The drug discovery revolution is real but radically overstated, the health chatbots are a documented hazard, and the diseases that matter most remain stubbornly unsolved.

Dan Pratl, founder of Quadron, believes this anxiety reflects a deeper structural issue that extends beyond automation and into how value itself is recognized. “We’ve reached a point at which the maturation […]
In October 2025, Sam Altman posted a message on X that ended with a single, carefully placed promise. ChatGPT, he said, would soon allow verified adults to access erotica. He framed it as a matter of principle: treating adults like adults. The internet reacted with the usual mixture of outrage, excitement, and jokes. Then, in […]
What is it worth to increase your chance of success? Or to reduce the chance of a costly failure? For most of modern history, we have not been able to answer those questions clearly.
