Prediction text
2026 era characterized as building a 'country of geniuses in a datacenter' — AI enables 'biological freedom', giving humanity insights to cure complex diseases (cancer, Alzheimer's) and rapidly extend healthy human lifespan over the coming decade; same algorithmic architectures displacing software engineers will brute-force molecular biology. | First AI-designed molecule cancer cure approval
Key catalyst: First AI-designed molecule cancer cure approval
Watch events: First AI-designed cancer drug FDA approval
Resolution evidence
Amodei 'Machines of Loving Grace' essay formalizes framing; AI-drug-discovery startups (Recursion, Xaira, Iambic) scaling; Alzheimer's cure remains elusive despite AI acceleration.
Predictor: Dario Amodei
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Dario Amodei is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
