They also have a high risk of causing irreversible involuntary movement disorders and a host of other nasty side effects. Many patients would rather live with the delusions/voices. Not saying it's a better option but that's probably why med compliance is so low. That and the general distrust or paranoia that usually comes with the disease obviously.

To be fair a non negligible amount of people with schizophrenia end up involuntarily committed to a psych ward at one point or another. I don't think it's right but once that happens you are no longer free to refuse medical treatment from the doctors in the hospital.
If people are regularly receiving antipsychotic injections and electroconvulsive therapy against their will I don't see why a cell therapy or outpatient surgery would be off the table.

Damn that seems hella promising. Also seems easy to manufacture too which is huge. Most materials science developments I see posted on Reddit don't seem to be.

On the GPU side I think we mayyybe will get one more doubling of performance within the next few years. But yeah after that improvement will likely start slowing as it seems like Nvidia has already pulled out all the stops with the 4000 series. (Power consumption and card size are reaching insane levels).

They are trying and memory chips are already 3D but as someone else mentioned heat is a big issue. I believe there is work being done on microchannels that run through the silicon itself to cool 3D processors, but not sure how far along that is.

Just to push back on this a little bit, if this chart is accurate then why haven't we accurately modeled C. Elegans brain or behavior? According to this chart AlphaGo is already many orders of magnitude more powerful and yet we haven't achieved this.

Antipsychotics for me. No I was not psychotic, but my psychiatrist said it would help with my sleep issues.
I'd take lack of sleep over inability to orgasm or feel any pleasure like a million times over lol. I guess I'm kind of used to it by now but it definitely makes life weird

Dictators don't usually die of natural causes though. Usually assassination takes them out and this isn't going anywhere even with rejuvenation medicine.
