Rigorous evaluation of medical AI is good for everyone, and we welcome it. Counter to a half-dozen independent studies from institutions such as the Mayo Clinic that were highly positive on OpenEvidence—a lone paper now purports to show that generalized AI beats specialized clinical AI (@UpToDate, @EvidenceOpen). The paper has a massive undisclosed conflict of interest and irredeemable methodological flaws.
Behind the scenes: The study authors run a competing in-house medical AI at their hospital, and asked OpenEvidence for an API to power it — including rights to build a "competing product" with OpenEvidence's own API. OpenEvidence declined. Then, this paper coincidentally appeared.
Point-by-point, looking closely at the datasets used in the study, the disingenuous and fatal flaws become immediately apparent 🧵.
I never would have guessed that one of @ostrohealth early failures would end up memorialized in @Entrepreneur.
If you’d asked me in 2020, I would’ve assumed that story stayed buried in a notebook somewhere.
But here we are...

@ValerieAnne1970@ValerieAnne1970 - I urge you to stop spreading misinformation about LDL-C and statins. What is more concerning is the number of educated, high health literate individuals who are watching this and believing it to be true. This demonstrates a much larger health literacy issue.
Please do NOT come work for any company I have founded or am investing in if this LMT pro-mediocracy ad appeals to you.
We are deterring our adversaries to save millions of lives, and reshoring to build the next American century. Not whatever this is.
Move to Austin! It gets better very year.
So many cool, world-class people are moving to Austin from SF, LA, NY, London and many other parts of the world!

Flying home to Austin, TX.
American Renaissance city.
Great food & music; and lots of my favorite people live in town. Many are building stadiums, clubs or other fun places.

I learned a new financial metric tonight. It’s EBITDACC (Earnings before interest tax depreciation amortization and cost of compute). We are looking for EBITDACC positive companies. DM is open.
We have three cool announcements today:
(1) @OpenAI is launching commerce in ChatGPT. Their new Instant Checkout is powered by @stripe.
(2) We're releasing the Agentic Commerce Protocol, codeveloped by Stripe and OpenAI.
(3) @stripe is launching an API for agentic payments, called Shared Payment Tokens.
It's clear that internet purchasing modalities are going to change a lot, and we're excited to start to lay some of the foundations.

Shopify merchants will be able to sell directly in ChatGPT.
We’ve been working with @OpenAI for quite some time so people can search and buy products in chat, and it’s something we’ve had a hard time keeping quiet.
Rollout is coming very very soon.
It’s been a few weeks since we brought GPT-5 to Microsoft 365 Copilot, and it’s quickly become part of my everyday workflow, adding a new layer of intelligence spanning all my apps.
Here are 5 prompts that show what’s now possible:
i can't think of a non-cliche way to say this, but everyone who says having a kid is the best thing in the world is both correct and still somehow understating it.
@FortuneMagazine asked me about the so-called “AI bubble.”
My take: volatility is part of every major tech cycle, but in healthcare, AI’s impact is already tangible.

But that doesn’t mean AI is overhyped. It means the winners will be the ones who prove AI can deliver durable outcomes in complex, regulated industries.
