Sounds like the story of capitalism. CEOs, VPs, and middle managers are all similarly pressured. Knowing that a few of your peers have given in to pressures must only add to the pressure. I think it's fair to conclude that capitalism erodes ethics by default

What key feature are you providing that can't be easily done by a google sheet?

This. Mass Spectrometry should portably only be used to confirm/train AI vision models. Once a large enough data set has been created for a particular pathogen, incremental diagnostic cost would be effectively 0.

Thank you for pinpoints my confusion/disconnect on what lack of improvement that I was sensing. There was an improvement on pacing, and cadence, yes, but that was not the main challenge with Victors accent. Visually I'd say victor improved by at most 5% and not 50% as indicated by the visualization. In some regards it was even harder to understand than the original due to speed and cadence without improvement in core pronunciation.

The societal brain drain damage that infinite scroll has caused is definitely not overblown. These models are about to kick this problem up to the next level, when each clip is dynamically generated to maximise resonance with you.

How do you know the models are actually managing and not simply amplifying?

His persona as being simple focus is just PR, no different than puff pieces about bill gates driving a Prius, or Warren buffet living in the first house that be bought.

If one was aware that the prosperity disparity is predominantly due to circumstance and if one had empathy for other fellow human beings. Then I think it would be a natural response to want to alleviate other's suffering by sharing some of their prosperity. You can call it guilt, or perhaps just empathy. The other heritable attributes can't be easily be shared.

Almost universally prosperity is gained through privilege, compounded over generations. Privilege being rules/customs/systems that favored your group over others.
