@patrick_mooney@alphaporgs@venikunche I know you have a bone to pick with LLMs (me too) but we are clearly in agreement on my initial statement, “the length of clinical trials specifically seems like a self-imposed regulatory speed limit,” unless you didn’t mean what you said a couple tweets ago 🤷🏻♂️
@patrick_mooney@alphaporgs@venikunche I mean yes my original claim is that a lot of the slowness is self-imposed and we could make it faster with the stroke of a pen. Glad we agree!
@patrick_mooney@alphaporgs@venikunche I mean the fact that the regulatory process is too long and costly is an extremely common view among people who study this and there are a lot of good concrete reforms proposed to make it more efficient.
@nicknow@venikunche Yes I’m aware but at least the people who I talk to (including my bio phd wife at a big drug developer) thinks regulatory time/cost is a major self-imposed barrier.
@sailoor_maria@venikunche I just don’t think this is really the consensus of people who work in this area (eg my phd computational biologist wife who works at a big biotech company in drug discovery)
@SouthernWintrs The fact is that QoL in a phd program is already reasonably well aligned to market demand for the skills. The physics or econ phd student has great outside options so programs have to make their lives inside pretty good.
@SonicHero3D I think franchises are often ruined by trying to have all this tightly consistent cross-game lore and world building. They should just make fun games and not think too hard about some grand overarching timeline and backstory.
@evanhill It just seems very hard to think of an AI takeover scenario occurring where it’s anybody but China, owing to their seemingly huge advantage in physical production, winning.
@xMetalCap Also how can you talk about a dulled sense of discovery when you’ve already played the game? Also you were probably 10 when you played the original.
