on: Starting a Business Around GPT-3 Is a Bad Idea (2020)
Isn't GPT-3 a glorified autocompletion algorithm? Why would anyone want to start a business around it? I understand it's fun to play with it and NLP has come a long way from Eliza, but at the end of the day they aren't that different in the sense that it's not real AI and like Eliza GPT-3 has no understanding about the generated text. Using GPT-3 to provide one functionality of your product is one thing, create a business around it makes no sense IMO.

on: Effect of Colonoscopy Screening on Risks of Colorectal Cancer and Related Death
Irresponsible click bait title. If you are over 40,take a colonoscopy. I lost my brother (44) from colon cancer which could have been totally prevented. It was a very painful and depressing experience, multiple rounds of chemotherapy and surgeries that lasted over four years and sent his family into bankruptcy. He stopped eating solid foods weighing only 47 kilos and died from suffocation, pretty much liquid accumulating and pressing against his lungs until he could no longer breath. It's a slow and horrible dead that can be prevented with a simple one hour procedure done once every 5-10 years and in many cases 100% covered by insurance.
