@chuck_shumer, this is the moment to stand up for Americans with courage and conviction. Please grow a backbone and fight for the people you represent. Enough excuses. Do your job.

I learned a long time ago that real power comes from knowing the kind of life you want to build for yourself, not from buying into other people’s expectations of how you should live.

A good mattress is under rated. 🧘‍♀️

@LiannaAdams Truth! I'm a highly sensitive person so this hits home for me.

AI is accelerating the world. 🔸But the human nervous system still runs on biology, not algorithms. 🔸When information moves faster than cognition, stress follows. The future of AI must include mental health design. 🔹Progress without well-being is just acceleration toward burnout.

We DO NOT have unlimited resources. Idiocracy has to be STOPPED!

@BrendanCarrFCC Feels like I'm living in a North Korra zone!

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

@marksbury @AZStormChase I can tell you from someone who lives West of Colorado Springs, this is not NORMAL.

@AZStormChase I grew up in Florida, where it's normal to turn the AC back on in January or February. But everyone in Colorado is telling me this is too warm. There's hardly any snow on the Western Slope.🤔

This is so absurd. This model run has the Western US heatwave peaking just shy of a 600DM ridge. That’s about the strongest ridge that the region has ever seen even in the middle of summer. This is not normal.

@aakashgupta Biohacking is real. I lost my husband to cancer 2 years ago. Following traditional treatments is what killed him, not the cancer. If I ever get cancer, I would NOT follow the standard of care treatments, I would prefer to do take back control. Kudos to you 👏

A tech consultant in Sydney spent $3,000 and two months to do what Moderna has spent billions trying to scale. Paul Conyngham adopted Rosie, a staffy-Shar Pei cross, from a shelter in 2019. In 2024, tumors started growing on her back leg. Mast cell cancer, the most common skin cancer in dogs. He tried surgery, chemo, immunotherapy. Nothing shrank the tumors. Just slowed them down while the bills stacked into the tens of thousands. So he opened ChatGPT and asked it how to cure his dog’s cancer. The AI didn’t cure anything. What it did was compress months of literature review into hours. It suggested genomic sequencing, walked him through neoantigen identification, helped him build a research pipeline that would normally require a postdoc and a lab budget. He paid $3,000 to sequence Rosie’s tumor DNA at UNSW’s Ramaciotti Centre, then ran the mutations through AlphaFold to model the protein structures. A computational biology professor at UNSW saw his analysis and was, in his own words, gobsmacked that someone with zero biology training had assembled the whole thing. Then came the part nobody expects. The science was the easy half. Australian ethics approval to run a drug trial on your own pet took three months. Two hours every night after work, filling out a 100-page application. The red tape was harder than designing the vaccine. Once he cleared that, Páll Thordarson at the UNSW RNA Institute built a custom mRNA vaccine from Conyngham’s data. Sequencing to finished vaccine: less than two months. Conyngham drove 10 hours to deliver Rosie for her first injection in December. One month later, the tennis-ball-sized tumor on her leg had shrunk 75%. Here’s where the numbers get interesting. Moderna and Merck just reported five-year data on their personalized mRNA cancer vaccine for melanoma. It encodes up to 34 neoantigens per patient. The Phase III trial is fully enrolled. Projected cost per patient: $100,000 to $300,000. Their pipeline is worth an estimated $2.3 billion in annual sales by 2031. Conyngham did a version of the same workflow for his dog. Sequenced the tumor. Identified the neoantigens. Built a custom mRNA construct. Total cost: $3,000 for sequencing plus university lab time. The gap between those two numbers is where AI is about to rearrange the entire cost structure of precision medicine. The regulatory moat is real. Conyngham could do this because veterinary experimental treatments face lighter scrutiny than human medicine. There’s no FDA Phase I-III gauntlet for a one-off compassionate use case on a dog. But the technical workflow, tumor sequencing to neoantigen prediction to mRNA synthesis, is converging toward something a motivated person with the right AI tools can orchestrate in weeks instead of years. One guy, a rescue dog, and a $20/month ChatGPT subscription just produced a proof of concept that the pharmaceutical industry has spent a decade and billions of dollars building toward. The vaccine worked. The tumor shrank. And the only reason it happened is because a dog owner loved his dog enough to spend three months fighting paperwork.

@TrevorCarman2 Thanks Trevor, we will have stories. Lol

@vlaneART Wishing you well 🙏🏼

I'm in Wisconsin with my MIL, we're ready for the snowpocalypse. I'll keep everyone posted on snow totals.

Trust in synthetic intelligence is a DESIGN outcome. Not a feature.

@mandolinaes True, but you don't need to be "present" to promote your work.

A lot of artists didn’t stop creating. They just stopped trying to be visible. There’s a point where you realize the energy required to stay “present” is bigger than the energy needed to make the work 😔 and something in you decides the work still matters more

The future of AI is not going to be a utopia. And it is not going to be a dystopia either. It will reflect the systems, incentives, boundaries, and assumptions we build into it. 🧵 8/9

I just published a new piece on the future of AI. AI’s Future: It’s Not a Utopia or a Dystopia A lot of what is being promoted now assumes the future of synthetic intelligence will be always-on, conversational, companion-like, and increasingly intrusive. 🧵1/9
