    Ask yourself this, 5-10 years from now, if I am a teen, why would I go to a human teacher when I can go any information I want from AI online, way faster, more accurate . Yes some people still want interaction with human bla bla bla, that’s probably going to be about 29-25%, but can colleges survive with enrollment that low..

    Wikipedia says: Enhancing performance Methylphenidate [i.e. Ritalin]'s efficacy as an athletic performance enhancer, cognitive enhancer, aphrodisiac, and euphoriant is supported by research.[61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69] However, the manner in which methylphenidate is used for these purposes (high dosages, alternate routes of administration, during sleep deprivation, etc.) can result in severe unintended side effects.[70][71][69] A 2015 review found that therapeutic doses of amphetamine and methylphenidate result in modest improvements in cognition, including working memory, episodic memory, and inhibitory control, in normal healthy adults;[72][a][73][b] the cognition-enhancing effects of these drugs are known to occur through the indirect activation of both dopamine receptor D1 and adrenoceptor α2 in the prefrontal cortex.[72] Methylphenidate and other ADHD stimulants also improve task saliency and increase arousal.[74][75] Stimulants such as amphetamine and methylphenidate can improve performance on difficult and boring tasks,[74][c][75][76] and are used by some students as a study and test-taking aid.[47][77] Based upon studies of self-reported illicit stimulant use, performance-enhancing use rather than use as a recreational drug, is the primary reason that students use stimulants.[78] Excessive doses of methylphenidate, above the therapeutic range, can interfere with working memory and cognitive control.[74][75] Like amphetamine and bupropion, methylphenidate increases stamina and endurance in humans primarily through reuptake inhibition of dopamine in the central nervous system.[79] Similar to the loss of cognitive enhancement when using large amounts, large doses of methylphenidate can induce side effects that impair athletic performance, such as rhabdomyolysis and hyperthermia.[12] While literature suggests it might improve cognition, most authors agree that using the drug as a study aid when an ADHD diagnosis is not present does not actually improve GPA.[47] Moreover, it has been suggested that students who use the drug for studying may be self-medicating for potentially deeper underlying issues.[47]

    When you said "in science, your job is very different from other jobs because it's a combination of hands-on skills with theoretical understanding... You have to kind of make up the job you wanna do...that job that no one has done before..for those having a difficult time in science and trying all these troubleshooting skills...and not sure if you're really good at it or getting better at it" I couldn't agree more! I've struggled in the early stages of each role that i've had. Often times seems difficult to find resources online to gain clarification on instructions on complex subjects due to the unique nature of one's role in a lab environment. I've had the privelege to work in very challenging settings that I feel have only made me better but when you're in the learning phases it could be quite daunting. I appreciate your videos significantly and feel so relieved to have found you page because when I need refreshers on certain subjects, you have been extremely helpful in my journey. Thank you so much for your content and invaluable contributions to the TH-cam learning space!

    Thank you! Just found your channel through a search on bioinformatics. Since there was no comment so far I decided to try my luck to get an answer from you. You mentioned you go into further details for substack members for that job application and I'd like to know if you can do something similar or any kind of mentorship/guidance for "resurrecting old biologists" (in case I subscribe). I don´t even know if it`s feasible at my age (50) but I´d like first to get training in bioinformatics and then work with it. I studied biology but abandoned an MSc in molecular neurobiology two decades ago due to life`s circumstances and needed to work to survive in unrelated fields like language teaching and translation. With two decades of a totally unrelated career, it is highly improbable that I could still do a career change like that, anyway I´m always studying and trying to learn what I can by myself (Python, etc.). Except for the practical lab techniques, since bioinformatics can be quite theoretical and more related to IT, I thought it might be more accessible to learn and work remotely in my situation since I still need to work parallelly to survive unless I got a scholarship, which is also quite improbable at this age. Though it is difficult to leave this vicious circle, there may be still a chance to go back to science...

    In my opinion AI will replace 'certain' doctors such as GPs in the UK (called family physicians in other parts of the world). That's because their role is more or less impossible at the moment in the UK, they have around 15 minutes to look through a patient's history and make a diagnosis. This includes looking through any allergies, what medicine has been prescribed in the past, lab results... AI can look through this in a matter of seconds, and using any new information provide a holistic diagnosis. That being said, someone (not necessarily a 'doctor') needs to talk to the patient and then feed AI with any relevant information. This can be done by less qualified staff such as pharmacist, expert nurse practitioners or physician associates. Medicine need to adapt to new technology like all other fields. Should it really take 5+ years now to complete a medical degree when so much as changed in this day and age? Gone is the time when a doctor had to soley reply on books/raw memory to treat a patient. That being said, surgical doctors or those that are not involved in primary care will not be replaced by AI anytime soon
