Yea but consulting the stock market for valuation seems like consulting a council of local morons what they think of someone. Any signal provoking such a drop would itself be many times more valuable, if it is indeed meaningful in the first place.

I thought we were supposed to see AI managing costs reductions by now. Instead I just see chatbots and frantic PMs looking to prove their utility.

> Hard to argue with that, but do we now use a handful of epigenetic markers generated using a cheek swab sample to decide who gets “healthcare access, special lodging, sanitation, and nutrition”?

If you're speaking from an american perspective, this hand-wringing is unnecessary: we leave our own citizens exposed on the street. If we were capable of making decisions about who deserves xyz in the first place we wouldn't be living in such an obvious shithole to begin with. Maybe we should set our standards much lower if we aim for research to actually benefit humans.

Surely any distinction bewtween ledgers is just as dumb at this point. Who gives a damn how the traits are passed down if that these traits are passed down is still a true statement of fact?

All of this fine, but surely in your context the efficacy of SSRIs should not imply the accuracy of a serotonin theory of depression. At best we know that the medication works, at worst we know that it's actively encouraging people to kill themselves, although the latter seems a little unlikely atp.

Having been on an SSRI myself I gave up on the hope of SSRIs forming the basis of real treatment decades ago. Bupropion seems less harmful but also seems to have similarly small impact.
