I’d like you to meet the Democratic Party. They’ve said they appreciate your enthusiasm, but they’re going to “take the high road” and hope that they can just leave things as they are and pray things don’t get even worse when they lose next time.

I am an unabashed fan of Ghostbusters 2016. The scene with Holtzmann and the pistols gives me tingles. Kevin is just a gem.

Won’t someone think of the shares???

I still wouldn’t put it past an ICE agent that “likes all kinds of music, except hip-hop”

I really really really really want to see in the news soon that this person still got disappeared by ICE for being the wrong color.

The guy has always been a piece of shit so I’m glad more people are learning this.

It would be 40/60, not 33.3/66.7, if chlorine is 50% heavier.

You gave values for chlorine being 100% heavier, or sodium being 50% the mass of chlorine.

Just a drive-by ackshually. Carry on.

I’m not a biologist, but why is the safety threshold for humans less than 1/6 the concentration as for rats, other than “if a rat dies we’re pretty okay with that”?

What did I JUST tell you about knowledge

I used to be addicted. I still am, but I used to, too.

His signature even looks like “LOL”

This thread is weirdly heartwarming. The internet brings its power to bear to help a poor stranger stim like they’ve never stimmed before.

Transphobes HATE this single DNA tweak!

Gotta love how they decry DEI yet love parading around people of color they can convince to shill their hate.

He achieved REM stage at least once…

Too many billionaires are salivating over the latter.

Exactly. People keep shoehorning Large Language Models into non-linguistic domains, and that’s dangerous. Human language, with respect to the training sets used, is inherently subjective and imperfect. Healthcare is very fault-intolerant.

It doesn’t replace any individual directly. It improves one person’s capability to the extent that there may be fewer needed to do a job. And that’s not a bad thing in my opinion, especially because it can improve the quality of that person’s work at the same time.

Edit to elaborate: I am opposed to replacing humans with AI in general. AI is a tool. But if that tool can empower someone to do more and better work, then I’m not opposed. Using stolen intellectual property to replace creatives with an inherently non-creative slop machine is greedy and evil. Using machine learning trained on medical data sets to let a radiologist more comprehensively and deeply review a frankly overwhelming amount of data to better save lives? I’m cool with that. But I also think that, in line with my stance that AI is a tool, there will likely be a well-trained human operating these tools for a long time before radiologists cease to exist.

For what it’s worth, “AI” in this context is probably not the content-stealing Generative AI that everyone is trying to cram everywhere it doesn’t belong. This is a much more legitimate application of a similar technology.

I’m not mad about the idea of AI in radiology because it’s a really good fit. A human radiologist can’t compare a hundred similar slices and cross-correlate possible anomalies, whereas AI can. This improves detection and outcomes and is exactly where medical technology is supposed to help.

That said, I don’t think we’ll replace radiologists across the board for a long time. This will be a very useful tool and will probably reduce the number of radiologists required and modify their roles significantly, but it’ll be more like how a single worker with editing software can do work that would have required a small team in the pre-digital days of film.

The Venn diagram is starting to disagree more and more these days.
