Re:Eli Lilly CEO pushes back on Dario Amodei's ludicrous med... by waffletower on Friday November 13, 2026 @12:18PM (#50486593)
Comparing Anthropic to Theranos is possibly more ludicrous than Dario's claims. Dave Ricks' (Eli Lilly CEO) tweet is much more guarded and accommodating of the medical benefit possibility of AI than the sensational framing the OP provides. I think Ricks is right -- Dario's timeline for cancer and Alzheimer's is likely way too aggressive. But comparing Anthropic's actually shipping and continuously improving AI models to a bogus medical device shows a stark lack of thinking.
