Dr. Dan used OpenAI Codex to autonomously implement a full ERP system for a friend; it ran for 7 hours and 25 minutes overnight and finished end-to-end tested.
An entrepreneur Dr. Dan met at Network School fired 18 people — 15 customer support staff replaced by AI, and remaining developers replaced by Claude Code.
An entrepreneur cloned a $34,000/year B2B SaaS product by transcribing the sales call and feeding it to Claude Code, which rebuilt the product using the same APIs.
Taking a drug from early research to market approval costs an average of $2.3 billion and takes a median of 15 years.
Natural GLP-1 has a half-life of only 30 minutes in the blood; drug engineers have extended this to enable weekly injections with sustained effect.
Ozempic unlocked mass market adoption by reducing injections from twice daily (liraglutide) to once weekly while doubling the therapeutic effect.
AI lab subscriptions are deliberately priced below cost (loss leaders) to gain market share, while API pricing carries actual margins.
Dr. Dan cited that a very small percentage — potentially less than 1% — of positive results in mouse studies actually transfer to humans.
