Experts fear ‘unethical’ vaccine trial in Africa is ‘prototype’ for US studies under RFK Jr Danish researchers whose work on effects of vaccines has been called into question are at center of US vaccine policy

I hate this stupid economy, based on theft and the promise of short-circuiting all thought or knowledge, so so much.

Is the reality of the situation. People who call out AI usage for ethical/moral reasons are (to no ones surprise) a minority. Like the FOSS people calling out Windows/proprietary software usage.
