1/ How long do you want to live?
For most of human history, aging was inevitable.
It's now solvable.

@realNathanCheng thank you for hosting LBF day!
Hope we can do a full cohort in Japan soon!

functional recovery of vitrified and nanowarmed human-scale pig kidneys from up to one year at -150 °C
it is increasingly clear that cryopreservation is the single best shot we have at defeating death in our lifetimes

In partnership with Vinod Khosla (@vkhosla), I’m proud to introduce Reservoir.
Billionaires have owned their cells for years. Starting today, you can too.

idea: a fellowship program to reskill disillusioned mathematicians to work on solving bio / aging
Fields medallist Hugo Duminil-Copin was deeply shaken by OpenAI’s release of more than 700 AI-generated mathematical manuscripts, including work on 16 questions directly relevant to his research.

🧵 Biohub, @ENERGY, @NIH, and new funding partners today announced a major expansion of an international effort to generate and make accessible the data enabling predictive AI models of biology. Together, the organizations are investing $1.8 billion in funding, data, computation and new measurement technology - largest coordinated commitment to map the biology of the cell to power development of digital models of biology. bit.ly/3UhjoxD

A universal predictive model of the cell would dramatically accelerate science, allowing biologists to perform experiments digitally. Today we’re announcing a major partnership with the DOE and NIH. The goal of this partnership is to generate the data that will be needed to build an accurate model of the cell with artificial intelligence.
Isomorphic, Google DeepMind, and Meta are joining us as founding partners in the Virtual Biology Initiative. This is the beginning of a large scale coordinated effort to map cellular biology to power the development of digital models of life. Other leading scientific institutions and consortia including the Allen Institute, Broad Institute, Gladstone Institutes, the Human Cell Atlas, the Human Protein Atlas, the Wellcome Sanger Institute, as well as NVIDIA, are working together as part of this international scientific project.
Creating a predictive model of the cell is one of the most important challenges for the next decade of science. The insights that come from this could unlock a far greater understanding of disease, and open new paths for cures.
We invite the worldwide scientific community and other funders to join us in this effort.

We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

PS: they are hiring engineers!
super talented team working on the greatest mission.
@dylanmcguir3 and I just raised a $7.5M pre-seed led by @a16z to build a robotic surgeon @alephsurgery
Much of the early investment in Physical AI has focused on industries where labor is relatively abundant and low-cost. We believe the biggest opportunities to change the world lie at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Surgery is among the most valuable forms of labor on the planet, but it's far too scarce and expensive - due to an exceptionally long training pipeline and highly concentrated expertise.
We’re building the first surgeon that scales: one system that can acquire, refine, and transfer surgical skills across millions of procedures. v1 is already learning to perform surgical tasks autonomously from demonstrations, and improve from its own experience.
Lots of great folks behind us! @BoxGroup, Reveille VC, Constellation, @forward_deploy, @Valkyrie_vc, @DiscipulusVent, @maniacvc + more

great to see @emilkendziorra talking about cryonics on core memory with ashlee vance!
What a fascinating chat with @emilkendziorra on the advances taking place with biostasis/cryopreservation and the quest to live forever.
Dude is a very fun listen.
Full episode here or wherever you get podcasts - corememory.com/p/hes-here-to…
I will be booking my place in Tomorrow Bio's vault with our @brexHQ card because it's that powerful. #brexpartner
Ryan and Dylan McGuire. incredibly cracked founders (and LBF alum) building superhuman ai robotic surgeons. raised 7.5M from a16z. watch these guys!

We’re taking a massive swing at generalizable autonomy in the OR. Solving it means tackling some of the hardest problems at the intersection of robotics and medicine.

Peter Thiel on longevity and if humans could live forever:
"Computers can live forever."
"I wouldn't find it acceptable to be uploaded into a computer program that simulated me. I don't think it would be me."
" I tend to think our identity's very wrapped up in our physical selves."

Today we are publishing a thesis for the era of AIxBIO.
Our call to action to decode female biology and generate the sex-specific biological data.
We propose a new research organization to tackle this challenge.
