AI Is Building Highly Effective Antibodies That Humans Can’t Even Imagine
wired.com
machine learning algorithm designs antibodies to target specific diseases, then automated robotic systems build and grow them in lab, run tests, and feed data back into algorithm, all with limited human supervision.

If you read the article, you would realize that this is happening in the UK, and has nothing to do with the US.
EDIT: You guys need to learn what a relevance fallacy is.
And?
Parent commenter is introducing problems completely unrelated to what the article is talking about.
Is he incorrect?
Yes he is. Everybody outside the states will get it too
But he's referring specifically to the states.
The original statement is that only wealthy Americans will get it. That's categorically wrong, as many people outside the states have no problem affording modern healthcare. Either he's forgotten there are countries outside the states, or he thinks the healthcare system worldwide is as screwed up as it is in the states.
Or he's specifically referring to the states and everybody else is making assumptions.
Can you point to the part of his post that specifically states he's talking about the US only? The entire point of my reply was just to remind everybody that the US is not the only country in existence.
"Wealthy Americans" and "the rest of us" is clearly in reference to the rest of Americans. Give him the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming.
I'm not from the US, it annoys me as well, but I don't agree that it applies in this context.
You don't get it. I KNOW he was referring to Americans. My comment is entirely meant as a reminder that America is not the world, and the rest of us exist. I don't understand why you have a problem with that.
That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about the part where you said he was incorrect.
Not sure why you're still arguing if we both agree he was referring to Americans, which was my point all along. Have a good day.
Wow that was a wild read. I just punched out a snarky comment on my phone about how capitalists conflate technology and progress using the American healthcare system to illustrate that. I didn't expect it to get analyzed so much.
@wahming@lemmy.world I'm actually an EU citizen living in the US. I'm sorry my comment bothered you. It makes me really upset to see how poorly my wonderful friends and neighbors in the US get treated, probably precisely because I do have a European example to compare it to, so it's just always on my mind. Cheers, friend.
He's setting up a relevance fallacy.
doesn't change the fact that this will probably be affordable only by people with deep pockets
Or everybody outside of the states
If you meant "everybody on Europe" I'd reluctantly agree. But almost no one in Africa, or South America, or most of Asia will have access to this too
You might be surprised how prevalent universal healthcare is in Asia. Source, am Asian.
That aside, my point was largely to poke holes in the US-centric viewpoint that seems to be the default online.
Russia, India and Bangladesh are on Asia too. Plenty of poor countries on Asia. But, this is a second-handed account since I'm not from Asia, I'm from South America
I understand. They really tend to see themselves as the default, despite being fewer than 4% of the world in absolute numbers, it is unnerving sometimes
Reply to the edit: The problem here is that you're treating every discussion on the internet like an argument. He's not "setting up" an argument, he's sharing an (unfortunate) reality about the U.S. medical system.
