After being many kinds of investor (biotech, VC, macro) I have decided to branch out by sharing my unrestrained thoughts on the internet

Biology is likely to undergo a shift like Kuhn describes. Computer science types come into bio and bring their frameworks, without being conscious of how much their thinking is influenced by believing biology is just a ‘more complex computer.’ They’ll say, ‘It’s just like a

A great summary of how you can look at biology bottom up or top down from José, with several thought provoking examples! To add to his conclusion, I think given underlying non-determinism, some things cannot actually be explained correctly with the genetic view alone.

I’ve read this paper in detail. Fascinating stuff. There are several ways to read it. The information in it can be reframed and implies a certain technology. Essays to come next month! Love a systems approach though so congrats to NILO and assume we’ll see results here!

I exist at the nexus of several well-know and less-known groups of Australians in the Bay Area. We are populating the region rapidly and complaining about the coffee at every step. Take note.

Ultra mid take First it was believe them because they are experts, next it was believe them because they are supposedly 150 IQ savants who are above you and ‘don’t lie’ Let us just continue to reformulate versions of ‘don’t bother thinking’ for max societal good
One last point on this whole AI bubble debate. And I’m going to do a bit of glazing so apologies. A common pushback on continuation of scaling laws is that the frontier-lab researchers are likely lying re model progress. I put the probability of them doing so as a group at

Taste is a hat that says thinking
This is how low the epistemic bar is for taste in AI A ‘creative renaissance’ promised in the same breath as ‘cool hat’ People literally switching their stack over some freebies Insane aesthetic bankruptcy

frustrated that the owl wouldn’t follow me, I unfollowed him but still couldn’t help but read the bird’s emotionally manipulative essay which hit a few nerves, including my own radicalisation at 17 after watching the rather torturous slow death of a loved one and thinking quite
Ask not why would you work in biology, but rather: why wouldn't you? https://t.co/7zkdjniFQ9 openai/gemini gave this essay an A- for evocative imagery. claude gave it a C- for being emotionally manipulative. both are probably right. i feel a little sick re-reading it

Rains arriving in the south bay to great relief. There is something to the Taoist concept of knowing things in terms of their opposite, the yin and the yang, and that experience is relative. 6 months without rain is discomforting. You’d think 24/7 sunny days would be

Algorithmic gods, today I say thanks for launching my microinfluencer career. Everyone loves the conscious cabbage. In just the past week, it has graced the feeds of 22 million. More vegetable posting to come. There is life all around us! Nooticers unite!

AI is the rising tide whose increasingly powerful waves will drive demand for the levees of cryptographic tech. For example, compelling DeepFake News AIs (see @OpenAI’s recent work) create a market for zero-knowledge chains of custody between primary sources and stories.
