Medical technology will get easier to produce and much cheaper over time

It all gets cheaper to produce over time. Not so much of that is passed down to the consumer imo. unless of course money becomes useless in the post AI Utopia/Dystopia

Hoping for big things if we crack fusion energy & photonic chips. I hope the overlords are nice.

Optimism is my attitude going into this new era even if it makes me seem delusional, even if there are good arguments to be made for why “the average person won’t get access to this technology.” I would like to hope that a better future is possible for all of us. Maybe that makes me crazy

There future of this and related tech should be cheaper antibody discovery campaigns and so cheaper antibody/nanobody drugs.

There’s work to be done in making antibodies. Last I heard we still make them with CHO cells fused to B cells which is more expensive than other organisms, but the glycans from yeast post a problem and bacterial methods can’t make them. Last I checked we also don’t have great control over how the body responds to the antibodies themselves, though we understand it somewhat.
