In a hypothetical world where some physicians are replaced by AI, who gets sued when things don’t go well? Because this is America, somebody’s gotta get sued.

I have logistical questions for the full body MRI + AI interpretation crowd. What do you do with that report? Take it directly to a surgeon? Expect them to operate without a radiologist interpretation? Will the hospitals allow it? Who pays for it? Gonna need ironclad research to

Massive new @Nature study: castration increases lifespan across vertebrates (zoo mammals, rodents, wild animals). This aligns with historical human data: Korean eunuchs lived 14-19 years longer than their peers. Your move, @Bryan_Johnson.

We need to incentivize airport pull-ups. You want pre-check? Do a pull-up. Priority boarding? 5 pull-ups. First class upgrade? 10 pull-ups and you have to go the wrong direction on all escalators and moving walkways.
