   @mekkaokereke There's the racism and transphobia but also more subtle things. Consider this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/06/upshot/no-giving-more-people-health-insurance-doesnt-save-money.html, arguing that increased health care coverage increases costs.

   No doubt every fact cited in this article is true. But! No mention of most every other country having linear relationship between health outcomes and spending... except the US which spends more for vastly worse outcomes: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy-vs-health-expenditure

   So reading the article makes you _less_ informed about the issue.

   @glynmoody I wouldn't call it "democratisation", and I also wouldn't necessarily count on it scaling that much in the long run, considering the "astronomical" compute costs.

   No need to worry, soon it'll only be rich kids doing it once again.
