ai is finding antibiotics for diseases ai hasn’t even created yet (I kid, I kid)
🫠
Finally a good use of AI, instead of using it to replace artists.
Yeah but think of all the bacteria it’s putting out of work.
most artists deserve to be replaced
Right. Only people who create value for shareholders deserve to live.
The one uniquely human product in all of the planet’s history? Yeah, ok.
thats not true.

But it’s going to be. Until we do something to stop them, it’s absolutely going to be that way. There’s no serious view of human history that will tell you anything different.
We can’t just sit here and marvel at technology without acknowledging who controls it, who uses it, and what they’re going to use it for. Without people, AI is just a bunch of code sitting there waiting for input.
Think of how many more species we can drive to extinction now!
Quick! Produce tons of it and inject them into factory-farm livestock, like we did with all other antibiotics.
Quick to the beef depository!
First Check if it doesn’t make our fingers merge into a stub
Ooo, a new allergy!
My dad was allergic to practically every antibiotic. He only developed the allergy in his senior years. It was a big problem for him. Even if the antibiotic seemed to be working okay, he had to take a lot of Benadryl just in case and keep an epi pen around.
It’s very common as you hit a second puberty and you’re body is suddenly like ‘nah’.
It’s like a warranty is up or something.
Thankfully, my mother doesn’t seem to have this problem. She’s 81, so if she hasn’t developed it yet, I don’t think she’s going to. Really sucked for my dad though.
Can’t wait for anti-antibiotics movements! 😅
Anti-antibiotics… Isn’t that just biotics? Like from Mass Effect? IDK, could be cool 👀
Yeah, just like anti-antifa… 😅
It would be long overdue. The scientific consensus for vast harms from antibiotics has been strong for many years. https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/
Meh, then I guess it’s time to stick with flat earth theory… :/
Bacteriophages are a great secondary option. Similar to how bacteria quickly evolve resistance to antibiotics, bacteriophages can quickly evolve to circumvent phage resistance.
This AI thing would be excellent at hide and seek.
Great. Now don’t overuse it again.
The article (and what I can access of the paper it is based on) doesn’t really give any details as to what this class is, how it works etc. All the interesting parts about this aren’t mentioned.
I guess all the people solely cheering for this aren’t aware of the damage we’ve been doing to ourselves with antibiotics:
Resistance may already be a solved problem: https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/#fmt-to-counter-antibiotic-resistance
This is a simplified to the point of absurdity comment. Microbiome is important, but is absolutely not enough to prevent antibiotic resistance.
That is simply wrong. I wonder what gives you the courage to make such boldly false statements?
My medical degree, internship, residency, and years practicing as a doctor.
All that and yet your statement contradicts the plethora of citations that were provided, without providing any support yourself.
If you spent more than 3 seconds reading what you post, you’d realize that fecal transplant only affects the gut microbiome, not body-wide resistance. Fecal transplant, obviously, does nothing to combat pneumonia, skin infections, abscesses, or literally anywhere other than the gut. As the vast majority of fatal or life threatening infections are not isolated to the gut, your argument fails. But I need not argue against citations, as the provided papers don’t even argue your point.
That’s not true. The gut microbiome regulates the entire body, including other body site’s microbiomes. This information is included in the links I shared. Here is a specific page that covers it https://humanmicrobiome.info/systemic/ but there’s more in the rest of the wiki as well.
So nothing relevant to the discussion. Got it.
Bacterial infections can kill people.
Don’t be stupid
A perfect example of the black and white thinking that has caused so much harm.

If the choice between giving someone life saving antibiotics or disrupting their gut microbiom until they eat some yogurt, that’s an easy choice.
False equivalency is what you’re doing, btw
What you just said is harmful misinformation and 100% demonstrates that you didn’t read a damn thing that you’re responding to and acting like you’re an expert on.
It isn’t, and a random website isn’t a source
If you have an article from a medical journal, or a study with a sample size of over 1,000 diverse participants I’ll happily read that.
I could make a website that contradicts everything in the one you linked and host that for free.
Antibiotics save lives. Vaccines save lives. They are good things.

So you clearly don’t understand how citations work. You shouldn’t even be engaging in discussions like this until you do.
If you have an article from a medical journal, or a study with a sample size of over 1,000 diverse participants I’ll happily read that.
Once again proving that you didn’t read anything you’re arguing about. You need to reassess your behavior.
Antibiotics save lives. Vaccines save lives. They are good things.
False dichotomy, further demonstrating your cluelessness.
I know I’m not going to convince you, and that’s fine, but people like you get other people killed.
Steve Jobs infamously had a treatable form of cancer, but instead of going to a doctor and doing the scientifically verified treatment he ate fruit that some nut job said would cure him and he died.
The only medical advice anyone should ever give is go to a doctor. That’s it. Period. The end.
