The military expects 50k casualties in the first 8 days of the next high-intensity peer conflict. That’s 20 years of losses from GWOT compressed into a single week. We’re building @pilgrimlabs to deploy medical technology designed for the operational realities of modern warfare.

The steelman argument here is that LLMs have accelerated research but I remain skeptical that taking a modern academic and giving them a bunch of money will only lead to basic research and languishing IP.

Bell Labs could only exist with the monopolistic overcoat of Ma Bell and struggled significantly after AT&T was broken up. I fully support the creation of alternative pathways for translation but this idea just sounds like a bet against @Convergent_FROs
well, here we go. @sama, Masa and others are backing new company trying to become a Bell Labs for the modern age. scoop here -

There is a vast amount of compelling technology languishing in academic literature. Companies are beginning to modernize the tools for discovering and indexing promising research, few are addressing the tools required to translate those findings into real-world applications.
Academic science cranks out ~5 million papers a year ~1 million will never be cited ~2 million will get fewer than 10 citations The biggest problem in science isn’t funding cuts it’s that we’re drowning in scientific slop

Substrate is building a next-generation foundry to return America to dominance in semiconductor production. To achieve this, we will use our technology—a new form of advanced X-ray lithography—to power them. America invented semiconductors. We will lead again.

We’re growing at @pilgrimlabs and hiring more mechanical/electrical engineers to build hardware for biology - from autonomous pathogen detection to advanced trauma care. We have $5M+ of machining, chemistry, biology, and hardware equipment in-house. 🔗 Below

If you can’t stop the bleed, nothing else matters. At @pilgrimlabs, we’re building the medicine to keep warfighters in the fight. I spoke with @demarest_colin at @axios about why military medicine is broken—and what we’re doing to fix it. 🔗

If you do not know how to render aid to someone with a traumatic injury, it's time to fix that Today, right now 1. Search 'Stop the Bleed' and sign up for a course in your area. They are typically free 2. Search NAR SIRK GEN 1 and buy one (check exp) Learn what each component
If you are unfamiliar with the subject, now would be the time to acquire a working knowledge of sectarian and political violence It's time to update your priors

founders told me they'd rather start a company than go to college bc ai gives you "a ph.d. in your pocket," as @jakeradler said. bc of mass layoffs, @im_roy_lee thinks the "worst thing" someone who wants a "stable future" could do is work in big tech. 2/ https://t.co/XAXDoRZOJp
