Not OP but anecdotally: ChatGPT diagnosed my wife's MCAS, POTS/Dysautonomia and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome before any doctor did (not for lack of trying on the doctor front). Once we had that direction we found the right providers and it's made a world of difference

Not op but my wife has MCAS. The things that have helped the most are: Oral Cromolyn (helped sooo much with gi issues), and more recently she's started Ketotifen which is a systemic mast cell stabilizer that's seemed promising but is fairly new. She also tried Montelukast which was well tolerated but didn't make a ton of difference for her personally (but I know it helps a lot of people). Supplement wise DAO was the most useful for food truggers

My wife was diagnosed with several chronic conditions in the last year. AI tools both diagnosed her before a doctor did (which helped us find the right docs to care for her by figuring out what to look for). One of her conditions (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) comes with a ton of dietary restrictions. Its helped us immensely in planning meals and identifing food triggers. All of this would have possible with out AI as a tool but would have led to much more pain and suffering and likely taken much longer to figure it out. It's easy to dismiss (especially given the hallucinations) but it's been legitimatly life changing over the last year

Maybe not specific advice for your situation but I've always found this poem moving and valuable when it comes to building comfort in being alone. I hope it helps you too https://youtu.be/k7X7sZzSXYs?si=LwCMyP0L2vsllHJl

> Why turn a junior into a senior yourself if you can get the competition to pay for it instead.

Reminds me a bit of the quote

The manager says "what if I train them and they leave?" And the response is "what if you don't and they stay". Leaving unskilled and underdeveloped people in you organization is a recipe for disaster.

I also see the argument as a macro one not a micro one. Some bubbles in aggregate create breeding grounds for innovation (Hobart's point) and throw off externalities (like cheap freight rail in the US from the railroad bubble) ala Carlota Perez. That's not to say that there isn't individual suffering when the bubble pops but I read the argument as "it's not wholy defined by the individual suffering that happens"

That assumes a certain kind of ad though. Even a "pu ch the monkey" style banner ad would be a start. I can't imagine they wouldn't be very careful not to give consumers the impression that their "thumb was on the scale" of what ads you see
