Fun times getting a booster today in Brooklyn: - appointment: they ran out of boosters, lied to me about having left a voicemail, and sent a cancellation email *after* I left - appointment: the whole pharmacy was closed with no explanation when I arrived

It's astounding how much a well-curated Twitter list will blow away media organizations for keeping up with certain kinds of major news events. P.S. 😍🇺🇦

But seriously, this was the crypto/AI crossover story we've all been waiting for. Occupying the intersection of the two top startup buzzwords, these hackers are definitely ready for a funding round.
