I think the biggest cause was actually not groundbreaking stuff, but our understanding of microorganisms and our changes in hygiene (all summarized in better education).
Vaccines. Antibiotics. Cardiac drugs.
All now no longer researched.
The reality of living over 100 is that most of the studies on ageing are just poorly done. Epidemiologists are a meme to the biomedical research community. These are the clowns that triggered the Mediterrean diet, the Okinowa diet, etc. without validating the ages of the people being studied. A decade later: people live longer in regions of Greece or Italy because of familes engaged in pension fraud, and Japanese longetivity was tied to poor record restoration by the US army. One guy figured out people >100 in Japan somehow were born on the 1st or 15th of every month.

or the McRib, whatever animal it came from went extinct.
let’s get real, when was McDonalds never shitty?
To understand this, you have to understand the CEO cult. They ALL hang off every word from SV tech bros, and the appeal of free labor is hard to ignore when you have to find $100M for executive bonuses.
If automated food service was what people wanted, then automats would have never gone out of business 120 years ago.
The Shield just works, and is certainly still getting updates. Frankly, the only thing I learned about unlimited streaming is just how bad Hollywood is. All they do now is rip-off any film that was a success for decades. How many ripoffs of Aliens will people watch?
And gun nuts. Link any article about armed police or military and you get dissertations about what is an assault rifle or not as if it makes any fucking difference.
And in the UK.
aaaand just donated another $100 to Wikipedia.
at that time, Ford owned 1/3 of Mazda. They divested in 2015.
Scientists really would prefer Linux to stay in the nerd realm.
The real life Gavin Belson. Silicon Valley writers used Theil for that character, based on actual events. Yes, he has a blood boy.
I run my course exams in biochemistry through AI chat sites, and these sites are curiously doing worse than two years ago. I think there is an active campaign by activists to feed AI misinformation. But the biggest problem for STEM applications is that if there has been a new discovery that changes paradigms, AI still quotes older incorrect outdated paradigms because of the mass of that text on the web.
The same jobs that get annoyed when the see AI generated CVs.
Senior Boomer executives have no fucking clue what AI is, but need to implement it to seem relevant and save money on labor. Already they are spending more on errors, as they swallow all the hype from billionaire tech bros they worship.
I’d prefer it if they fixed the app so it doesn’t play random shit and subscriptions and notifications actually work.
