He stated that their perceptions of the country as a traditionalist museum were shaped, among other things, by Indian films on TikTok and reels. He added that Poles have fallen in love with kebabs, embraced it as a national street food, and started creating their own variations. #kultura #imigranci #jedzenie (translated)

"One cannot simply create a new drug and market it. And one cannot simply say 'Well, we will check its safety later' (...) It is necessary to convince the FDA. And for that, a considerable amount of work must be provided, worth about one billion dollars. That is the strict minimum that should be required for AI."
