Remember 100 years ago when radiation was new and exciting and poorly understood, and companies were putting radiation into everything?

@gilester45 @artnacrea @cammerman In the 80s
@1000millimeter @artnacrea @cammerman Yeah - they were around for longer than people seem to think. Or, perhaps my little backwater town didn't get the memo about them being a terrible idea.

@cammerman remeber 50 years ago when asbestos was new and exiting and poorly understood, and companies were putting asbestos into everything?
Thankfully we learned our lesson and will never make that mistake again.
@4censord @cammerman AI = Asbestos Incarnate

@sillyCoelophysis But there are certain fandoms that just aren't worth even accidentally brushing up against.

@ZenHeathen fair point, but it's kind of the AI jerks that did the brushing up against. You're just admitting to getting the reference.

@sillyCoelophysis As I called out the trend of such references, though, it was like putting out bait to attract "well, actually"s. Nobody needs that kind of reply guy.

..and before that it was cocaine...
#cocaine in #CocaCola, cough-syrup, etc...
Yeah it cures everything....Way before that it was fire. Burning solves everything ... #heresy, #eternalDamnation, #witches..
#humankind is basically a six year old with a hammer.. every new thing is a nail for a minute....

Radium is just but one element on the periodic table, all isotopes of which being highly unstable. There's noting evil nor good about it.
The things the tech bros name their "creations" after are deliberately constructed as such evils.
@datenwolf @ZenHeathen @cammerman
Radon "AI" would be more appropriate because it seeps into f*king everything *especially* where it's unwanted...

@kf7ccc @cammerman Guaranteed to kill all insects and vermin.
...well, it will do that, yes.

THEY will never do the mistake again. The one who died of cancer, I mean.

@cammerman Frankly, given their penchant for naming their companies and products after evil lately, I'm quite surprised there isn't a "Radium AI" out there.
They could call tokens Röntgens.

@cammerman DDT was like that. They used to drive trucks through neighborhoods spraying the stuff and kids would chase it and play in the fog.

Thalidomide was a big winner, too.It works for multiple myeloma;

I know…and for leprosy, too. Doesn’t undo the harm it did before the big “oops!”I wouldn't call it an "oops", it was a different time when tragic outcomes were how you identified problems with medications unfortunately;
"Testing in rodent models failed to establish a median lethal dose and the drug was generally believed to be nontoxic to humans [Lenz, 1988]. In contrast to the extensive testing performed today, in that era formal testing for harmful teratogenic effects was not undertaken. Soon available worldwide, the drug became popular for its anti-emetic effect in pregnant woman suffering with morning sickness. Much of the drug's popularity was due to its wide availability as it was accessible without prescription and also relatively inexpensive."
But it specifically changed the way the FDA does regulation;
"A lasting impact of these tragic events has been in the positive change in the drug regulation process. Problems with animal models and inefficiencies in the pharmaceutical agent approval process were rectified by new legislation which revamped the #FDA regulatory process, expanded patient informed consent procedures and called for more transparency from drug manufacturers. "
Of course the current administration wants less regulation everywhere so we can anticipate future problems going forward.
