How is this at all scientifically revealing or interesting? The paper says he developed structural heart failure with several confirmational lab findings then died doing a stress test of his heart basically? Like... yeah? That's what would happen in a 76 year old. ????

Idk if I like that line. If you made no mistakes then you chalk-up your loss to bad luck and are not really demotivated so much. You know you did your best nothing to regret so you can easily keep going. When you keep making mistakes and losing because of those it becomes far more demotivating and that's WAY more likely a scenario than the other.

> There will never be this research There is a massive profit and political incentive driving this research. It isn’t finding any signals as clear as the real doctors.

What? What are you even talking about? There's no way to control for exposures to hundreds of thousands of new chemicals in our environment and foods. LITERALLY NO WAY TO CONTROL. Did you know air pollution contributes?

What real doctors are you talking about? You are going up some branch where it's not even misaligned with what I'm talking about you just clearly aren't deep in this subject at all.

"> There's way too much shit in our environment

Sure. And it’s probably harmful. But it doesn’t cause everything.

Cigarettes cause cancer. Cigarettes are bad. That doesn’t mean the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was caused by cigarettes, and anyone saying that makes no sense is a tobacco shill."

Okay The Plant Slant.

"> our resilience is suffering

Suffering resilience is a weird way to describe allergies."

1.) Not talking about just allergies here 2.) You clearly do not know much about allergies. Do you know anything about the gut microbiome or intestinal lining and how things in our environment, medications, and in our foods contributes to affecting it and those associations with the development and alteration of allergies?

Waiting eagerly for your reply where you just copy-pasted my reply to an LLM to get a synopsis and add your own personal snark to it.

Not well that's for sure. Constant stress. My mental state is nothing like other people my age (mid 30s)

There will never be this research. Meanwhile, complex disease states for which there is zero cure explode in incidence. Side behind "the science" all you want but it's just foolish coping IMO. There's way too much shit in our environment and in what we are exposed to and/or consume that we did not evolve to tolerate so it's no surprise our resilience is suffering and will continue to suffer in upcoming generations.

U.S. is runaway corruption

So it's not really a surprise our food and drink quality and safety would suffer alongside that

It's probably going to get worse

Yeah major doubt

Maybe in 10 years when frontier-level models are easily usable and not locked down by the government and PVP between the companies and everyone else to justify their existence and take all the resources from everyone.

Maybe then it'll accelerate development.

"The ruling said training on books is fair use."

Like when people bring this up as if it's somehow just like acceptable.

It's not at all. That's utter bullshit. The people that run the courts have been bought out. They have no idea what the far-reaching consequences of this is.

Why are companies allowed to remove themselves from the web archive?

They shouldn't be.
