  • Overall survival data was immature at the time of the PFS analysis, with 16% of deaths recorded in the population.

    60% confidence
  • The licensing agreement allows Rigel to launch VEPPANU in the U.S. and pursue global rights, potentially leading to significant revenue growth.

    60% confidence
  • The FDA approval of vepdegestrant was based on data showing the drug reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 43% compared to fulvestrant.

    60% confidence

AI Boom Hits a Fork: Slowdown Calls Clash with Capex Confidence as Markets Get Nervous
Dario Amodei's repeated calls for a global slowdown in frontier AI development, echoed by Microsoft's new humanist AI code of conduct and FTC antitrust caution, are being publicly rejected by Nvidia and Meta leadership even as hyperscaler spending draws fresh skeptical scrutiny (Wachter's analysis, Burry-style overbuilding worries) and weak guidance from Adobe and a post-slowdown-comment selloff in GE Vernova signal investor jitters. Meanwhile wealth and security effects of the AI race keep compounding — Zhang Yiming's fortune surging on AI-driven ByteDance value, a Chinese hacking firm weaponizing AI against stolen government secrets, and low-quality AI-generated products (an AI sitcom, a spam-flooding agent platform) fueling backlash even as adoption races ahead.

Where sources disagree
Berkshire Hathaway
Both facts report Berkshire Hathaway's cash position on 2026-01-01 with identical observation timestamps, but claim vastly different values: 380 billion USD vs 400 USD. These cannot both be true for the same entity at the same point in time. The magnitude of the discrepancy (a factor of ~10^9) rules out rounding, unit conversion, or methodological differences.
