here's an update on the modified bacteria in the mouth startup, TL;DR it's much harder than they thought it would be and is it really worth pursuing when we are all gonna be killed by Robot Satan (spoiler of course it is the grift must go on)

Every time. The only succes they had in the wider space seems to be the EA nets. (And even those had some hiccups when people used the toxic nets to fish).
Finally we are reaching The Expanse level of plans from LW, where they did brain surgery on people to remove their empathy.
Do they actually buy, ship, and distribute nets to poor brown and black people? I thought shorttermists just made spreadsheets and donated to other people's charities.
Ziz talked about brain surgery and surgical equipment was found in her panel vans.
I still point people to the bed net research from fifteen years ago
