At its core, the problem Anthropic has is you can't let leadership be made up of True-Believer Rationalists if you want your AI company to somehow make money.

Ah, cool, guess better things aren't possible

EA's launcher will do this, too.

NIH has wanted to more strongly regulate "effort" in several ways for years, so this newest attempt can't solely be blamed on "orange man bad" unfortunately

All of them except Betty did what the Families demanded of them

The CA Dem party should punish all these people because this should never be allowed to happen again

Im sorry you were traumatized by Vinod falling asleep in your meeting. But he founded one of the pioneering companies of the modern computer industry (Eric Schmidt worked for him there), has the highest ever multiple and IRR at exit in Kleiner Perkins history ($7B return on $3M invested in only 3 years) and while everyone was investing in SaaS throughout the 2010s, Vinod was funding the first round of companies building battery tech, rocket launch, fusion, genomics, carbon tech and a little AI research lab called OpenAI. And he did this while hitting grand slams and raising multi billion dollar funds. He is one of the truest VCs to ever do it.

No one's gonna pay an undergrad or a fresh master's student 150k in a field filled to the brim with PhDs (especially when all the PhDs are desperately trying to get any job)
The high end of biotech talent is so insanely underpaid it’s sickening. $150k for an RA is basically unheard of, but that’s entry level for the elite in any industry that’s serious

Good time to remember that the "biosecurity" people are scam artists and grifters
I am excited to share this today –– we have been working on this for a long time.
Nuclear material is regulated. Bioweapons are easier to make, don’t emit traceable radiation, and self-propagate for unprecedented destruction.
This should be common sense, bipartisan national security legislation.
Thank you to all who signed, including @PeterDiamandis, @deanwball, @ATabarrok, @kath_mcmahon, and @kesvelt.

No matter how much the VCs try to hype up NewLimit, no matter how many techbro-style progress report blog Jacob attempts to write, NewLimit will remain a poorly thought-out partial reprogramming also ran whose likely main purpose is a tax dodge for the weirdo that runs Coinbase

An @endpts exclusive: @RepMoolenaar and @RepDebDingell will unveil a bill later today that adds biotech to the outbound investment screening list via the COINS Act. In a statement, Moolenaar called recent Pfizer and BMS pacts "dangerous deals." endpoints.news/citing-danger…

Remember, big pharma should be bag holders for US VCs, not Chinese ones!

1/ US biotech is in crisis, right before AI should be saving millions.
China is stealing away our industry and has surpassed the US in blockbuster pharma deals.
The next FDA Commissioner must be a fighter, and have a plan to overhaul the agency, beat China, and unleash cures.

Hoover Institute is all one really needs to know about him.

What the biotech brosephs fail to understand is that there is functionally only one way to "save" US biotech in the manner they want: interest rates go to zero again. Warsh will absolutely try to do this for unrelated reasons and it will straightup destroy the US economy

It's really cool that all the usual biotech grifter suspects are insanely delusional now.
"To stop China, we must become Russia"
"Biotech isn't a ZIRP! IT'S NOT!"
"US patients have to pay high prices; otherwise the companies that aren't hiring anyone won't hire anyone!"

It is...difficult to make the case that someone shouldn't lose funding now for doing essentially no work because they did important work years and years ago.

That's because biotech in the US is a ZIRP

bleak that the primary people who are worried about chinese biotech are people who actually work in the field, and everyone telling them to chill out are either VC’s or journalists

If the DP5 was actually about being aspirational towards science instead of what it's actually about, there wouldn't have been a limit of 2 applications per institution per call

This is a horrifically dumb take even for @BiotechMongoose.
Even when the odds are long, and not in your favor, these awards matter. They give young scientists ambitious, almost impossible goals to aim for. Their impact is not only on the few people who win, but on everyone who stretches toward that standard, pushing science forward. When these opportunities disappear, so do the aspirations they inspire.

For those of you early in your careers or those of you that couldn't grasp how to play nice in a department that had gotten kinda sick of who you're associated with, "high-risk, high-reward" is NIH-speak for "only big names, BSDs and the well-connected need apply"
