Good. I assume they use the money for the most pressing inference and training needs such as the importance of using utensils to handle food and good hygiene practices.

There's no reason for this to be expensive. I've made CRISPR nanoparticles and mRNA vaccines for research purposes. I can tell you the process is simple enough that a person with good financial means can make these himself in a garage with below $150k of capital expenditure. Note .. it can be done for under $60k too in a crude manner. I put $150k because you'd want a machine called an FPLC for purification purposes, freezers, and maybe a DLS. Now before that asshole who always argues with me shows up, it's DIY and isn't going to meet GMP-certification standards. I reckon you could meet GMP standards for under million .. because the only difference is that you need more analytics and you have to hire people to watch and sign documents. (Note: I haven't much experience with that aspect.)

Yeah a society is more free where its residents are afraid to go out because they can be mugged or killed on the street and the perps walk free because there's no way to track who they are. Drug dealers should have the right to deal in privacy.

If you owe the bank $5,000 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $5,000,000 it's the bank that has the problem.

The West hasn't gotten poorer by any metric. Home ownership has increased. Air travel has increased (means people have vacations, economic strength). Homicide rate has reduced over the last few decades. Long distance communication is easier and widely available. More people have health insurance. Disease treatments are more widely available. Let me know of a meaningful metric by which you can say we're poorer. You can argue that we may not have progressed as much as we could have, but we haven't digressed on any rational metric.

What's China to do with its pile of foreign currency? Most countries dont make anything China wants. If anyone's being ripped off it's China. They provide a product people want, in return for what? A piece of colored paper? Well not even that. A database entry of some numbers.

50% of homicides go unsolved because of people like you. What's wrong with recording what happens in public? Do shit privately.

Seems like everyone wears contacts, gets lasik, or something?

In public for security reasons, we have to allow recordings. My safety is more important to me than your right to secretly visit brothels or Facebook to know where you shop. If you don't want Facebook to use the data then block that, put criminal charges on Zuckerface if he accesses cloud data for advertising -- and handsomely reward whistleblowers. People have the right to record publicly areas outside their home and within their vicinity. Businesses have the right to record their premises and public areas outside it.

Tel me which law you reckon is easier to enforce, a law against people recording stuff and saving to the cloud (end to end encrypted) .. or a law that forbids mass analytics for anything other than solving heinous violent crimes?

Think of which is more intrusive to enforce.

Plastics.

They should actually have AI prompt design as part of core curriculum nowadays. I see many people who are clueless of how to actually write prompts for AI and are using it inefficiently. I think a semester or quarter wherein students learn to do nothing but prompting for various things would be of immense value.

You have no statistics, I came at you with a link to statistics -- 50% of lung cancer (by far the biggest cancer killer) is diagnosed late .. I provided you a link for that, plus actual evidence I've seen says cancer is frequently diagnosed too late. You keep saying there's tons of evidence that diagnostic testing early is useless, but you haven't shown me a single link.
How many links do you need?

Your head may need an MRI. I'm serious. They need to check if all the lobes, specifically the frontal lobes, are present.

From 2018 to 2022, nearly half of all lung cancers were diagnosed at a distant stage, meaning the cancer had spread from the lungs to distant parts of the body. https://www.cdc.gov/united-sta...

Nearly all pancreatic cancer is diagnosed late.

Cancer is 95% curable in stage I, and 95% incurable in stage IV.

I'm in biotech, a big problem the field tries to solve is late-diagnosis .. investors are throwing lots of money at liquid biopsy and early diagnosis --- for good reason. But forget my bias on that. How old are you? I mean, I've lived some years and seen too many incidents of late diagnosis especially of cancer.

Statistics don't work for you, maybe you need anecdotal evidence? I have three stories that occurred within the decade to friends:

1. I had a friend, a non-smoker .. middle age, who coughed blood and went to the ER. After some investigation (CT scan/X-ray) they told him he very likely had lung cancer stage III (basically a point where it was very hard to cure). Right before they told him that, they asked this question: "when was your last chest X-ray?" Note: Stage I lung cancer costs a median $25,000 to treat and patient likely lives, stage IV lung cancer costs almost ten times as much at $210,000 and even after spending that the patient is highly certain to die.

2. Also happened to my ex's friend. In her case she even went to the doctors early and they kept telling her it's a UTI, after some rounds they did an ultrasound and told her she was "urinating wrong" .. I'm not even kidding they told her .. a woman in her 30s that she wasn't fully emptying her bladder when she pees and that was leading to UTIs. And after some months of THAT .. they FINALLY did an MRI or CT-scan and found out it was (by then) stage IV bladder cancer.

3. A person I know in his 60s had been complaining of back pain .. first his doctors treated it as some kind of muscle pain or BS. Then, after a few YEARS of that .. they did an X-ray or CT scan .. they told him it was a cyst. "It's not cancer, if you've had the pain for years". Did nothing, put him on anti-inflammatories and maybe a steroid injection. A year passes, the pain had got worse. They FINALLY do an MRI or PET-CT. Guess what it's fucking bone cancer, stage IV .. too late to cure.

Oh yeah true .. in-office or community center or pharmacy then. Seems like a good benefit (assuming such a low maintenance MRI could ever be made) .. It would need robust safety features to prevent injury of people who forget to take out metal/or forgot they have implants.
