Accurate early detection blood test for cancer is going to be one of the most fundamental breakthroughs of our generation. Within a few years, we will detect cancer at the earliest points when it can be cured: cnbc.com/amp/2020/02/01… @freenome @MichaelPellini @AmericanCancer

"There are no bad ideas in tech, only bad timing"
My partner @jeff_jordan makes the case the time is right for @neighborstorage, the Airbnb of storage.

In China, researchers took a social chatbot and enrolled it in university. The result? A published author, fine artist, and MFA recipient (and she can write your annual finance report, too)! bit.ly/2TuubD4 pic.twitter.com/4ryDxuU8z3

I talk with @smc90 about American AI Initiative as well as a recent government export restriction on a specific type of AI-inside software (and how it's not like the broad encryption export restrictions from Internet 1.0 days) on latest @a16z 16 Minutes podcast twitter.com/a16z/status/12…

As a former product & UX person, I found this talk on how to actually gamify your product fascinating.
Deeply counterintuitive but thought-provoking: when & how to make it _harder_ to keep it challenging. twitter.com/a16z/status/12…

Can we turn drug discovery ("where are thou?") to engineering ("continuous process improvement")? Thrilled to join @EQRxINC to help make it so. My partner @JorgeCondeBio explains:
