David Friedberg says Anthropic asked big pharma for their data and nearly everyone said no
"There's been an effort by Anthropic to sign up life sciences companies to contribute to a new life sciences focused model. They're approaching these large companies with large proprietary data sets and saying, if you share your data, we will give you early access, some sort of proprietary value. Sign this NDA and you can participate with us."
"I think nearly everyone I've spoken with has woken up to the fact that they are trying to commoditize everyone's business. If all of the tens of billions of dollars you have invested in experiments and product development, and you've generated all of this proprietary data along the way, that data is a true asset of your organization. It's an asset that you've spent billions of dollars developing."
"And by handing it over to a model company to then combine with other people's data, you are commoditizing the one core differentiation that you have. And so everyone is largely saying no."
"I think what everyone's realizing is they're better off developing their own weights and their own models using either an open source basis or there might be some intermediary business model that evolves."

🚨 BREAKING: Ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang, Shabir Ahmed, has been released from prison today.
The Pakistani migrant was jailed for 22 years in August 2012 after being found guilty of 30 child rape charges involving girls as young as 12, but released this morning after serving less than 14.
Ahmed was one of the nine men from Rochdale and Oldham who were found guilty of exploiting girls at two takeaway restaurants in the Heywood area of Rochdale.
Due to the Immigration Act 1971, he will not be deported back to Pakistan.
Before you judge this man, may I introduce you to the public sector in Berlin?
There are 56.000 public employees in Berlin. (By comparison, the EU commission employs 33.000 people).
In 2025, they took, on average, 37 days of sick leave, compared to 22 days on average for German workers as a whole.
They also get 30 days of vacation, which are added on top of that.
So they do not work a whopping 67 days per year, out of 220 possible work days, which is around 30%.
This may not be the most elegant solution and it will be a huge headache for doctors, but the problem is real especially in the public sector.
