They claimed to be working on technology that would allow for on the spot testing of 100+ conditions through a single drop. They partnered with Walgreens I believe (a partnership that was recently broken off) to install these testing machines in their stores. i wonder how much money there is in exploiting people's irrational fear of needles

That said, have another beyond-parody article: http://www.wired.co.uk/article/lsd-microdosing-drugs-silicon-valley "Under pressure to perform, Silicon Valley champions are taking tiny hits of LSD before heading to work. Are they risking their health or optimising it?"

The high-pressure startup culture of the Bay Area leads many participants to view their bodies and brains as machines to be optimised using all of the tools available - meditation, yoga, Soylent, intermittent fasting, so-called "smart drugs" (including off-label ADHD and narcolepsy meds), microdosed psychedelics and legal nootropics. "Mental creativity and performance is how people make their career here in Silicon Valley," says Geoff Woo, the CEO at Nootrobox, which makes legal supplements claimed to boost cognitive function. "I liken professionals in industries like tech and finance to professional athletes. A slight edge over the competition can make or break the team, product and business."

Vox Nihili posted:most tech workers actually get paid pretty well tho when you compare the amount of money they make for their employers (approximately an order of magnitude more) and the hours and lifestyle they are expected to adopt, it is exploitation all the same. what's a 6 figure salary mean in terms of quality of life to a person with a 70 hour workweek? and this is to say nothing of the downward spiral of compensation. I'm understanding that positions that were once compensated 100k are now down to 40k a year. expect that to become a trend as the labor pool expands thanks to people being sold the idea that STEM degrees are the hot ticket item to a decent paycheck.

STEM is already severely bloated, at least at the college level. In the next two years look forward to media outlets and pundits blaming people with STEM for their own misery and underemployment. I'm just not certain what the new, flavor of the month major is going to be.

once they have been made to understand their situation, the stem-lords will come together and use their superior rational brains to build a distributed ai-run bot network to run an army of freedom fighting drones to overthrow capitalism. or maybe, probably, they will starve in the dark with the rest of us.
