Great column, Jeff! Very interesting. Since no one has any idea what the actual effect AI is going to have on the world, information and research like this is great. Keep up the good work!

Thank you John. AI is pretty unavoidable but I’m not a fan. It wants to do my writing for me but I won’t let it.

This is razor sharp analysis. The irony of pharma companies hoarding their failure data while simultanously investing billions in AI is exactly the kind of self-sabotage nobody talks about. Back when I worked adjacent to biotech, this proprietary mindset was like religion and its wild to see how directly it contradicts the entire premise of machine lerning. The failures probably contain way more signal than the successes anyway.
