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.]

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
