里克斯称全球仅约3%、美国约10%的符合条件患者接受肥胖症治疗，市场扩张空间巨大。
“归根结底，空间可能大得多。目前全球范围内，我们估计只有约 3% 的符合条件的患者获得肥胖症治疗，在美国可能约为 10%。所以这个市场的扩张空间是巨大的。”原文 (en)

Ricks认为AI蛋白质结构预测只解决了药物发现中约千分之一的问题，对AI药物发现的炒作持保留态度。
机器可以“相当好地预测一些事情，比如预测蛋白质结构”，但“这只是我们在药物发现中面临的问题的千分之一左右”。原文 (en)
A machine can “predict things pretty well, like predicting the structure of a protein,” Ricks said according to Fortune, “but that is one maybe 1,000th of the kind of problems we face in drug discovery.”
Ricks称语言模型因以人类语言训练而不擅长生物和化学，更倾向于使用多个针对具体预测问题的窄模型。
语言模型在生物和化学方面“并不特别擅长”，因为“它们是用人类语言训练的，而不是用化学、物理和生物的语言”。原文 (en)
language models are “not particularly good” at biology and chemistry because “they’re trained on the human language, not on the language of chemistry, physics, and biology.”
Ricks 表示现在是合并礼来美国与国际商业部门、巩固发展势头的合适时机，并任命曾执掌这两块业务的 Ilya Yuffa 领导全球面向客户的运营。
