I Think the Birth Rate will go back up in the U.S. when Young Women Today Finally Realize Beauty and Attractiveness is in their DNA Along with Child Bearing .
Another story I remember very well is when one of these drugs were a literal lobotomy pill, and it was making a girl very aggressive. The parent took her off the medication because of all the anger rage and other issues that it was causing (paralysis). The school reported it to the psychiatrist who reported it as 'child abuse'. (This right here is why I remember this story - first time ever seeing one). It was so bad that the military got involved in the parental upbringing of this girl and drove a tank down a busy main street. (It could of been LA - almost 100% certain it was California though the video of it was insane and it was plastered all over the news that a parent was holding her kid hostage denying her 'life saving medication'.) So well obviously when the tank showed up at her house, she eventually gave in. I believe it was like 2-3 hours she kept her door closed based on reports. They took her kid forcibly from her house placed the kid in public care(the system). The mom petitioned the court for 2-3 YEARS, and finally got her child back and the courts ordered the state couldn't make medical decisions. But it was to late, the child was 100% paralyzed. Never made a recovery.

Still doesn't change my mind about your opinion at all.
AI went from 178 billion parameters to 100 trillion parameters in about a 6 month time span.
The ability of AI wen't up enormously. It's intelligence went up enormously. If you think differently then you are completely wrong. This isn't some chess AI that has prefigured all possible moves and stored them into memory.
This is trained much more like a human brain. Stops and starts. Go and stop. That's why it can "hallucinate".

Well, something is happening... here we have the latest available death figures for the USA for 2022 about three and a half million died. www.cdc.gov... Then we have the figures for the year 2000.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...#:~:text=Methods%3A%20In%202000%20a%20total,reported%20on%20the%20death%20certificates. Which looks like two and a half million died in that year. So it looks like the death rate has gone up a third thats thirty three and a third percent. So either something really big happened, or people are just not as healthy as they were back in 2000. The rise seems to have started around 2015 as the two-and-a-half million was steady until then and seemed to gain greater momentum. That's just from a Google search ..So five-year averages can be misleading .

If you look at the death rate for 2000 compared to 2022 and compare the population the death rate has gone up by a third it would be logical if the population went up by a third. But by memory, the population of the USA was about two hundred and eighty million, and in 2022 three hundred and thirty-one million. So something is knocking off the population at an increasing rate.

Suddenly you have the shock horror announcement by Elon Musk that he is saying that in twenty years we will have a manpower shortage. You have Russel brand quoting the BBC on the figures that Musk is producing, the BBC only moves with top-level authority. This would be in line with an excuse for the reason for a population decline, having to be publicly acknowledged because, for the average punter, it would become obvious. As anyone trying for a baby now seems to have severe fertility problems with sperm mobility etc. I have no doubt that the shot has had a fertility effect, but it is the degree of deniability and occlusion as to the reasons which point to something suspicious occurring. Fertility has been falling but now it is plummeting.
