<p>It's a distinct possibility. What's more likely is that this person is an example of someone robbed of their own agency, either intentionally or not.<p>It leads to becoming dependent on others, a true Last Man in the original sense. That's where the resentment starts on the part of the giver, especially when enabling people such as this repeatedly and on long enough timescales.<p>What's become clear to me is that there isn't anything inherently wrong (morally speaking) with these people, but they need to be moved out of the way so to speak. They cannot be allowed to escape their various containment zones, and the mechanism for their containment must be strengthened.</p>

<p>The reason for this is that leverage is extremely expensive and punished in the current macro regime. OpenAI will lose money faster if they scale up. That's because the Fed can capitulate all it wants, but real interest rates and real yields won't move. The market is saying "pay me".</p>

<p>> TRT is no longer limited to men with clinical hypogonadism. Men’s health clinics that advertise on social media, TV, and radio will prescribe to anyone who contacts them (and pays cash for the prescription and gear). In some surveys of patients on TRT, 1/4 of patients didn’t even have testosterone levels measured prior to initiation of TRT.<p>That's hugely problematic if true. They should be investigated and if found of wrongdoing, have their medical licenses revoked.</p>

<p>By what mechanism? That's not how it works. LH and FSH are suppressed when you're on TRT, but they stabilize after cessation. The question is, why would someone with clinical hypogonadism cease TRT?</p>

<p>Expectations and reality will differ. Ultimately we will have soft eugenics. This is a good thing in the long run, especially with how crowded the global south is.<p>Nature always finds a way, and it's telling you not to pass your genetics on. It seems cruel, but it is efficient and very elegant. Now we just need to find an incentive structure to encourage the intelligent to procreate.</p>

<p>At the end of the day it's about integrity.<p>One of my relatives is an MtF transwoman now.<p>Her wife was the first person she told about it, and they are still together, with a daughter.<p>It was a little weird for me when I found out, but if her wife is OK with it, and they're providing a stable home for their daughter, I don't see an issue with it; not really my business.<p>The issue is being dishonest, for decades. That's the primary issue. There are always excuses, but living your life with integrity is of the utmost importance.</p>

<p>The counterpoint is that we must formalize the rights of sentient synthetic beings. The Emergency Medical Hologram gained sentience and was horrified to find his next version was relegated to cleaning ships as a glorified janitor. Whereas he developed his own hobbies, interests, hopes, dreams, and even romantic relationships in the Delta Quadrant.</p>

<p>It doesn't freak me out and it's actually completely rational. If both OpenAI and AMZN expect real rates to keep rising while inflation spirals out of control, this deal makes a lot of sense for both of them. They're just duration hedging.</p>
