  • Bit misleading. Tumour-associated antigens can very easily be detected very early. Problem is, these are only associated with cancer, and provide a very high rate of false positives

    They’re better used as a stepping stone for further testing, or just seeing how advanced a cancer is

    That is to say, I’m assuming that’s what this is about, as i didnt rwad the article. It’s the first thing I thought of when I heard “cancer in bloodstream”, as the other options tend to be a bit more bleak

    Edit: they’re talking about cancer “shedding genetic material”, which I hate how general they’re being. Probably talking about proto oncogenes from dead tumour debris, but seems different to what I was expecting



  • I feel like a lot of people in this community underestimate the average person’s willingness to trust an AI. Over the past few months, every time I’ve seen a coworker ask something and search it up, I have never seen them click on a website to view the answer. They’ll always take what the AI summary tells them at face value

    Which is very scary









  • but I hurt his feelings, so I had to apologize to him

    This happens way too commonly for me. My mum or dad do something ludicrous, I call them out for it, they can’t retort anything I’ve said, they get butthurt, the other comes to me telling me I need to apologise, I do, they learn nothing, rinse repeat

    I failed one subject in my final year of uni so I had to repeat a year only doing that one subject, and they convinced me to move back in because I wasn’t doing much. Very stupid move on my part. I’m glad I’m out. Nice to catch up with them but oh boy it’s terrible living with them
