Which is why OP used "cure cancer!" as a joke.

However, much progress has been made. I am alive right now because of a breakthrough cancer therapy that was FDA approved in 2011. (Well after Nixon!)

This fall I am going to get a therapy that mass-replicates your own immune cells in a lab for re-injection. It's so expensive (and has uncertain benefit) that it's not generally available in the UK or Canada yet. Automation will be a key to making it cost-effective.

It's such a complex area, I think information retrieval and computational science / simulation, or AI if you prefer, will help.

anti-DEI police of the current Administration

That DEI enforcement group seems to be asleep on the job. The current administration has appointed numerous women* to important positions.

*Biological women, that is. Sorry about the rest of you guys. I guess you are going to have to do a better job tucking.

Are you sure about that "biological" thing? Most of them look like Stepford Wives.

Seales is using conventional machine learning techniques that the article's author has conflated into the buzzword of the day, artificial intelligence.

Machine Learning *is* an AI technique. Artificial Intelligence has always been an umbrella imprecise word to define a large class of very different algorithms, with the only trait in common that the programmer doesn't know a precise sequence of steps to find the solution but rather the data-driven program explores the inputs to try and find useful results.

Saying that a program is AI isn't wrong, it's just not very informative about what approach was used.

"Direct to Satellite" tech is coming right along and both the satellites on cell towers and the batteries to power them are going to be obsolete fairly soon.

Latency to LEO is not a dealbreaker for backup usage. 25-50 ms for Starlink.

Granted, your issue about bandwidth still stands and seems hard to fix. They form virtual cells on the ground with beamforming, but I don't know how many satellites are in view of a city at the same time to divy it up.
