@SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas. This is the problem with the Democrat party in the US, it panders to the privileged states that already have high wealth and education. In UK/Australia the left wing party supports and is supported by the less privileged who want worker rights and affordable housing etc.
It is a big problem with the Democrats that Trump (who gives tax breaks for the rich) can get away with putting on high vis and getting photos in a garbage truck. That should have been the left's territory, but left in the US is university educated city slickers.

The moral is that states like Massachusetts should reinvest their money in states like Oklahoma to help them get out of their misery.

American biotech company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced today that it's buying 23andMe,
the bankrupt consumer-genomics company that sold take-home DNA kits.

Regeneron is to pay $256 million in cash to acquire "substantially all" of 23andMe's assets,

including its massive biobank of around 15 million customer genetic samples and data.

Put simply, the genetic information of millions is now in the hands of a drugmaker seeking to mine it to make new therapies,
per the Washington Post, which could be a data privacy nightmare in the making.

not only can they make the therapy - they already know who to target for the advertising.

"CEOs are extremely excited about the opportunities that AI brings," Elijah Clark,
a chief executive who advises other head honchos on using AI at their companies,
told Gizmodo in an interview.
"As a CEO myself, I can tell you, I'm extremely excited about it.
I've laid off employees myself because of AI."

Clark is one of many executives who've been strikingly honest about their intentions to cast aside their flesh and blood workers in favor of AI.
One tech startup is even advertising its AI "sales agent" by putting up billboards that read
"Stop Hiring Humans"
in cities like San Francisco, and recently New York.

Not all are quite so glib,
but most seem to be in agreement that the tech will wipe out loads of jobs.

And AI CEOs including Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic have repeatedly warned that their tech will put millions of people out of work,
perhaps in an attempt to manifest a self-fulfilling prophecy while appearing to care about the plight of their fellow humans

Y'know, if the revelation that Altman, Amodei and their ilk are AI-generated beings themselves and are only pushing for an AI future to purge all human life on Earth came out tomorrow, I wouldn't be shocked.

in reply to Chuck Darwin

I'm extremely excited by the possibility that "AI" CEOs may end up losing their reputations (and hopefully their shirts) when people realise most of current "AI" technologies, as spruiked by the usual suspects, don't deliver on what was promised.

The Familiar Suicide & Final Wish of the NYC Gunman

#ShaneTamura is not the first former #football player to shoot himself in the chest & request that his #brain be examined.

The scenario has become grimly familiar to football fans: A former player experiencing cognitive issues kills himself with a gunshot to his chest, rather than his head, to allow for his brain to be examined for the disease linked to repeated blows sustained on the field.

“Study my brain please,”the note said.

Duerson, Seau & Bramwell were found to have #CTE, which can be diagnosed only posthumously.

It will take weeks, or possibly months, to determine if the gunman had CTE, acc/to neuropathology experts.

Chris Nowinski, a fmr pro wrestler & Harvard #football player who for years has been pushing #sports leagues to acknowledge the link between the #brain disease & #concussions, said a CTE diagnosis requires the…study of 20 different regions of the brain.

Nowinski is the co-founder of the #Concussion Legacy Foundation, a nonprofit group that supports #athletes & others affected by #concussions & #CTE. He recalled many cases of former #football players found to have CTE after experiencing a drastic change of personality leading to erratic #behavior, poor decision-making &, in some cases, #violence that included #murder.

But he warned against prematurely blaming #CTE for anyone’s actions.

“#MentalHealth issues come from a lot of different places, not just from #brain injuries or CTE,” Nowinski said. “But I also know the history of this issue, & it’s something that keeps me up at night.”

Regarding the gunman & his request that his brain be studied for CTE, Nowinski said: “It is critical that his brain is studied because this is a #pattern, right?”

#football #NFL

in reply to Nonilex

A positive diagnosis would not mean that #CTE necessarily caused the gunman to be violent, experts said. Though people with CTE often have problems with #thinking, #memory & #behavior, there are many factors involved when a person decides to commit a heinous act, said Dr. Daniel H. Daneshvar, chief of #brain injury rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School.

#football #NFL #trauma

in reply to Nonilex

“I would never draw a direct line between someone’s #brain pathology & any specific #violent act because the majority of people who have #CTE never committed anything like this,” Dr. Daneshvar said.

He added that “the majority of people with CTE never engage in violent #behavior at all,” & that just “a fraction of a percent” of people with CTE displayed the type of violent behavior seen in the #shooting on Monday.

[that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a contributing factor]

#football #NFL #trauma

in reply to Nonilex

Dr. Ann McKee, the director of the Boston University #CTE Center, who has studied thousands of brains of #athletes & others exposed to #brain #trauma, said very little is known about the link between #violent impulsive #behavior & CTE, & that more studies must be done.

“There is damage to the frontal lobes, which can damage decision making & judgment,”she said. “It can also cause impulsivity & rage behaviors, so it’s possible that there’s some connection between brain injury & these behaviors.”
