The AI Revolution in Cancer:
Grab your musket & don't wait for a silver bullet.

Ask any AI frontier lab leader what AI will do for humanity and "cure cancer" tops every list.

The image is always the same: miracle drugs. That's not how it's actually playing out.

As we scale intelligence, perhaps it becomes optimal to de-scale organizations to get the greatest impact.

Finally another narrative than 'bigger is better' ... 👏👏👏 @gradypb

It is mind-boggling when companies build an amazing product and fuck it up disrespecting customers on ticky-tacky shit.

Getting a @Tesla Y with FSD is the first iPhone-level moment I had with tech in a decade - only to waste hours of my time on a $5 defective roof rack part.

The question is no longer whether cancer vaccines can work. It’s whether our system can get them to patients.

Thanks to @statnews for publishing the op-ed I co-authored with @DrKarenKnudsen, CEO of the @parkerici on the subject.

www.statnews.com Cancer vaccines are finally here. How do we get them to patients? “If we want cancer vaccines to reach patients faster than BRCA testing did, there are several challenges to address now,” write Karen E. Knudsen and Othman Laraki.

Congrats @kevinweil, @dpatil and the @warpsciences team!

Every AI-for-science bet eventually hits the same wall: going from moving bits to moving atoms. Cutting the latency of that atom-moving loop - automated labs that learn from every run - changes the economics of entire industries. And building this in the US matters for national security as much as for the people developing new medicines.

Can’t imagine a better crew to make this happen 🦾

💥 Introducing Warp Sciences, a new company applying AI and robotics to help the world develop new medicines faster.

We’ve raised a $215M Series A led by @lightspeedvp to bring frontier AI out of the browser and into the lab, and build scientific capacity here in America.

I co-founded Warp with my long-time friend @dpatil, FAIR co-founder @manohar_paluri, and drug hunter Sol Reisberg. The early team is full of incredible people like @bkspears9, who helped achieve Q>1 fusion at LLNL.
