  • As someone who works with integrating AI- it’s failing badly.

    At best, it’s good for transcription- at least until it hallucinates and adds things to your medical record that don’t exist. Which it does and when the providers don’t check for errors - which few do regularly- congrats- you now have a medical record of whatever it hallucinated today.

    And they are no better than answering machines for customer service. Sure, they can answer basic questions, but so can the automated phone systems.

    They can’t consistently do anything more complex without making errors- and most people are frankly too dumb or lazy to properly verify outputs. And that’s why this bubble is so huge.

    It is going to pop, messily.






  • As someone who works in tech, currently testing AI integration into healthcare EHR- the current state of AI is simply not safe for anything outside transcription- and even that is error prone without strict re-reading (not scanning!) for error correction.

    The errors can be subtle but life threatening. I highly recommended against integrating it - but the most lazy providers were already using AI illegally for their notes so this was seen as a middle road.

    Medical care and provider training in the USA is not ok right now, and getting worse. AI and misinformation is accelerating the decline.


  • I didn’t make the original statement, which sounds more like hyperbole than specific, legal, actions.

    From experience I can tell you that I have personally encountered cyclists disobeying the law and endangering my safety more than any other non-car transport.

    See, I was an endurance rider for most of my life. Meaning I spent long hours, 3-4 days a week on trails, on horseback, moving at speed.

    On these trails, cyclists are required to stop and move to the side when they hear or see an equestrian.

    The number of times they did this, over 20 years as an equestrian? 4.

    The number of times they didn’t? Dozens, possibly over a hundred.

    The number of times it caused a wreck and people got hurt? 3.

    Cyclists whine about horse poop and having to stop, but WE maintained those trails, they did nothing other than whine and cause accidents.

    I’m sure there’s some of you that are not complete tools, but there’s a reason you are despised by all other users of trail systems.


  • Choosing to believe in one set of imaginary friends over another- or none- is most certainly a hobby by every definition.

    It is not essential for life. It is not required by law. People willingly choose and actively continue choosing to engage in the activities in their free time, and report positive feelings from doing so. When doubts arise, other members of the cult try hard to sway them to stay, often using threats. That’s a hobby. And a cult.
