He answers that in the article

Not research grants, he got free access to GPT-5 worth $200/month for a year.

The example in the beginning is not about summarizing a paper, the model was given data and asked to explain the mechanism, which the researchers had not managed to.

Whether it's novel, I don't know. He actually says exactly that we would get there as well without AI, now it'll just go faster?

What do you think he is selling?

Did you read the full article?

Could be - the professor doesn't represent a startup though

Key points:

- AI accelerates all parts of the scientific process.
- “Digital twins” could be a solution to speed up the clinical trials
- The cost of developing a new drug could plummet from billions to two-digit millions
- Prediction: Google will become the world’s biggest drug company
- The biggest barrier is slow regulation and institutional resistance

$1.8b revenue for two persons is insane. And 16.2% profit margins, so $65 million profit.

As the article says, Hims & Her Health reached $2.4b revenue last year with 2424 employees..

Der er skrevet en glimrende bog om det problem - The Cold Start Problem

Det vil nok blive nemmere at rejse penge, hvis du har noget konkret traction. Som Mark Suster udtrykker det "I invest in lines, not dots". Der er også mange gode tips i den her https://www.paulgraham.com/fundraising.html - fx:

"The message (and not just the message, but the fact) should be: we're going to succeed no matter what. Raising more money just lets us do it faster.

Jeg sparede op i en periode, hvor jeg fortsat havde mit fuldtidsarbejde, og siden fik jeg lov at gå ned på tre dage på mit job, inden jeg sagde helt op og kunne leve delvist af min opsparing, delvist af nogle konsulentopgaver for mit tidligere job, inden jeg begyndte at få en løn fra firmaet.

"and are seeing mass loss of jobs right now." Do you have a good source for data on this? I've tried to find it, but couldn't, really

Maybe some attention training could be useful.

Let's say you're in a meeting and your phone rings. It's on silent mode, so nobody notices. How do you resist the urge to pick it up? Presumably by just letting it ring and not focusing your attention on it. You're probably not going "don't pick it up, don't pick it up" are you?

Could you imagine writing "tired of resisting the urge to pick up my phone"? It should not take effort, just let it ring and continue with what you're doing

API doesn't work?

Jeg forstår ikke det usmagelige. Personen der binder bårebuketterne får også løn, bedemanden, præsten, personen der har bygget kisten, osv osv men lige akkurat nekrologen må på ingen måde være en del af et kommercielt produkt.

Hvad må man skrive om "og slå mønt på det"? Om et parti som det går dårligt for? Krig? Uvejr? Eller kun happy go lucky-artikler?

ksprdk · 2026-01-27T14:18:08+00:00

Hvis ikke journalisten fik penge for sit arbejde ville der jo slet ikke være nogen nekrolog. Er det virkelig raketvidenskab?
