many things which i'm always excited to talk about in detail, but the first would be trying to create a set of models of humans and serve it as an api for conducting simulations at scale

Interesting. What got you interested in that?

What type of model? Physiological? Psychological? Whole body?

Interesting. You certainly know the space better than I do, but I’ve seen a handful of startups attempting to solve for pieces of what you're describing.

My current opinion is it needs to be government / grant funded. The startup costs appear too high and the path to commercialization too long.

wdyt?

going from relatively atomic models then composing them together. fluid mechanics for veins, control systems for the heart, etc. idea is similar to huggingface you have lots of diff models and can compose them easily to form as granuar or as whole-body of a human simulation as you want
