So Kwaku Ampadu-Nyarkoh Jr, the creator of TrichoLens (an “AI Trichologist”), can’t use AI to transcribe text from an image? Doesn’t inspire confidence in his offerings, TrichoLens is obviously a transparent scam like Folligenz and NoTimeRx / Biotica Consulting.

I love that scene in Good Will Hunting where Ben Affleck is talking to Matt Damon's titular character Will Hunting and he's like “you've got a gift man and you've gotta get outta this town and make something of yourself” and the gift in question is being really good at math and the town he needs to get out of is Boston, Massachusetts.

Guy Debord argued that modern life was increasingly being replaced by representations of itself. In 1994, he died by suicide. David Foster Wallace proposed sincerity as an escape from recursive irony. In 2008, he died by suicide. Mark Fisher wrote about the ghosts of futures that never arrived. In 2017, he died by suicide.
Now it is our turn to solve postmodernism.
I wasn’t joking about deleting his KwRx YouTube channel.
To their credit, his audience has stopped showing up as they realize he’s just pumping them for money after generating video scripts from ChatGPT.
Scamming is such short term thinking.

I think MoE models should tell you when the routing changes. "That question's a bit outside of my wheelhouse! Let me call in my friend, Professor Electromagnetics-and-Urban-Culture. Hey, fool! It's the Prof speaking! What the fuck is UP with these equations?"
Why attract so much attention to his black market operation? This is self-destructive narcissism.
He could delete his KwRx YouTube channel and nobody in the field would notice. Why waste 5 years not getting any credentials or building a real company?
I don’t get it.

Growing older is grappling with the realization that my schizophrenic relative with paranoid delusions has a higher hit rate than the people who dismiss him.
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.
Would almost treat this as stronger evidence that microneedling monotherapy works for hair health, unless someone wants to make a stronger case for chitosan
A challenge with trauma-based hormetic effects is creating a real world trial with internally valid controls and blinding

In 2019, neuroscientist Kelly Lambert and her team at the University of Richmond in the United States built something unusual: tiny cars for rats.
Each car was made from a clear plastic food container on wheels. Inside, there were three small copper bars. When a rat touched a bar with its paws, the car moved, and by choosing which bar to touch, the rat could steer left, right or straight.
The rats were rewarded with pieces of sweet cereal when they drove to a target.
They learned to drive. Over time, the researchers moved the treats farther away, and the rats learned to navigate the car across the enclosure to reach them.
Rats that had lived in more interesting, enriched environments learned faster. And when researchers measured hormones related to stress, they found signs that learning to drive may actually have helped the rats feel calmer.
He’s also a self-described “gymcel” (a subtype of incel), and explicitly advertises his drugs and services to looksmaxxers…one day I hope there’ll be a reckoning with all these influencers exploiting the insecurities of a young vulnerable audience.
The current landscape of progress in human health is scam artist influencers like Kwaku Ampadu-Nyarkoh Jr (Biotica Consulting LLC, TrichoLens, KwRx, Folligenz, NoTimeRx) attacking the actual people driving progress forward and feeling no shame.
If you’re wondering why the same enterprise has so many different names and none of the websites list founder names or any scientists/doctors on the team - this is a typical pattern for a black/gray market operation. You “phoenix” wherever PR gets bad or legal threats emerge.
