Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

AI doctors will revolutionize medicine! You'll go to a service hosted in Thailand that can't take credit cards, and pay in crypto, to get a correct diagnosis. Then another VISA-blocked AI will train you in following a script that will get a human doctor to give you the right diagnosis, without tipping that doctor off that you're following a script; so you can get the prescription the first AI told you to get.

Can't get mifepristone or puberty blockers? Just have a chatbot teach you how to cast Persuasion!

medical.. tourism.. to thailand.. for.. filling a.. a script? a script? for like, regular prescriptions?

I know medicine pricing in the US sucks donkey nads because of fucked system and there's probably at least a couple compounds where this equation might make sense, but only yud can look at that problem and then only talk about AI instead

okay I admit it, I chose badly. it's too fucking early for this. off to find coffee I go.

I think he means script as in, literally a series of lines to say to your doctor to magically hack their brain into giving you the prescription you need (gee, I wonder how these people ever got into pickup artistry!), not a script as in prescription. I think it's not about cost, it's about doctors... prescribing you the wrong thing for some reason so you have to lie to them to get the correct medication? Is this some conspiracy theory I'm not aware of, lol

you're probably right on script. that still leaves the other questions

regulatory arbitrage (for addie-seeking)?

have these fucking morons never heard of a black market, jesus
