Paris and Brian Crash a BioTech Conference

System Crash

In a break from chronicling Elon Musk’s takeover of the US government, Paris and Brian share some thoughts from Monterey, California, where they attended a convening to mark the 50th anniversary of the landmark Asilomar biotechnology conference. They reflect on how AI is playing into conversations about biotech’s future and the unsurprising deregulatory thrust. Plus, DOGE’s email to US federal workers, Donald Trump goes after digital services taxes, Apple is investing $500 billion in the US, and Elizabeth Holmes is trying to get out of prison early.
Also, the British monkey movie is called A Better Man. Paris has not actually seen it.
