The segment on the breakthrough HIV prevention shots was inspiring, and your analysis of the competition between the open AI models was enlightening, especially as it is such a fast-developing field. It was a great positive read, thank you.
Although I may be off the mark, drilling into big data models, looking at population rates and analysing the data in these populations faster will help better model issues. I suggest that the scientific data collected and collated will be better analysed to improve science-based medical programmes in the future. A friend is working on an AI model for skin legions in the UK. This has been rolled out in one hospital as a trial. This means that a GP can send a photo of the legion and, with a +99% success rate, get a reply, whether this is benign or malignant, within 24 hours. This means that clinicians can work on active cases more, not on looking at pictures to decide on treatment.

Hi, you previously did one or more pieces on advances in mineral search. Robert Friedlander has a public company Ivanhoe Electric symbol IE which has a discover tool called Typhoon. Well worth looking at as well as their second tech which is for processing mined product. BP has signed JV for search and develop covering the U.S. If it is good enough for BP, should be worth looking considering. The problem is that EI's projects are all early stage and it seems to take forever for these projects to go into production. RF is an industry senior with several other firms including Ivanhoe Mines. Interested in your take
> For example, BARDA funded the majority of COVID vaccine
Genuine question - I recall hearing that the recipe for one of the vaccines was produced in a remarkly short time after the virus sequencing came in, e.g. < 4 weeks, and the remainder of the ~10 month delay to it getting into the public's hands was the clinical testing. This was possible because of the new techniques (RNA) developed by these companies. It sounded like Operation Warp Speed was beneficial by hurrying the FDA process and committing to buy a billion shots so that the companies had certainty to manufacture as much as possible. Is that recollection generally correct? If so, the techniques developed by industry would be primarily responsible for COVID vaccine development.

HIV prevention is a good thing, providing a person avoids other STDs.
Agreed. Thoughtful care is always needed.
Jon, great points.
What aspects of the breakthrough HIV prevention shots and open AI models do you find most exciting or promising for the future?

I have to try that exoskeleton. That gives me chills!

Wow! 😮👏🎉

So, Zuckerberg argues that open models are better.
Sure, that must be because Meta is very open about what it does with its users data.
