I was at the airport a month ago & saw a self-driving wheelchair. Maybe when all the jobs that people used to do are done by AI, we’ll give everyone UBI & free healthcare. I wonder if I’ll see it before I’m old enough to be in one of these. We could do it now. We could do so much more for people now

Presenting at #ASCO25 today! I was expecting to find evidence that oncologists prefer more-lucrative treatments, and was surprised by our results! Clinical benefit matters, drug profit did not. Cc @dusetzinas.bsky.social

✅ Tell the truth. Rebuilding trust starts—and ends—with honesty. When trust is broken, patients need transparency more than anything else: an honest acknowledgment of what went wrong, why it happened, and what will be done to prevent it from happening again. #HealthXPh #medsky

I couldn't help it. I had to lay Facebook's stock price (blue) over top of Facebook's internal data of how much consumer sentiment (jagged line) had fallen off a cliff for Facebook which FTC had in its opening exhibits today. 2014 - 2021. Monopoly power on display, Professors.

Imagine your life gets expensive as hell, inflation or disaster or medical crisis etc. Suddenly it costs $1,000 a day to not die. 28% of Americans have less than that in savings. They'd die in 1 day. A millionaire could last 2.73 years. A billionaire could survive that for 2,730 years.
