Looking forward to this one! Should be a good conversation @PacificForum @JohnEvans1988 @USPACOM pacforum.org/event/honolulu-…

seeing the team grow from a corner in a small office to raising a billion dollars in less than a year makes me so optimistic for where we’re going to be next year (and the many years after). currently in-flight :)
We’ve spent the past year developing new primitives for GPUs. We believe this enables new algorithms to change how machines learn, open new markets, and dramatically reshape AI’s cost structure.
We have raised a $1 billion Series A, co-led by Index and Lux.
So great to see!
Honored to deepen our partnership with the Flappy family, and for @Lux_Capital to co-lead this next chapter in unlocking radical breakthroughs in efficiency of intelligence.
It has been a pleasure getting to know @spectorb @amspector100 & @aidanmantine more deeply, and witnessing them continue to raise their level of ambition every time we meet.

Friendly reminder: the world is run by high agency people, not smart people. Stop consuming information and start taking insane levels of action.

1/#AI is lowering the barriers to biological threats, but it can also help us detect them before they spread
Next #HIF: "AI, Biodefense & the Future of Biological Threat Detection" with Lt. Gen. @JohnEvans1988 (Ret.), who led the DoD's COVID response, @ValthosTech Drosten Fisher

Some see tech's boom/bust cycle as a bug
I think it's actually a feature, hype drives the industry to irrationally try to reinvent the world every 5 yrs
This worked fine for the past 50 years
But now for the first time tech hype is like 3% of US GDP so... bust could be rougher

In the last few weeks, awareness of the gap between AI risks and biological defense has grown significantly, but there has been less discussion of how to close it.
Closing that gap requires building a new technical stack for biodefense. We wanted to start breaking down that stack into concrete engineering problems - and outline what capabilities can solve them.
