The American consumer is the worst-behaved, most deranged, most thievery-prone they’ve ever been in history. “The customer is always right” thinking is endemic. Roving bands of Karens are straight-up assaulting workers. People want everything for free and figure “gratis” means “loot an entire two-armed carry.” Not to even get started on the fucking shoplifting!
When people abuse a privilege, you take the privilege away, from everyone. It’s pretty simple. If you want a retail experience where you feel privileged and taken care of then you need to be going to places that have some kind of mechanism to keep the hoi polloi away. A membership fee, an unusual location, some kind of barrier to entry.
But cancers aren’t generally random mutations; they’re specific mutations to specific genes (oncogenes) that tend to be associated with cell replication and planned cell death.
So it actually does make sense that you can target cancer mutations, since you’re looking at a fairly small set of mutations (about 300, I think.) In any case, the body destroying its own pre-cancerous cells is an important mechanism for day-to-day cancer prevention that’s already working in people, so it makes sense to try to strengthen and broaden the response.
Does she always look the same? That’s been the issue with generating character-based content via AI; it’s hard to get the model to generate the same, uh, model.
