Reactivating this acc and repurposing it into a yap and personal acc. Will be replying to stuff and reposting art, often NSFW, be warned.

It's getting dark in your bedroom but you barely notice. You hunch over your computer and add another Malfoid head to Caspar David Friedrich's Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog. Your fingers are trembling with excitement. Your complete cultural victory is at hand.
This is a bit of naive view on both fronts.
AI tools are no replacement for actual knowledge and skills. Especially for a process as lengthy as drug development.
But also business acumen isn't the thing stopping scientists from becoming founders. It's access to Capital.
A culture clash has always simmered in biotech. Academia vs. Industry. PhDs vs. MBAs. Science vs. Business.
These groups have different values and points of view. But it takes a village to develop a drug, so they had to find a way to get along
But what if it doesn't take a village to develop a drug anymore? The 1-person biotech model raises the possibility of a PhD-MBA divorce
I'm expecting many experiments in 1-person biotechs. I kind of love the concept and I really want it to work.
Some of them will be led by MBAs and supplement the scientific expertise with Rosalind. Some of them will be led by PhDs and run the business strategy on Claude. Others, I hope, will be led by weirdos from neither of these backgrounds who approach medicine in ways we've never seen before.
But navigating this transition is going to require enormous cultural sensitivity. There is a world where this is a bitter divorce - MBAs and PhDs fighting to make each other irrelevant.
There is also a world where we dissolve the old cultures and re-form as a community of people who just want to build with Bio.

Imagine public opinion being so openly racist that all Rs and 80% of Ds were opposed to a political coalition that included Black people and the resulting deadlock makes no one close to a majority
Thats basically the situation in Israel
Me: "Scientists have a duty to publish every data point and every western. We must strive to not allow any falsehood enter the public record".
Meanwhile scientific divulgation journalists:
I should know better than to argue with children but:
"Who wants to do CNC". Someone who gets off on the power dynamic of having control over someone.
"Who wants to fuck the dog". Someone who gets off on the power dynamic of ownership and training.
Ain't nothing evil about it.

There's a huge volume problem caused by AI where every tender is flooded with applications, their quality can't be judged, and so it becomes a lottery. The obvious way to remedy this is to hire more knowledge workers but that's the exact opposite of what we were told will happen.
Immensely funny to me that half of the things depicted in the first art are just... Still hanging around.
Also, why does this Hallucigenia walk upright but still has the mistaken bulbous head?
It's very funny to see a bunch of barely literate bluechecks creaming their pants in the replies because the Groyper intern of Linda McMahon posted a crudely made AI picture referencing a Harry Potter meme.
Truly the absolute peak of US intellectual discourse
