The Day Novartis Chose Discovery

news.ycombinator.com Alex Kesin 2025-12-03 05:36:07

In 2002, Mark Fishman walked into a glass building in Cambridge with an unusual assignment: to turn the Swiss pharmaceutical company, Novartis, into the world’s greatest therapeutics research firm. More unusually still, Fishman was — at least on paper — precisely the wrong man for the job. The Harvard cardiologist had spent his career studying zebrafish hearts and teaching medical students. He had no pharmaceutical experience and no business training. And yet, Daniel Vasella — the physician-tur

Truth Social’s New AI Chatbot Is Donald Trump’s Media Diet Incarnate

wired.com Guthrie Scrimgeour 2025-12-07 15:20:48

When I ask the new Truth Social AI chatbot about navigating bias in the media ecosystem, it gives what I view as pretty reasonable advice. “Diversify your sources,” it responds. “Rely on news outlets across the political spectrum, including those from both left-leaning and right-leaning perspectives.” This is advice that the AI itself may not be taking to heart. For instance, to come to the above answer it cites five sources, four of which are Fox News articles. The fifth, inexplicably, is a 4

A reference implementation focused on describing and developing the core language can be found in the lurk-lisp repo.
