   a corollary is - can a clergy still practice if implanted with a neuromodulator device, i.e. deep brain stimulation, for epilepsy, or Parkinson's, or depression?

   Not thrown out - just not funded. But that is a question more re: how great the judgement of the NIH program managers/officers are, as well as whether there should be a healthier alternative funding mechanism to NIH dominated resear

   Granted, I have heard a scientist (in an unrelated field, I think it was some astronomical NPR interview) describe science as a bit like a supertanker...there usually is some prevailing thing that everyone believes in, but as contrary evide

   Cheating Charon on the River Styx is hard... I will say lecanumab is being promoted like crazy...on the plus side, a side benefit is it's easier to get PET scans covered by Medicare, likely bc of a bureaucratic push from the pharma.

    also, I imaging operational and safety planning/operations research basically didn't exist back then, or maybe was at a fledgeling state?

    I think also the key is - don't call it AI, because it's not. It's LLM assist query parsing and code generation. Semantically, if you call it AI, the public expects a cognitive equivalent to a human which this is not, and

    but then, if one needs to change communications style from human to AI, does this ethos then get tossed to the wind? https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/75

    tbh I would find it annoying to have to go audit someone else (i.e. an LLM's) code... Also, maybe the humbling question is, maybe we humans aren't so exceptional if 90% of the sum of human knowledge can be predicted by next-word-p

    a) that statement above has nothing to do with RFK b) the whole point of NIH and other government research funds is to pay for this sort of "not clearly an effective use of dollars" type of research that Pfizer et al won't to

    I want to say, maybe it's better to say first human under proper IRB/regulatory compliance. Some rogue academic in China tried it a few years ago, if I recall, but with absolutely no oversight and he was pilloried. Also I don&#
