#paperclip now has a public repo! You can request features and discuss issues here github.com/GXL-ai/papercl…

When I first met @paulscherer I was struck by his intellect, values, and vision for how technology can help bring people together in a time of extreme hyper-personalization. I've long believed one of the most important consumer opportunities in AI would be something that felt like a friend. But most of what I saw created more loneliness, not less. Paul’s vision for @eigenhq is the first in this category that felt truly different. This was something our team needed to be a part of, and @Benchmark is proud to partner with Paul on this journey.

AI agents perform better when they access tools they love. Introducing @gxl_ai's Paperclip: the command-line interface for scientific literature. gxl.ai/blog/paperclip

The dog cancer vaccine has been all over X the past few days. It got me thinking about other famous N-of-1 experiments. As you can probably imagine, self-experimentation has a long, wild history in science. Here are some of the most notable. 🧵

@chrisfralic @firstround @joshk @HLMorgan I don't know you personally, but have always heard good things. You seem like an incredible board member that any founder would be lucky to have in their corner. Happy Work Anniversary!

It was 20 years ago today... I started working for @firstround. Thanks to @joshk for bringing me into the tiny firm he and @HLMorgan founded. It's been the role of a lifetime, and I appreciated this piece Josh wrote back when I shifted to board partner. firstround.com/news/a-selfles…

There's no shortage of AI + drug discovery conferences telling you the future is already here. UNLOCK was built for the people who want to know what's actually true. @genentech, @PalantirTech, @AnthropicAI, @abbvie @medra_ai, and more. One room. April 22 · SF unlockscience.ai

Last fall, I was pulled by the irresistible urge to build again, especially with a cofounder like @james_y_zou. We started a company and lab called GXL and we'll announce more about that collaboration soon! In the meantime, our founding team has built a compelling tool for biomedical researchers called "Sy" that all are free to use with the condition that you send us feedback. See below for more details and happy synthesizing!

@andrewparker Fair. Guess especially when the exit drains are clogged.

@cklemke Time allocation by some of the best Sand Hill firms can be ruthless

A metric I would love to see. Ranking of attendance at board mtgs by VC firm. The data exists: the law firms have it in the aggregate minutes. Note! this isn't even qualitative. It's not "are you a good board member"... it's just, "do you even bother to show up"? ...low bar...

⚡️Thrilled that #VirtualLab is published in @Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… We created a team of AI agents to mirror my Stanford lab🤖. Led by a PI agent, the AI scientists ran their own group meetings and discovered effective binders to new CoVID variants that we validated. The Virtual Lab is open source and can be applied to many problems! github.com/zou-group/virt… 👏Great job @KyleWSwanson John Pak, Wes Wu, Nash Bulaong @czbiohub @StanfordAILab @StanfordHAI

🏆Thrilled that #CollabLLM won the #ICML2025 Outstanding Paper Award! We propose a new approach to optimize human-AI collaboration, which is critical for agents. Congratulations to my fantastic co-authors; great job @ShirleyYXWu and Michel Galley driving the project!👏

@MGalvosas Abridge for one of many. If Open Evidence had a shorter name, they would probably have a brand like Kleenex at this point.

Every tech company talks about changing the world. In the segment of health tech startups - who are the only ones actually succeeding?

@chrissyfarr Happy Birthday!!!

Omg today I’m 36! 🥳

@drgurner @halletecco This! 👆

@halletecco Go to puppy training classes beyond the regular "puppy course," do the "homework," and you'll have a well-mannered dog for life. I did this with a former dog - did classes for almost a year, and she was an *incredible* dog for the next 14 years of her life. Invest up front.

@jacobbrody 😂😂😂

@cklemke It's already been built :)

@ilyasu @sarahtavel He and I placed flowers at the doorstep of a Chabad a few doors down on Oct 8th. I explained that something bad had happened (no details) and we wanted to show our support.

My five year old came home Friday, saw a Star of David I had put up on our window facing the street, ripped it down and tried to throw it out. This is a kid who used to be proud of being Jewish. Who asked to put a mezuzah on our door. "I don't want to be Jewish!" "It's bad to be Jewish." It was a hard night. I racked my brain - did someone say something? did he hear something? And then my wife and I realized, he'd internalized that people had attacked and killed Jews for being Jews. Which meant, being a Jew was... dangerous. And what we see in these tiny moments of antisemitism, which too many people now feel not just justified but righteous in expressing, is that he isn't wrong. As the war and infowar continue (remarkable to me we are still parroting Hamas-reported data as fact everywhere), the inevitable and scary thing is that right now, it feels like this is going to get a lot worse before we have a chance of it getting better.

@saranormous Aren’t they figuring out what to do with Westfield mall? ;)

Can we build a sphere in SF

Great thread, but especially this part.

@chrissyfarr Yikes! Sending you well wishes!

Wow first health conference where I’ve landed in the ER and got to experience actual health care versus just talking about it. Nothing super serious - cellulitis, combined with a viral infection. But important to get it treated.
