Ever since I printed my CEO business card in 2012, I’ve read it as “Chief Emotional Officer”, because sooner or later every conflict lands on your desk

Y Combinator's 2024 request for startups:

@BillGates highlights progress on global health, climate, malnutrition, yet one problem looms: misinformation. Amplified online, worsened by AI, it spreads harm before rebuttal. Tech minds, web3 gurus, philosophers—any solutions? Worldcoin? Superintelligence? Your bet?

@KianSadeghi5 @nucleusgenomics @23andMe Please do. People need that

Today, I'm announcing that @nucleusgenomics is considering the possibility of making a public offer to acquire @23andMe, contingent on financing, as well as initiating and executing a successful negotiation. Our goal would be simple: Revitalize consumer health care with rapid innovation, security, and value. Across the industry today, there is arguably no company in as strong of a position as Nucleus to deliver on this goal. Just like the collapses of Blackberry, Myspace, and Blockbuster didn’t signal the end of smartphones, social media, and streaming, the collapse of 23andMe is an opportunity for Nucleus to deliver genetics to more customers than ever. Americans today spend over $450 billion dollars on wellness products — which includes health as one of its key tenets — annually, and nearly one in three track their health with smart watches or other wearables. Why isn’t DNA part of this picture? First-generation genetics companies, including 23andMe, failed to evolve with modern technology and transparency practices. If Nucleus were to acquire 23andMe, it would clear the way for us to double down on our three key values, combining the clinical-grade quality we deliver with 23andMe’s existing consumer reach to provide widespread, seamless access to innovative genetic technology — exponentially faster. I will continue to update customers and stakeholders on this exploration. nucleusgenomics.substack.com/p/nucleus-geno…

@peterrhague I did see the landing coverage on the front page in the main section earlier today. In fact, I went there today only to check a summarised update on the launch, as I missed it live. But in general I agree with you: their app continues to send me ‘very important’ homicide news etc

I can't blame the Guardian for not covering SpaceX outside a single wire article - they are a serious newspaper, focused on much more important issues

Came across the Mensarius Oath while exploring FI educational programs. lnkd.in/eVDtARrT It is sort of like Hippocrates' Oath, but for investment professionals. I fully support that and think we need more ethical investments in the future.

What feature do you wish your Apple Health app had?

I've been drinking so much @TwiningsUK "Immune Support" I must be immortal by now.

And it's just the beginning of a greater story.

A weird bright side of being sick: I got to know some AI in 'real' healthcare (@NHS) after years of working on the preventative side of health tech and AI. There is hope there, I confess, but I hope that #MedPaLM or similar will augment all doctors very soon.

I think this is the first time I have seen a push notification from an app suggesting deleting itself. S - sustainability!

Sometimes, you read X, and the world seems doomed. But at other times, I reminisce @lexfridman's "I love you all", and as much as it sounds naïve, it is also very powerful. These words inspire me big time.

@Google is worried about that when you google 'AI', you find a bunch of glowing brains. So they collaborated with human artists to visualise AI in a better way. Enjoy deepmind.google/discover/visua…

I still like @VaclavSmil books, and I love this curve. To me, his idea is about the inherent challenges rather than suggesting an imminent doomsday. His POV underlines the need to understand energy transitions w/o succumbing to overly simplistic or overly pessimistic viewpoints.
