2. Despite the lack of metadata in the genetic sequence files @USDA uploaded Sunday, smart scientists have been able to glean some interesting stuff. Like this #H5N1 #birdflu outbreak probably started in late 2023 & is likely more widespread than it appears. statnews.com/2024/04/23/h5n…

1. So much today on the #H5N1 #birdflu story! Just coming up for air. @US_FDA has found genetic evidence of the virus in commercial milk, but so far it sounds like killed virus. More info on where they found it/how prevalent it was would be useful. statnews.com/2024/04/23/h5n…

OpenAI laid me off last Friday. If you know of any open positions for product managers, let me know. I was the PM who made the ChatGPT authentication feature that logged you out every 15 minutes.

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.

“I think we’re in for a hard ride for maybe half a century. Then it will either be the end of civilization or a reborn humanity with a different set of ideas about who we are and where we belong and how we must relate to things in order to survive.” nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Let me summarize for you... Pros: - Revolutionary technology: Generative A.I. has vast implications for people's lives, work, and communication worldwide. - Potential for innovation: A.I. can lead to breakthrough innovations and enhance our nation's economic success. - Streamlined services: A.I. tools can improve the efficiency of various services and industries. - Personalized experiences: A.I. can facilitate targeted services, tailoring them to individual needs and preferences. Cons: - Market dominance: The expanding adoption of A.I. risks further entrenching large incumbent technology firms' control. - Privacy concerns: Developing and deploying A.I. tools may lead to invasive tracking and data exploitation. - Fraud and deception: Generative A.I. can be used to create deep fake content, enabling scams, extortion, and deception on a massive scale. - Automation of discrimination: A.I. tools trained on biased data risk perpetuating and automating discrimination. Specific proposals: - Vigilant enforcement: Regulators must watch for dangers posed by A.I. technologies and promote fair competition to ensure lawful market development. - Apply existing laws: Use existing legal jurisdiction to address issues related to collusion, monopolization, mergers, price discrimination, and unfair competition. - Target upstream firms: Enforce the law's prohibition on deceptive practices not only against scammers but also the upstream firms enabling them. - Uphold privacy and discrimination laws: Ensure that existing laws prohibiting discrimination and exploitative data collection or use are applied in the context of A.I. technologies. - Encourage fair and open competition: Foster an environment that promotes innovation and economic growth without resorting to race-to-the-bottom business models or monopolistic control.

NEW: Shortly before Silicon Valley Bank's collapse, the bank's lobbying groups fought a proposal requiring financial institutions to increase payments into the insurance fund that protects depositors from bank failures. @jul1arock & @davidsirota explain: levernews.com/svbs-lobby-gro…

Many don't realize the importance of Silicon Valley Bank to the economy & the ripple effects coming SVB's failure is the beginning of a domino effect throughout tech & start-ups I've worked in banking for 10+ years so let me explain why you should care & what it means for you:

@Scott_Wiener Yes, extremely hard on Bay Area communities too given that SVB’s Community Benefits Plan, which was announced in 2021, commited $11.2 billion over five years to LMI communities in California and Massachusetts, including $4.8 billion in community development loans and investments
