The most dangerous myth in medicine is that aging is natural and therefore acceptable

A failure of the AI consciousness discourse is that people are talking past each other. Opponents of taking AI consciousness seriously focus on arguing against computational functionalism and related theories. But this is not a response to the proponents.
The case in favor of taking AI consciousness seriously is not that computational functionalism or related theories are correct, or that AI systems on current architectures are or will be conscious. Most people who work on the topic are uncertain about these claims.
The case is instead that, first, whether AI systems are conscious is an important issue. If we get it wrong in either direction, either by treating conscious systems as objects or by treating nonconscious systems as subjects, we could make serious mistakes.
Second, this is also a difficult issue. It touches some of the hardest problems in science and philosophy, and humans have been badly mistaken about nonhuman consciousness in the past, as our shameful history of underestimating animal minds illustrates.
Together, these points mean that this issue calls for caution and humility. Rather than confidently affirming or denying AI consciousness, we should invest in evidence-based research and policy that can help us avoid both under- and over-attribution.
Moreover, we should develop this work with not only current but also future systems in mind. AI development is moving fast, and future systems may have greater capabilities, greater autonomy, and more biology-inspired architectures than current ones. We should prepare for the possible emergence of such systems now, rather than be caught flat-footed if and when they arrive.
Rejecting this case thus requires more than showing that consciousness on current architectures is unlikely. It requires showing that AI consciousness on current *and* future architectures is *so* unlikely that we should neglect the topic entirely, notwithstanding its importance and difficulty. This level of confidence is simply not warranted in either direction at this early stage.
To be clear, this is not a response to people who are merely skeptical that AI systems on current architectures are or will be conscious. There are good arguments for and against a range of theories, and I share this skepticism myself. It is instead a response to people who dismiss the topic altogether, and who disparage those who take it seriously as naive or as zealots.

So let's see. People using the utilitarian framework were:
Ahead of the curve on decriminalizing homosexuality
Ahead of the curve on abolishing slavery
Ahead of the curve on women's rights
Ahead of the curve on farmed animal welfare
Ahead of the curve on caring about extinction risks
and now it looks like they're ahead of the curve on wild animal welfare, including insect/arthropod welfare!
Does any ethical framework that philosophers have come up with have a track record even close to this?
Note: Utilitarianism has led some people astray as well. But it's hard to find people explicitely following utilitarianism closely that have done harm other than SBF.

Do the innocent and vulnerable deserve less protection or more?
Humans are the only species intellectually capable of reprogramming the biosphere and fixing the problem oh suffering in insects and other humble minds.
In the meantime, let’s aspire to high-tech Jainism.

I've attempted to map everything in oncology in a public website and open source repo for all.
The site is trying to get all cancers, products, technologies, bottlenecks, people, startup opportunities with 1000+ ideas for upgrading the field.
If you have a loved one with cancer and you are technical or can engineer, go take a look, file improvement requests or bugs or help with the open repo and make this the best open and free info resource for individuals, researchers and educational use.
This should save people time, aid AI oncology projects and generate positive action. If you are not technical just complain in this thread about broken or annoying or things you want and I'll fix them live.
Some of the interesting pages:

There are other views as well, take a browse.
Try making a PR if you have an upgrade to this on the repo here: github.com/judegomila/OnCo
If you are biologically/medically minded and something is wrong, file a bug as well or say on the thread and we will get it fixed live.
If this is a useful project star the repo and help get it calibrated.
I've tried to add some other languages but I cannot speak them so tell me if that doesnt work well.
I believe we will crack oncology and having total information dominance is key to the problem.
Let the feedback flow!

There are few things more anti-human than factory farming.
It replaced human farmers with cages and machines. It broke the millennia-old human-animal bond. It elevated the sin of greed over the virtue of compassion.
Caring about that isn't weird. It's core to our humanity.

Most people don't realize that the next super volcano eruption or major meteor strike are statistical certainties and total human extinction is guaranteed, unless we move beyond the current limits of human intelligence.

Wild horses are supposed to be protected on federal lands. So how can the government sell them for just $25 and then lose track of where they go?
A New York Times investigation followed mustangs from federal holding facilities to a livestock trader in Ohio. A day after he bought them for $25 each, double-decker cattle trucks arrived at midnight, loaded the horses, and drove away. The horses disappeared from public view.
I recently visited the Wheatland Off-Range Corral in Wyoming, part of a federal holding system that now contains tens of thousands of wild horses. What I saw raised serious concerns about our stewardship of these horses.
We need to shut down the horse slaughter pipeline.
☎️ TAKE ACTION: Contact your members of Congress
Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your U.S. representative and both of your U.S. senators.
Start by saying: “I’m a constituent.”
Then ask them to:
🐴 Support H.R. 1661 / S. 775, the Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act, which would prohibit the slaughter of American horses for human consumption and their transport for that purpose.
🐴 Support H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250 Act, with the Van Drew–Titus horse protection provisions intact. Those provisions advanced through the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and address the transport of horses for slaughter.
You can say:
“I’m a constituent, and I’m asking you to support H.R. 1661 / S. 775, the SAFE Act, and to support H.R. 8870 with the Van Drew–Titus horse protection provisions intact. Please help shut down the horse slaughter pipeline.”
Please make all three calls, share this video, and ask Congress to protect horses from being funneled into slaughter.

There is a child with a rare disease who is currently suffering and struggling to manage his symptoms. Rare as this is, you can directly help him.
Today we are launching the "Rare Disease, Real Kid" Hackathon, and there are $50,000 in prizes from @AnthropicAI and @awscloud.
We (@huggingface & @Sagebio) are helping this child open his genome and clinical data to the community, so that we can find what's caused his disease and what currently-approved drugs could help him.
I doubt I need to motivate this much further or explain how rare it is for a family to share their child's genome and clinical data, but if you're not sure, consider this:
Until very recently, it wasn't feasible for patients like this to get treatment because their disease was so rare that the economics could never justify the investment. Now, as we've seen, people with rare diseases are starting to be able to find the answers themselves (with the help of AI tools, cheaper sequencing, etc). This kid is not able to do that for himself and neither are his parents, so we're asking you for help. Both for this kid and to prove that it's possible for everyone else suffering from a rare disease.
More details in 🧵.

My cancer case is n=1. I'm not holding it up as a model, because most of what I did is not specifically replicable or scaleable. But it is a proof of concept that fully personalized medicine, built around one patient's own biology, is viable in ways it simply wasn't a few years ago. I have lived a version of the future of cancer care that I think is worth aspiring to more broadly.
Many of the tools that made this future possible for me are getting better, faster, cheaper, and more accessible every year. I think what we need next is the infrastructure to deploy these tools, and the community willing to build this infrastructure, one patient at a time.
I want to help that future arrive faster. I wrote an article in The Cancer Letter cancerletter.com/guest-edito… for the physicians and researchers closest to the patients who could benefit most from this approach, who also believe in this future. If you are working towards building the systems and practices that will make personalized medicine operationally real, we want to collaborate with you too.

A high school kid should be able to go online, submit a hypothesis to a national lab, and have an autonomous system run the experiment and report results. That is the vision. And it is closer than you think.

I’m incredibly proud & excited to finally share what we’ve been building for the past 3 years…
Lifespan.com is now live 🚀
In a world of conflicting health advice, how can anyone distinguish between what’s supported by science and what’s just opinion?
I wanted to build something new. A place where scientists, engineers, industry leaders, and the public come together, where people can understand what the science actually says, and where we move healthcare beyond treating sickness toward extending healthy lifespan well beyond what’s currently possible.
Explore the new Lifespan Magazine. Watch the Lifespan show. Ask scientists questions. Join a global community. And help support research and the next generation of scientists working to extend healthy human lifespan.
I believe we’re at the beginning of a revolution in our understanding of human aging, and perhaps one day, our ability to change it. I want everyone to be part of it.
Built by scientists. Built for you. Lifespan.com
Life’s too short. Let’s change that, together! 👊

What if getting a new therapy to patients could happen months faster?
Right now, starting a clinical trial in the U.S. takes much longer than in other countries, which means patients sometimes have to travel overseas just to access investigational treatments.
To address this, the FDA is piloting a new approach called the Expedited IND Program, which brings in specialized research institutions to work alongside drug developers earlier in the process. Think of it like adding an expert co-pilot to help navigate the path to clinical trials so issues get caught and resolved sooner, and promising therapies reach patients faster.

The non vegan ideology is evil. If you can’t see that you are blind.
This is what the dog meat market looks like in Africa.
Up to 300,000 dogs are slaughtered for meat every year on the continent.
The trade represents one of the most disastrous problems for both animal welfare and public safety, with one study finding that over 2% of the dogs used may be rabid.
