E33: High Stakes in High Tech: Al Predictions and the Pitfalls of Pride

While Luke is motorbiking across Europe, Krzysztof is doing aerial acrobatics above Warsaw and dropping down on jet-skis, Bond-style.

Luke reads about Ray Kurzweil's latest AI prognostications, which include discovering how to use hundreds of thousands of new compounds, leading to the promise of free energy and the need to capture that energy. Krzysztof, despite his $EOSE investment waiting to flower, cautions in favor of more tempered expectations with all things AI-pie-in-the-sky. $RLAY therapeutics being a good example: while it has the strongest AI platform in biotech, getting the drugs from clinical trials to revenue is a whole 'nother ballgame.
