    I don't understand why people believe this conspiracy theory of "oh the government ban was just marketing". That claim feels so incredibly ridiculous to me. It cost Anthropic a ton…

    I disagree. This article is typical embellishment from the university that produced the research. The reality is that they're likely pre-trial stage. Even if they make it through a…

    Yes. The tldr is that this is a drug that showed promise that is in the early pretrial stages. Most drugs fail before they reach the market. Even if this one doesn't, it will take …

    How did you find these things? Since you "stumbled upon them", you probably didn't know what you eee looking for, so... How did this research get started?

    I'm sorry, but I fail to see how your sources are relevant. [1] is written by a science fiction author, and while it outlines how palantir is trying to get into a contract with the…

    As others have said, it depends. What is weird to me is that the citation doesn't state whether these side effects are permanent. I also had LASIK, and did experience severe dry ey…
