So initial experiments with Open AI's vibe-coding science tool Prism are going about as well as expected.

In 1922, insulin co-discoverer Frederick Banting refused to profit from the discovery and offered it to the world as a global public good. Today, many people with diabetes still don't have access to affordable and quality treatment and care.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

We need to get over this notion that existing social media platforms are at all necessary. Tech billionaires created them for profit, then sold them as socially beneficial even as they continually eroded any real benefits. disconnect.blog/x-shows-why-...

Uh… check out what ChatGPT allegedly told a man before he killed his mother and then himself. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Google “said its AI Overviews, which use generative AI to provide snapshots of essential information about a topic or question, are ‘helpful’ and ‘reliable’”. “…some of the summaries, which appear at the top of search results, served up inaccurate health information and put people at risk of harm.”

Corrupt tech billionaires are buying power to tilt the world in their favor. Even the co-founder of Y Combinator is saying it. ⬇️ The radical death cult rising from Silicon Valley venture capital is metastasizing rapidly. It's an existential threat to democracy and humanity.

AI isn't producing new information. AI isn't doing science. AI isn't adding to the frontiers of knowledge. It is simply regurgitating an aggregate of words and pretending that this constitutes things already known.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

I understand there is a market for steel from ships that sank before 1945 because it is unpolluted by radiation from atom bombs. Perhaps we will soon demand references from papers printed before 2025 and the great information pollution disaster

Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist. I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵

We are living at a time when university leadership amplifies anti-intellectual tropes and technologies These are very troubling times

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I think we need to see more studies about the real and/or perceived benefits of AI in medicine. My bet is that the hype greatly exceeds the reality, except for limited areas. Happy to be wrong though.

The fact that AI will give you something that *looks like* an answer is a terrible characteristic of AI. The answers to most questions is not known (especially in medicine) and pretending that the answer is known is just dishonest.

The same applies to medicine. Rich people will have human doctors. Poor people will have LLMs

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

This benefit applies for closure with direct suture or with surgical device (Atriclip) as well. The important detail to achieve electrical isolation is the formation of a transmural scar. So amputation can be done, but is optional.

2/ Die nachträgliche Behauptung, es sei um Über- & Fehlbehandlung gegangen, ist durchschaubar. Wer Hochbetagten Therapien streichen will, weil sie angeblich „zu teuer“ sind, spart nicht an Fehlanreizen, sondern an Menschen. Das ist mit Medizin, Ethik & Grundgesetz unvereinbar.

For a surgeon who knows about the variability of LAA anatomy this is no surprise. Even after surgical removal of LAA , there remains a risk of thrombus formation. You do not withdraw ACO. Not all thrombus build up in LAA. The atrium has more folds and crests.
