@ChristosArgyrop they are right... we focused on the few tens of millions that were dying, and the few hundred of millions that were crippled, and we didn't prod these students who would have been around 15 years old back then, to have their non-scheduled meningitis vaccine at a completely arbitrary point in time. Makes sense (not).
@ChristosArgyrop I explicitly declared it's not human thinking. But it is thinking, i.e. they do have distilled concepts, and they really do inference on them to reach a target, even combining in non-before existing ways and then assessing critically, to arrive at a new conclusion. So, one can't say they don't think. I didn't say planes were kind of birds.
@ChristosArgyrop I think it's high time we should admit these things really do do (sic) some kind of thinking. It's not just statistical slop anymore. It's concepts, and some are actually original. Is it human thinking? No. But airplanes do fly, although they don't fly like birds. It's still flight though.
@ChristosArgyrop NY or Washington you mean? Washington sounds like it, Instead of real clones, he'll have his sons/daughters whatever, and they'll keep exchanging places until god knows when. I don't think this administration is going away btw, ever.

@gwagner indeed, this was scary

(because it was so good)

@ChristosArgyrop looks like due to the autoimmunity risk, these interferon sprays only make sense for cancer or other high risk patients (excluding high risk patients that already have some autoimmune disease) though doesn't it?
@ChristosArgyrop there doesn't seem to be any interferon-a nasal sprays commercially available in Europe, and from what I see, Nazoferon is a product that exists only in Kazakhstan?
@ChristosArgyrop This is (unfortunately, even tragically actually) solvable: AI will be monetized not just by user subscriptions, but also by in-chat *product placement* ads, and active user behavior (ie way of living your life) manipulation. Also, politics.
