We should - but this was literally telegraphed out to the world in China's current 5 year plan! "According to the current "14th Five-Year Plan" in China, the focus for biotech development is on significantly expanding the "bioeconomy" by accelerating innovation in healthcare, bio-agriculture, bioenergy, environmental protection, and bioinformatics, aiming to establish China as a global leader in this sector by 2025"

@bradloncar True but they capitalize on other team’s eventual dumb mistakes - and they don’t have the pressure that first timers like Saquon (predict a first half fumble) have.

@AnjKhem @bradloncar He was indeed ahead of the curve

@BertrandBio Long Chinese New Year break… predict at least 5-6 announced by end of Q1

@drrichjlaw Luka traded to lakers

Buried in the article is a note about a TikTok-inspired bill - focused on barring US investment in Chinese AI companies “(Hawley, J. (2025). Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act of 2025. 119th Congress, 1st Session.)” NOTE: The bill does not explicitly prohibit drug discovery investments, but if such investments involve AI and Chinese partnerships, including upfront payments, they could fall under its restrictions. Some may argue, however, that a “DeepSeek” moment is necessary for US techbio to accelerate beyond its current screening and AI-lite phase @BiotechCH @bradloncar @drrichjlaw

Edit: quietly inlicense a PH1 program from China, announce positive results on said program in such a way so that people infer that it's an AI discovered program...

@zavaindar We have to reimagine the org chart of biotech startups.. it may be painful but that’s where we are.

@AlexHarding7 @JamesSurowiecki @zachweinberg Yes - it’s superb and I have relatives who depend on it… by GOP governor Mitt Romney. Access to quality healthcare should be a bipartisan issue

@PearlF @drrichjlaw Yes

@drrichjlaw Still no.. lol

@drrichjlaw Part of it is that everyone want "A" in their name to be first.. The likelihood of confusion/infringement is insanely high (I had to do a double-take). It's like if I started a techbio called Recursian or Exsientia
