This is noted and considered out of scope: >Obviously some traits are more genetic, and thus inherent, than others, but that is not the scope of this post as even highly-heritable traits will result in a large distribution of outcomes.

How do they expect to lead in identifying fake content when the problem is intractable if adversaries are even somewhat competent?

You can collect heuristics which may work here and there to stay ahead in this cat and mouse game, but when adversaries use AI models properly, there is no way to differentiate.

most people either find a rare doctor that will prescribe it to you or purchase it without a subscription online

I have been taking rapamycin for many years now. It's obviously not ready for anywhere near the general public and is never something I'd suggest to someone at this point, but my own results have been wonderful and my blood panels and energy levels are great. If I had to guess, when properly used, this would probably add a full 5-10 years onto the lifespan of a lot of people. When combined with many other promising treatments, I think we could easily add 10-15 years onto most peoples' health+lifespans.

I play it fine on Linux through Steam/Proton with a Valve Index. If you have a Quest it may be quite difficult, but it should be fine without VR as well

Koe AI | Machine learning/Audio Engineer | Remote / Austin | Full or Part Time | https://koe.ai/ (full website coming soon)

We are currently a team of one person (me!) working on releasing consumer products that perform real-time voice and singing conversion using machine learning (converting the sound and timbre of voices, generally, but other things as well). Although we haven't shipped our initial version yet, the workload is getting to be a bit too much for me to handle everything on my own, and I'm looking for someone with great passion for this specific mission and some strong engineering ability in machine learning and audio to help make some really exciting products (please only reach out if you have strong machine learning experience!). If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out via email to 'hi' at the above .ai domain with some information about yourself and your CV!
