I am not a coauthor but do know a decent amount about AI systems from a maths and computer science degree from Oxford, couple decades coding and being lead architect on https://hai.stanford.edu/watch-caiac https://hai.stanford.edu/watch-caiac amongst other stuff :) Originally took a break from being a hedge fund manager to build AI lit review systems to investigate ASD etiology for my son along with neurotransmitter pathway analysis to repurpose medication (with medical oversight) to help ameliorate his more severe symptoms. Had 100% satisfaction from programmers with some math knowledge trying fast.ai and members of team active there, really nice take off point into a massive sector. It digs nicely into the principles and is not a surface level course. The stable diffusion one will need some good work to get through. But yeah my job now is to get billions of dollars into open source AI to make the world happier, happy to do my best and let the smart and diligent folk buidl.

That's interesting. How far did you get utilizing AI for treating ASD? Do you know other efforts in that direction?

  He is happy now on an n=1 case. Potentiating GABA really helped with him, with other folk it may be balancing glutamate. Our medical system isn't really set up for that which is why I designed and launched CAIAC, it assumes ergodicity in the population while everyone is kinda individual, particularly for these multi-systemic conditions. Will be aggressively investing in this area and making the output available openly next year after our education launch.

    I agree on your analysis. Assuming someone wants to go the path you did, where should one start to read about it? Do you have a blog on your path? If there's a way to contact you (Sharing similar challenge) I'd be happy.

Thanks for the response! Sorry for underestimating your background based on what little I had read/heard about you. I appreciate and respect what you're doing.
