision-language models. Today's multimodal models can look at a biomedical image and give a convincing, sometimes correct, answer without actually understanding what they're seeing. A model might answer the medical question correctly while failing to identify basic visual context like the imaging modality, body part, specimen, or stain. So, I'm teaming up with Stanford to solve this problem. You should too. The MMBU Challenge tests whether models can actually recognize, localize, and understand what is in biomedical images, not just arrive at the right answer. 🏆 3 tracks 💻 $100K+ in compute and prizes 📅 Oct 1 to Dec 31 ⏰ Registration closes today

you can be grateful for everything you have and still want an entirely different life. ambition and gratitude aren't mutually exclusive.

i have a theory that the best startup ideas come from being irrationally annoyed by something everyone else has learned to tolerate.

having a tech "week" in SF is like having a Catholic week at the Vatican

some of the most interesting people i've met have had completely nonlinear careers. i think we're going to see a lot more of that as AI changes what skills are valuable.

there’s a certain kind of confidence that only comes from knowing you can lose everything and still figure out how to rebuild.

the next big unlock in AI isn’t another chatbot that can answer harder questions. it’s a system that remembers what matters to you and can act on that context.
