The Ledger

Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

clear all ✕

why aren't all 4 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 2 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Wang: Virtual cell AI models will eventually replace physical cellular experiments
“Eventually we kind of, we can replace all the cellular experiments by simply running simulations on computer without even running the actual Experiments.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Wang: Foundation models on causal data will beat linear baselines
“I believe that foundation model or other more complicated AI models that trend on the right data will outperform these linear models in harder tasks, particularly in generalization tasks.”

Prediction Open · timeframe Jul 2029
Wang: Next version of X-Cell will infer spatial cellular representations
“However, definitely our ongoing work and the next version of Excel will be able to infer the spatially aware representations for different cells.”

Prediction Open · timeframe Jul 2031
Wang: Virtual cell models will integrate multi-omics to predict cell states
“So eventually what I predict is that a virtual cell model will be able to integrate not only RNC, can integrate more functionally Related, for example, proteinomics or other regulatory side of omics such as ataxic to overall combine all your descriptive omics …”
