4/ AI isn't eating the world due to transformers, but because it unlocked the world's richest dataset: human experience encoded in language. Our last human trial showed that the quantitative experience<>biology link runs through psychoactives. Excited to scale with Graeme.

3/ Consensus on agentic R&D in 2024: hallucinating chatbots summarize papers but arenβt for real science. Scientific reasoning β math. Graeme was scaling AI scientists into production when the S-curve flipped. Bio is now deploying validation-layered agents across R&D functions.
