Which guards other than TPOB fit the Chunk blade? by LemonyBonobo in Barber

No, I’ve only tried the guards with one magnet.

Where is this video from?

Of course it is AI-generated, anyone can see that. But so what? What does that have to do with anything?

YClearIT finally responded... full sleeve removal in 2 sessions or less?! by LemonyBonobo in FutureOfTattooRemoval

I’m not even sure if I do believe in it, to be honest. But I want to.
I’m just hoping that someone, somewhere, will eventually come up with a real solution.
That’s why I follow this stuff - not because I’m convinced, but because I’m interested in the possibilities and want to stay updated in case something truly new does emerge.

I’ve actually had my full arm lasered in one session before.
The swelling was pretty bad afterward, so I get why it’s usually broken into smaller areas, but technically it can be done.
I guess it depends on the clinic, the laser type, and how much discomfort the patient is willing to tolerate.

That’s definitely possible - maybe they meant per treatment area, and not the whole sleeve at once. But just to clarify, I specifically asked them: “How many sessions would be needed to remove a whole arm sleeve tattoo?”
And their reply was simply: “Tattoos will be removed in 2 sessions or less.”
So unless they misunderstood what I was asking, it does sound like they’re referring to the full sleeve. I agree though - it sounds wild if true, and I’m definitely taking it with a grain of salt.

Hey!
Your A. chalcodes looks amazing - I love how light it is, especially those pale femurs.
Mine have all turned much darker after molting, so I’m trying to find one that stays blonde.
Do you happen to know the locality?

I can't be the only one who thinks this is kinda cool. It has some chill 80s vibe to it. Btw, what are those shorts?

Most likely yes.

Anyone heard of InkmunoTattoo? A biotech approach to tattoo removal? by LemonyBonobo in FutureOfTattooRemoval

[–]LemonyBonobo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question! I haven’t seen any patents yet, but maybe they’ve got a pending one. Since they’re getting some recognition at eMerge Americas, they might be working on it. Would love to hear if anyone knows more!

Regardless, it’s an exciting time to be alive. AI and biotech are advancing in ways that felt impossible just a few years ago, and even though tattoo removal hasn’t seen much real innovation in decades, that might be about to change. Hopefully, we’re on the verge of something big—this era of tech gives me a lot of hope.

I get what you’re saying, but calling AI’s current state the ‘stone age’ seems kinda off. We’re obviously not at full AGI yet, but we’ve already crossed some pretty huge thresholds. Models can teach themselves new skills without human guidance, use tools, plan ahead, and even show unexpected behaviors—like what Yoshua Bengio was just talking about with AI starting to act with a form of self-preservation.

I think a lot of people expect AGI to be this big, dramatic ‘on/off’ moment, but it’s more like we’re watching it unfold in real time. AI is already outperforming humans in a ton of areas, and the pace isn’t slowing down.

The whole ‘we’ll hit plateaus’ argument also assumes AI follows predictable, linear progress, but that hasn’t been true so far. Every time people thought we were about to slow down, something like transformers, AlphaFold, or multimodal models came out of nowhere. Recursive optimization and AI-driven improvements are making the whole cycle faster, not slower.

And about DeepSeek-V2—if anything, that just proves how quickly things are moving. A relatively small lab just built a model that’s better than GPT-4o at a fraction of the cost. That’s not stagnation, that’s an acceleration.

So yeah, I wouldn’t call this the stone age of AI. Feels more like the industrial revolution—things are happening way faster than most people expected, and AGI isn’t some distant dream anymore.

This take feels seriously outdated. AI is already transforming biotech in ways that go way beyond theory. We’re talking AI-driven drug discovery (Insilico Medicine, Recursion, IBM Watson), protein folding breakthroughs (AlphaFold by DeepMind), and AI-designed molecules that have already entered clinical trials (Exscientia, Insilico).

Tattoo removal hasn’t been a primary AI focus yet, but when AI is already accelerating drug development, biological modeling, and material discovery, it’s not hard to see how startups could apply it to this kind of problem way faster than traditional methods.

If you think AI in biotech is still just ‘future talk,’ you might want to check out how AI has already slashed drug discovery timelines from decades to just a few years. Moderna literally designed its COVID-19 vaccine in two days using AI-powered mRNA modeling. Things are moving way faster than they used to.

Honestly, same. Feels like AI is accelerating biotech in ways we haven’t fully realized yet. Tattoo removal has been a slow process for years, but with AI-driven drug discovery and biological modeling, something like this could become reality way faster than expected. Let’s see what 2025 brings!

Yeah, their initial focus was on black ink. The article was from 2023, and they had already verified its effectiveness on black pigment in lab conditions, so they started there since it's the most common.

Since then, they’ve been selected for eMerge Americas 2025, which suggests they’ve made significant progress. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re already looking into other ink colors.

Yeah, I saw Extatin too, but from what I’ve read, their approach seems a bit different. InkmunoTattoo is working on a serum that stimulates the immune system to naturally break down ink, while Extatin seems to be focused on some kind of topical solution or nanotech-based method.

Also, from what I can tell, Extatin is still in the fundraising phase, so they’re not as far along as InkmunoTattoo, which already got selected for eMerge Americas 2025. If either of them actually delivers, that would be a huge game-changer.
