Flowers for Algernon’s Brain
This short story was scarier to me as a kid than anything else I read at the time.
The movie adaptation — “Charlie” — is heartbreakingly good.

#53When can I snort this?
I knew cocaine had to have an upside.

#54High impact journal for an interesting study that is admittedly largely out of my area of expertise. The limitation of it being done in animal models, is of course, noted, but also expected. The question I would ask is how well the underlying background research makes this outcome expected.
Damn, that’s one hell of a way to say “is this any good though?”. Too many words for such a simple question.
But "how well the underlying background research makes this outcome expected" does not mean "is this any good though".
It's also an actually interesting question.
It's one thing to find some things hard to follow, it's another to be proud of it.

>>The article is also heavily ai generated can you please share your methodology for detecting ai please?
“The most surprising part? It all happened within weeks and lasted for months.” That’s an AI tell. It may not be entirely LLM-generated, the various direct quotations help a lot, but there are touches that definitely feel like an LLM had a hand here.
That's not an "AI tell". If you read anything in recent decades, this is a turn of speech human writers wrote for ages and still write.

"It's not just x, it's y." Absolutely clear tell, especially at this frequency. Examples from the article below:
"Over decades, it doesn’t just wear down, it also starts to run hot." "... the therapy didn’t just clear brain fog, it physically improved the brain’s ability to process and store information."
The quotes as well: "'... Not just living longer, but living smarter and healthier,' Shetty said." "'We aren’t just trying to understand the biological mechanisms, we are translating and developing our findings into real-world therapies that could make a difference,' Shetty said."

What that is is a tell of bad writing

It’s a tell now. I see it I assume AI and disregard.

#60I take N-acetylcysteine and it helps with brain fog also! Plus it reduces stress and irritability.
What is your dosage?
