  • Changing the narrative!

    Just finished the Dr. David Fajgenbaum episode and… wow! What an extraordinary human being. Had tears in my eyes and butterflies in my stomach listening to how much “human good” AI is creating — thanks to people like you, enabling people like David. Refreshing to hear Possible’s focus on AI’s promise instead of playing defense.
