no, I should be asking myself, “why am I still at this dead end job that asks me to constantly ‘ship’ a broken product. Leadership doesn’t want to encourage delivering value to the customer”

You don’t need courage at a “big TeCh” job. Just be slightly competent and you are already light years ahead of your colleagues

Is it wrong, though? This is a pretty much universal phenomenon. It's less about real goal X and more about making sure the boss feels good when you're around.
That usually correlates with being a good worker, but not always.
> why am I still at this dead end job that asks me to constantly ‘ship’ a broken product.
Because the economy is broken right now and my country is gaslighting me into think it's perfectly fine for rent to go up 50% in 2-3 years and groceries to double.
There's definitely a storm coming, I can worry about my passions again when it passes.
Switch out alternative streaming services with torrent links or alternatives ways to listen to the content. And you would actually have something here.
LLMs are only a subset of generative AI. If we discover that LLMs aren't a pathway to society-transforming AGI, I think the attention towards them will be pretty easily redirected towards image use cases. It seems like a pure engineering problem, well within the state of the art, to e.g. enable me to produce a beautifully formatted flow chart or slide deck with the same amount of effort it takes to write a paragraph today.
In so many words, this study basically described the immune system. Similar mechanism to how immune system is able to identify foreign bodies (virus, bacteria) and issue the appropriate response.

I don’t see the ethical dilemma proposed here. If patient or doctor exhausts through traditional medicine, and have the financial means and expertise to do “self experimentation”. There is nothing wrong with this. As long as the self experimentation is limited to the patient themselves (1), then there’s no ethical issue.
edit; although with recent change in political atmosphere in USA, there’s probably some group out there that thinks this is “playing god” or some bs.
The ethical dilemma here is probably based around “individual vs community”, but it’s hard to say when there is no knowledge of how it actually affects the “community” in the long term. The risk is that inspiring people to self-treat might cause more harm than good, but again, nobody really knows.
I’d argue that it was more of a liability refusal from the journals, disguised as ethics. It should probably noted that it’s not an outright lie though. Again it’s hard to say considering we don’t have access to the refusals.
Climate policies were already getting gutted under this administration due to reversal of Chevron deference by SCOTUS (packed by previous Trump/Pence administration).
EPA and other regulatory agencies have been stripped of their regulatory powers. Any “vague” law which was interpreted by agencies can now be challenged in courts.
