I certainly don't support fascism but at least Hitler had some interest in science. Things are worse in India. We spent 0.8% of the GDP on Science and Technology. At the same time, a part of that (taxpayer money) is spent on Homeopathy, Ayurveda, and Cow Urine/Dung Research.

junior bankers make relatively little money. lots more than the janitor, but probably a lot less than their boss's secretary.

like if you have the credentials to be a junior banker, you could make 2x as much money doing pretty much anything else in the world

it's all a giant loving competition to get one of the cherry senior jobs where the pay is outrageous, and very few of them will actually get that

like almost all will wipe out, quit, and get a normal job that pays better. for most of the junior bankers, the years of sacrifice and suffering will be for nothing. and sometimes that pressure is enough to drive them to suicide. it's an extremely lovely game

play cravath games, win capitalism prizes

sorry you worked hundred hour weeks for a low six figure salary but you can take solace in knowing your efforts helped finance bain to kill a few thousand jobs in flyovers

can always move back to your upper middle class hometown and open a boutique cafe/bakery/gallery if you dont want to call up your ivy connections

I mean, if they even get that far. Extreme sleep deprivation + coke/upper abuse required to keep up -> suicide or brain damage is a steep price for a job even for some Long Island trust fund kid.

You can even ignore the moral component for a second. Doesn't this sort of working condition show how incredibly stupid and inefficient the bosses are? Ditto for hospital workers who work through really long shifts. You're tasking people with vitally important jobs and expecting them to be able to perform perfectly throughout really long hours, putting themselves and the work at risk. Why does management do that, does it truly save them money.

i took one of those dumb personality tests because the boss's wife demanded every employee do it (i had been working there for seven years at this point) and she reportedly got mad and was close to demanding that i re-take it "seriously this time" because clearly i had lied the first time

one of my co-levels at a different job took a hr personality test that said they were a �Type A boss� type and so had our entire business group take the test so their employees could identify their own type and read how that type can accommodate their �type a boss� personality

i took it and got the �awesome coworker who makes everything better� type and got accused of cheating

Why are governments allowed to collude like this? Isn't this the same idea as price fixing? Exploiting their monopoly (governments' monopoly on the right to do commerce) to unfairly raise prices (taxes)?

>Many companies/etc keep promising to "revolutionize"
I think the technology is already here, but society does not allow technology to fail at a similar rate as a human. Also the second question, who is to blame when it fails? Doctors have malpractice insurance. A radiologist has to sign every report(and get paid). When a tesla auto-pilot has an accident, it hits the news. This is while humanity is having thousands of accidents a day.
Mammography is the most difficult radiography to interpret. Cant we start with the regular chest xrays? how about bone fractures and trauma x-rays? Those are easier, and i am sure the cost of such xray will be very low.
So I think the problem is with politics and legal.
Do u know that 80% of doctors visits are for simple complaints like headache, back pain or prescription refill? Do u really think AI cant solve this?
It is all about the money baby

You seem extremely biased against AI in general, to the point where I very much doubt anybody would benefit from hearing your opinions on it.

I wonder if you can replace a GP with a decision tree. You could update the tree as new research is done.
If you could collect reliable diagnostic data locally, you could serve this globally and for free.
It would also be a treasure trove of data about how we respond to various treatments.
