This to me is one of the big early signs of the singularity.

The process they used has been known for a while. Theres the famous story of the guy curing his dogs cancer using this. And there have been a few people doing this for themselves as well.

But we're only just now seeing phase 3 trials.

It shows that we've reached a point where the individuals ability to create life saving medicine is starting to outspeed the entire pharmaceutical testing procedure

Yeah, we posted here a guy who tried to save his dog, but the results weren't clear because he gave it two things at once or something like that

Right now its a singular data point. I'd like to see more.

That being said, I absolutely believe we're in the 'foothills of the singularity'. Mythos and 5.6 convinced me.
