+1 - cancer prognosis used to be treated as a death sentence for most forms of cancer and "stage 4" was almost immediately referred to hospice. Amazing progress in our lifetimes, and an impressive roadmap ahead.

The complexity of truth doesn't fit in a headline, let alone attract enough clicks to win the competition for eyeballs and virality - which means that even if someone somehow succeeded in telling the whole truth in a headline, that art

-1: I know many people who are switching to Claude. And Google makes it near-zero friction to adopt Gemini with Gsuite. And more still are using the top-N of them. This is similar to the early days of the search engine wars, the browser war
