Did a little bit of digging on that one, before being bought by Bayer, the Cutter biological division was responsible for another pharmaceutical disaster. They accidentally (?) sold 120 000 doses of polio vaccines containing the live polio virus.

dedale@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Eli Lilly drug shown to slow Alzheimer’s progression12·2 years agoVery skeptical of that one.
They’ve been trying to target amyloid for more than a decade, and it’s the first time I hear of it actually working.The treatment seem to have huge side effects (brain bleeding and swelling) and lead to patient death during the study.
Elly Lilly is also know for marketing zyprexa as a treatment for dementia (despite inefficacy and increased risk of death). Which is IMO criminal, at best unethical. I’m not inclined to trust them at all.I hope I’m wrong and it works. Alzheimer is a terrible way to go.

dedale@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•With Studios Attempting To Own Digital Likeness Forever, Lets Have a Look at Posthumous Performances271·2 years agoUnethical does not even begin to cut it. It’s firmly in horrifying territory for me.
If a construction company taxidermied their dead workers into animatronics and used those unholy puppets to perform the same job, it wouldn’t shock me more.

Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.9·2 years agoAlternatively, the fall of Elon Musk was his way of getting Jack Ma’d, because money is not everything, and you can’t just buy yourself a tool of strategic value and expect no consequences.
dedale@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•What would be the long-term impact on the internet and society if Google were to completely fail?2·2 years agoI don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.
Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.
dedale@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft moving fully to the cloud, does this mean something to us?5·2 years agoMiddle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.
dedale@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•2 authors say OpenAI 'ingested' their books to train ChatGPT. Now they're suing, and a 'wave' of similar court cases may follow.805·2 years agoAI fear is going to be the trojan horse for even harsher and stupider ‘intellectual property’ laws.
dedale@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•France grants police power to spy on citizens through phones3·2 years agoA few things. How do we know it’s going to be Pegasus? How do you know the price, why is it so expensive (and why would anyone assume it to stay so)?
Because if it actually is Pegasus, the main problem with this bill isn’t surveillance (although it is most definitely a problem),
but the tacit endorsement of this unregulated infoweapon.As the poet said: doubleplusungood.

dedale@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Meta Will Nuke Your Instagram Account If You Delete Threads Profile4·2 years agoFor Instagram. Threads is banned in the EU as far as I know.
I don’t know how they’ll deal with California’s CCPA.
Social media is a tool of state surveillance and manipulation. Why wouldn’t it be legal?

It’s cumbersome and annoying, but they’ll have to honor it.

dedale@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do the wealthy have now that will roll down to the rest of in the next 10 years?01·2 years agoNo to be too much of a downer, but I see it happening the other way around.
Things available to the middle class that will be reserved to the wealthy. Like house owning, swimming pools, cars, plane travel, maybe even personal computers.
It was murder. He stood against the hoarders, and they got his head.
