I have stage 4 cancer. I thought I'd fight it alone.
I was wrong.
Since mid October, ~20 strangers on X have stepped up to help me. All for free so far:
- An NYU Langone lab offered to run my tumor data through their system to sharpen my vaccine targets
- A U Michigan lab offered to test drugs on my actual tumor cells
- A biotech ran AI analysis on my tumor RNA
- A vaccine company offered to design a second vaccine to check the first one
Scientists. Engineers. People I've never met.
Cancer has been picking us off one at a time for all of human history. It counts on us fighting it alone, scared and quiet.
Not anymore.
We have AI. We have the internet. We have each other.
Cancer, we're coming for you, bitch. Buckle up!

Anyone with a laptop and a hundred dollars a month can change the world now. While on holiday.

All those years of refusing to learn Excel, Word and PowerPoint is about to pay off.

I gave Fable 5.2 a PDF of one of Leonardo da Vinci’s 500-year-old notebooks and it made his inventions real for me to interact with.
Such an exciting time for education. Anything from history that’s been stuck on a page can now be something you explore.

If there is one thing the AI revolution has taught me, it’s that 99% of people cannot extrapolate. At all. Quite literally people cannot imagine or visualize progress or changes beyond the current state. Complete inability to predict the future.
