The LLM did not design the drug. The LLM summarized some papers on how to design similar drugs, and then a dozen specialized tools were used in an established pipeline to design the drug. You people need to read the article and read the bac

It's not a radical medical breakthrough, it's applying a technique already documented in the literature and years into human clinical trials. The LLM is just doing literature summary and planning. The most notable AI innovations h

The LLM didn't oneshot the mRNA treatment, it merely suggested the idea. Most of the steps in the process were done with specialized tools. And no novel treatments were invented wholesale, it's more applying a documented process w

Pollution is not in the "top 5 leading causes of death" unless you count all deaths caused by diseases that are exacerbated by pollution as caused by pollution.

As someone who is sensitive to noise, rural areas bother me far more than urban ones. Traffic is low-frequency and only rarely annoying, but the few times I have lived in rural areas or gone camping, I have been woken up repeatedly by the h

Your problem is that you were happy as a child and unhappy as an adult. That's a personal problem, and has little to do with rural or urban living. As other commenters have pointed out, you can most likely afford to buy a farm if you r

What is monstrous is the confusion of the natural with the just.

If you had kids earlier, you wouldn't get more time with the specific person you love that is your son, you'd get more time with a different son. No doubt you'd love your counterfactual son too. But you shouldn't feel ba

It's not gymnastics, you just have no background on this topic. Species are not moral subjects. Individuals are. Killing an individual animal that could live a worthwhile life for longer is an individually bad act. Insofar as this happ

I'm not angry, just disdainful. Some abstract philosophical positions are unworthy of respect.

That's exactly why I look forward to it!

"Regrowing teeth" started human trials last June. Development takes time. And there is no single cure to cancer.

There's no way it's a worthwhile investment to invest thousands of dollars and take on significant risk and discomfort just for a tool to "resist expectations." You should invest that in a therapist. Or moving to a diffe

Calling 19 "childhood" is crazy. Most teens have an understanding of what they want their life to look like.

That's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting your attitude towards it might be.

There probably are reasonable methods of estimation that would say suffering associated with factory farms currently outweighs suffering occurring in the wild, though I don't know if I agree. However, factory farms are both relatively

As a card-carrying optimist, I am strongly in favor of universal right to die. Maybe you should wait for the people in this thread to report their opinions before making assumptions? I don't want most "complainers" to kill th

I mean this sincerely, not as an insult: consider that the problem is with your mind or personal life, not with the world, and you should look for a way to address that if you haven't already.

The person you're responding to is explicitly saying they would be fine with suicide.

Causing harm to biomes is not the same thing as causing net harm to animals inside biomes. The base rate of harm done to animals inside biomes is immense and horrific.

Biomes are not moral subjects and don't deserve consideration. (Pigs are).

First I want to say I appreciate that you're willing to acknowledge when you're wrong or confused. As I said, you've convinced me the LLM fucked up here. I still believe LLMs are useful for learning, as long as you know the r

Jake Seliger died ten weeks before his daughter was born. For many people, a chance at buying some time is worth a lot. Trials are also by no means exclusively performed on terminal patients.

Why? Plenty of children benefit from talking to other people. Some children need careful monitoring, and some children shouldn't be allowed to use DMs, but it's not universal and should be up to the parents.

Funnily enough, now that I've gone back and reread the LLM's explanations, I've decided that point 1, the one you were least critical of, is garbage whereas points 2 and 3 are fine. 1. Mice usually clear drugs faster, not slo

Examples aside, 5 years isn't long enough for a treatment to move from early mice trials to clinical use. The average time from application to FDA approval is about 10 years. The breakthroughs happening now will benefit average patient

Short answer, no. Long answer, it's a variable you need to consider when doing data analysis, and it depends on what exactly you're talking about, but it's absolutely not true for improvements in cancer survival general. One

mRNA cancer vaccines are the most exciting new treatment about to hit the clinic. Moderna's Phase 2b intismeran autogene randomized trial found a 49% (!!!) reduction in the risk recurrence or death for patients with high risk melanoma
