Super interesting idea -- a conference where AI is both the authors and reviewers. Curious to see where it goes @james_y_zou .
But you know, the ultimate would be where the AI is also the organizers :-)

📢New conference where AI is the primary author and reviewer!
Current venues don't allow AI-written papers, so it's hard to assess the +/- of such works🤔 #Agents4Science solicits papers where AI is the main author w/ human advisors.
💡Initial reviews by LLM reviewers w/ final assessment + selection by human experts.
💡Submissions are asked to clearly document AI contribution.
💡All submissions/reviews will be public to enable transparent study of the strength and limitations of AI as researcher and reviewer.
We expect AI will make mistakes and it will be instructive to study these in the open!
Many thanks to the fantastic co-organizers and expert advisory board! Please see the website for more information.

This email from Thiel is clearly old but even more poignant today for NYC of course.
I suspect this will take on a cyclical nature: NYC may be entering into what SF was a few years ago, with ideas of being more permissive on crime and more socialist leanings.
But that will inevitably go very poorly with elevated crime, etc, and eventually people will elect more centrist candidates (eg see SF now), which will bring back the previous ways -- just to the point where everything heals just enough for the next socialist candidate to come in.

Peter Thiel on why 70% of Millennials say they are pro-socialist:
“When one has too much student debt or if housing is too unaffordable, then one will have negative capital for a long time… and if one has no stake in the capitalist system, then one may well turn against it.”

A Personal Update
By Vijay Pande
Today, I’m sharing that after more than a decade, it’s both exciting and bittersweet that I’ll be stepping away from my role at Andreessen Horowitz. This has been one of the most meaningful chapters of my life, and I’m filled with gratitude as I reflect on the journey.
I joined @a16z in 2014 as a Professor-in-Residence, just coming off my time as chair of Biophysics and Henry Dreyfus Professor of Chemistry at Stanford. What started as an observation that tech companies are poised to make major impacts in Bio and Health quickly evolved into something much larger: my founding of the a16z Bio + Health fund, a new strategy at the intersection of AI, computation, and biology — and the chance to build an investing platform from the ground up.
I’m also proud not only of the companies I’ve backed — including Devoted Health, Function Health, Insitro, Freenome— but also of the team I built to carry this vision forward. What began as a speculative bet became a thriving and deeply mission-driven practice, thanks to the people who believed in it and helped shape it every step of the way.
This transition could not have been possible without the incredible people I’ve worked with:
● I want to thank Marc and Ben for taking a bet on me—and on the idea that biology could be engineered, and that venture capital had a role to play in building that future. Their support and belief shaped everything that followed. We should all be proud of the impact we’ve had shaping the future of health.
● I’m deeply grateful to the team I’ve helped build in the Bio + Health practice: Jorge Conde, Julie Yoo, and Vineeta Agarwala. It’s been an honor to work alongside them to build this platform from the ground up. I’ve had the privilege of mentoring Vineeta since her days at Stanford, and I could not be prouder of the leader she’s become.
● To our founders, thank you for your courage, your brilliance, and your trust. Your creativity, commitment and energy to building what we all know is possible is nothing short of inspiring and contagious. You’ve challenged me, inspired me and reminded me why this work matters so much. It’s been one of the greatest privileges of my career to support you.
● To our limited partners, thank you for believing in this vision and making it possible to pursue it with long-term conviction.
Though I’m stepping away from the firm, I’m not stepping away from the cause. If anything, I feel more energized than ever about the future of bio + health. Writing the next chapter of the playbook in healthcare will require a deep imagination, more cross-disciplinary collaboration, and a willingness to build boldly—and I look forward to being part of that in new ways.
Some of you may remember a talk I gave called Disrupt Yourself — and true to that message, I’m doing just that. I’m heading into a new chapter focused on the future of AI, healthcare, and prevention.
With deep gratitude,
Vijay Pande

"Big Food’s Big Tobacco moment" - @ariannahuff
"We are entering Big Food’s Big Tobacco moment. The fight to hold tobacco companies ... culminated in a 1998 $206 billion settlement ...
Is that where Big Food is headed?"
1/

Arianna Huffington22.5.2025
Big Food is entering its Big Tobacco moment.
Just as the tobacco industry was finally held accountable for the health effects and associated healthcare costs of smoking, a reckoning is happening for the food industry for its role in an epidemic of diet-related diseases.
Like tobacco, ultra-processed foods and sugary drinks are a health disaster. And in fact, many of them were developed with the same science when tobacco companies owned several of the big food companies in the 1980s. And the playbook defending them is also the same. As one expert put it: “Deny, denounce, and delay.”
But as with tobacco, change is coming. Lawsuits have begun. Public awareness is growing. Companies are scrambling to diversify with healthier brands. And the science is unequivocal: ultra-processed foods are driving chronic disease, early death, and enormous healthcare costs.
It’s time to act on the science and help people live longer, healthier lives.

Congratulations @drmarkhyman !

Mark Hyman, M.D.9.5.2025
I’m honored to be named to the TIME100 Health list for 2025.
But what this really signals is the shift you’re driving in the future of health. A future where you have game-changing tools to help take control—and no longer settling for a system that manages symptoms.
That’s why I co-founded @function. By measuring over 100 biomarkers, from heart and metabolic health to nutrient levels and toxic exposures, Function empowers you with— - access to your health data - insights you can act on - the power to stay proactive
Thank you for believing in this future and for helping build it with us.

On top of this, medical specialities silo a lot of how medicine is done vs a systems approach, which is way better for patients.
AI facilitating this shift would not just be a fundamental improvement for patients but a radical change for how medicine is done.

Morgan Cheatham6.5.2025
prediction: AI will collapse traditional medical specialties as we know them.
medical specialties emerged out of necessity. as medicine became more complex, no single physician could master its full scope. we began dividing care by organ systems, technologies, and life stages — structures that mirrored both biology and the way symptoms typically presented. over time, hospitals, licensing bodies, and reimbursement systems ossified these divisions.
we learned to think this way not just because it made biological sense, but because it was the only way we could manage complexity.

The healthcare world is going to radically change in the next ten years.

Pavel Ryzhov29.4.2025
@vijaypande delivers an ominous message at Stanford Drug Discovery Symposium 2025 to all C-level execs in big Pharma and biotech:
“50% cut to Medicare/Medicaid is doable VIA PREVENTION AT SCALE, enabled by Al.”
And challenges all “drug hunters” in the audience to ponder this question:
“What (commercial) world will YOUR DRUG will enter in over next 10 years?”
My personal disenchantment with biotech is perfectly encapsulated by this stark reminder.
Big Pharma and biotech industry at large must embrace what AI for prevention and new MAHA government incentive realignment really offer, otherwise, their pipelines in 10 year time will no longer be economically viable.
