I think we desperately need some startups in this arena that lean towards open knowledge. I know some very well funded ones in stealth mode which are producing pretty awful and closed prediction models. I don't want a future where my doctor uses information coming from a blackbox.
The point about polymaths is good indeed. But they are hard to find. I have some funding, but found it incredibly hard to hire / team up with someone good enough. Most get lured into finance, which pays well but might not be the most useful thing for humankind.
- agumonkey 11y agoPolymath at the individual or company level (cross domain would be more appropriate ? DNA Crystallography comes to mind) I couldn't agree more with you about openness of advances in medicine, it saddens me that too few people care about this. I wish I was in a position to help in any way. I'll keep your mail in mind too.
- nextos 11y agoBoth. Well, I think focussed individuals with 1 area of expertise are fine. But you need someone who is at least a a very good computer scientist, has some formal background in probability theory and ideally grasps genetics quite well (which is far from trivial as it's a moving target).
