When your former assistant crushes it. @SuhasforVA has always been the real deal
The campaign is over, but the work is just beginning. I look forward to working with our community to deliver change in Washington.

And people wonder why the world is turning against big tech. I get that it is hard to separate these products. But this is bait and switch

DJ captures an important aspect of the cybersecurity moment we are in right now—the threats are fast-changing, multifaceted, and multiactor, going after everyone from your grandmother to your water system…

A new cybersecurity era has already begun. @dpatil captures the change well as always.

This is excellent advice
My advice to college students who are confused about what it means to “have agency”: keep an agency journal. Practice deciding you want something, think about what it would take to get it, and then spend time trying to get it. It can start very small but the deliberate practice can be very helpful.

I have been trying to convince DJ to release this secret cybersecurity memo for the last few weeks and I’m glad he’s making it public here!

Special shoutout to my security peeps for helpful conversations and challenging me. Also thanks to @jamescham for pushing me to publish this rather than keeping it as a doc that has been making it's way around.

One of the all time greats. Thank you @SirPatStew for all the inspiration. May we all move at warp speed

At Glowforge, I get to help people make beautiful things. My dear friend @dpatil cofounded Warp Sciences to make new medicines. He wins. I'm so grateful to be an investor and get to be a small part of this journey.
💥 Introducing Warp Sciences, a new company applying AI and robotics to help the world develop new medicines faster. We’ve raised a $215M Series A led by @lightspeedvp to bring frontier AI out of the browser and into the lab, and build scientific capacity here in America. I co-founded Warp with my long-time friend @dpatil, FAIR co-founder @manohar_paluri, and drug hunter Sol Reisberg. The early team is full of incredible people like @bkspears9, who helped achieve Q>1 fusion at LLNL.

The future of AI-driven science won’t just be about designing better molecules, but building the infrastructure to actually make and test them at scale. That’s what we’re building at @warpsciences

Such an incredible team and big win for Meta
Today, we're announcing that Sundial has been acquired by @Meta!  Chandra Narayanan and I are joining along with some other incredible members of our team.  Nearly six years ago, Chandra and I started Sundial with two core beliefs: 1) better decisions come from using data well, and 2) great things come from working on hard problems with people you like. Sundial automated away many of the obstacles involved in getting to meaningful analysis (Cleaning data! Creating semantic layers! Writing SQL! Storytelling!), and we were proud to support some of the fastest-growing AI companies from OpenAI to Gamma. We started before the AI wave and rebuilt ourselves to be AI-native. We raised our first round when interest rates were near zero, and our Series A when they were the highest in two decades. We watched customers hyperscale and then close shop, new grads grow into leaders, and software development change completely.  Entrepreneurship has been my dream since college, when I first took a class on start-ups (shoutout Mayfield Fellows!). I wish I'd been brave enough sooner because there’s no better way to learn how the world works and who you really are than betting on yourself to launch a business. Meta is my former home and where I learned product and design. It's also one of the most analytically rigorous places on the planet. So many of Sundial's values came from there: questioning assumptions, diagnosing with data, owning the user’s experience. I'm thrilled to bring what we've learned to the place where it all started and continue our mission of improving the quality and velocity of business decisions with people we like. To Team Sundial past and present, THANK YOU thank you thank you. You created that special feeling within our team, and I bask in the memories of having walked those lush miles and eaten those breakfast dosas with you. To our investors and supporters especially @dpatil, David Fischer + the whole 01A advisors team, @mvernal, @sequoia: how did we get so lucky to have your counsel and support? And to my beloved @mikesego and kiddos: I could not have made it without you.   These have been some of the hardest, most humbling, and most alive years of my life. I hope I'm wiser for it and will have many chances to pay it forward!  axios.com/2026/10/23/meta-ai…

RSI for drug development! Warp Sciences is automating preclinical research by combining robotics with frontier AI. This creates a recursive feedback loop between data and models to accelerate drug development. Huge congratulations on the launch!

I’ve known Kevin and DJ for over a decade and worked for DJ at LinkedIn. Excited for @warpsciences: tighter OODA loops for science. AI helps plan experiments, robots execute, results improve the models. Faster cycles of observing, orienting, deciding, and acting to discover new medicines. 🚀

AI has made its biggest jumps where there's a deep pool of data to train on. AI in healthcare could have an incredible impact on humanity, but that data doesn't exist yet. It has to be produced in wet labs. That makes lab space the new compute: the more of it you build, the faster discovery moves. @kevinweil and @dpatil have pulled together an incredible team of scientists, roboticists and researchers at Warp to go after it. Kevin is one of my oldest friends from our Twitter days and one of the smartest, kindest, most capable people I've ever met. Excited to see what they build and the impact it will have on the world. Onward!
