>>12219377>Depends in your goal.My goal is to sell my product while facilitating the right balance of regulatory theater, ritual, and plausible deniability to make it profitable, minimal risk, and sustainable as possible. The fate of the patient is only relevant so far as his perception of his treatment and the basis of his lot in life (for which he has sought out treatment).
>Remote where?Really depends, honestly. I would probably be limited at first to trials by large institutions, specialized surgeries for which there is no local surgeon who is competent to carry it out, cases like covid where people are kept apart and commuting is halted. Gradually however the inputs to the equipment can be captured and used to train a (managed) neural network. This in parallel with other more specific programming would facilitate automation, which I'm sure we can test out on prisoners and people in developing nations. Whether it would become the norm is another matter. People who are in their late 20's onward today, overall, would probably never trust it/ But the following generations would be raised with the notion from birth.
>This implies surgeons will learn to code. Their inputs will be captured and recorded as described above, and some will be paid to train the programmer how to train the software. There are also some people who'll understand aspects of both. Perfection isn't required, they're just patients. You can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs along the way.
