late to the party on this one - but this is probably the best deep dive on BCI out there. kudos to @satpugnet for such a thoughtful series. it's exciting to see how far the field has come, and to envision the imminent "collision" with AI. if you're an AI researcher or technologist wondering what the next big breakthrough will be after LLMs, look no further. btw we are extremely bullish on BCI at @a16z (both invasive and non-invasive) -- dm me if you're building something cool or want to join one of the teams we've backed. more on that soon :)

The human brain is approaching its ChatGPT moment.

I spent 6 months writing Phase Lock: a manifesto on how brain computer interfaces can help align AI and preserve human agency.

If you only ever read one thing from me, read this.

We’re glad to share our partnership with Bayer to bring Biomni Lab, our frontier AI co-scientist platform, to its scientific research teams. Researchers will harness Biomni Lab’s agentic capabilities to tackle complex scientific questions, accelerate the path from insight to decision, and scale AI-enabled research workflows across the organization.

Phylo is building toward a future where scientists across the world’s leading life science organizations can direct teams of AI agents to drive new discoveries. This partnership represents a significant step toward realizing that vision.

Biopharma is rapidly embracing AI-native drug discovery, which is opening up some interesting new avenues for collaboration.

We @a16z are co-hosting an #SFTechWeek breakfast with @EliLillyandCo to dig into what this looks like in practice.

We’ll hear from leaders at Lilly TuneLab, @insitro, @BigHatBio, Flex Therapeutics, and a16z about how federated learning, biology foundation models, generative design, and closed-loop experimentation can help our industry make better predictions and accelerate drug discovery.

Come hang out with us! @Techweek_ @VanessaBraunst
