Exactly. A while back, maybe late 2025, we were playing around with AI, as it was supposed to be this new "great" tool. We asked for peer-reviewed articles on specific mental health topics. References looked good until we searched for the actual articles - non-existent. The AI app asks, "Is this good, or shall I try again?" Try again, Beaver Cleaver. And again, fake articles. Tried a third time. Confirmed that AI is worthless for factual resources.

After a presidential election that saw an 82-year-old commander in chief unable to complete sentences in a debate or instill confidence in the public that he could carry out his duties, elected leaders in Congress are faring no better.
In the past two months alone, 82-year-old Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) was discovered to be living in an assisted-living facility with a dementia ward in her final months in office; 74-year-old Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) won a high-profile leadership position on the House Oversight Committee after revealing he is battling highly terminal esophageal cancer; 82-year-old Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) fell twice on Capitol Hill just months after blacking out during a press conference; 84-year-old former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) fell and broke her hip in Luxembourg; and 76-year-old Rep. John Larson (D-CT) appeared to suffer a stroke on the House floor. (Larsonâs staff has said it was a bad reaction to a new medication.)
What has eluded attention is the highly secretive hospital, housed on Capitol Hill and funded by taxpayers, that provides both emergency and primary care to an aging political class, which some have come to describe as a gerontocracy.

Baby I'm Amazed.
But the seminal question is "Will it become for the benefit for the masses?" My bet is it won't.
Science advancement is a feel good concept, but in structural and financial realities, it becomes a commodity like everything else.
Future advancement is a warm fuzzy, but the now in this fragile nation, is fraught with real terrors.
Once I celebrated innovation and discovery in the U.S. Now I wonder which angle from the right will shoot it down.
My previous boss, Robbie Pearl, has talked about this at length. He saved a failing Kaiser Permanente and now is an author and podcaster and Forbes contributor. His stuff is worth reading if the topic interests you. Brilliant guy, and I owe him my successful career.
