Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • Simply using AI isn’t an issue… Allowing it to take over in a way that accelerates the removal of the knowledge from our pools of knowledge is a problem. Allowing companies to use AI as a direct replacement of actual medical professionals will remove knowledge from society. We already know that we can’t use AI to fuel more AI learning… the models implode. In order to continue learning more from medicine, we need to keep pushing for human learning and understanding.

    Funny that you agree with me and apparently see useful discussion to have here… but downvote me even though the comment certainly added to the discussion.

    Oh, and next time don’t put words into someone’s mouth, very much a bad faith action that harms meaningful discussion. I never said we should ban it or never use it. A better answer would be to legislate that doctors must still oversee, or must be the approving authority. That AI can never have a final say in someone’s care and that research must never be sourced from AI sources. All I said, is that if we continue what we’re doing and rely on AI in any meaningful capacity, we will run into problems. Especially in the context of the comment I responded to which opined upon corporation controlled AI.

    FFS… they can’t even run a vending machine. https://www.anthropic.com/research/project-vend-1

    Oh… and actually I would consider the 85% that it gets to be pretty poor considering that the AI was likely trained on the full breadth of NEJM information. Doctors don’t have that ability to retain and train on 100% of all knowledge of the NEJM, so mistaking things makes sense for them. It doesn’t make sense for something that was trained on NEJM data to screw up on an NEJM case.

    My stance is the same for all AI. I’ll use it to generate basic code for me. I’ll never run that without review. Or to jumpstart research into a topic… and validate the information presented with outside direct sources.

    TL;DR: Tool is good… Source is bad.











  • If your neighbour can also get symmetrical internet with a residential contract, then that would be the better example to prove his point wrong.

    Sure, but I don’t get their bill now do I?

    A business contract is not a good comparison because they usually are symmetrical for a premium price regardless of the quality of the residential internet in your area.

    Which was the point of me bringing it up… my price is likely higher than my neighbor. But I know that the same speeds are available. Symmetric.

    Once again though… Without more information we can’t actually compare but at face value… I pay 5.89 times for for presumably 8-80 times more speed. EVEN ON MY BUSINESS CONTRACT. Hard to say that their service is categorically better than mine…


  • He provided details about his non-business internet being symmetrical and YOU compared it to your business contract line, that’s literally how it started.

    To my residential house… of which my neighbor can get the same service, under a residential contract. Also they didn’t say if their internet was residential or not.

    The cost is to prove that Americans do not have easy access to the same level of internet his country has, which is his main point. You needed to purchase a business line to have it symmetrical, which is not accessible to the everyone.

    No. My neighbor can also get 8/8, under a different SLA as residential. I only provided “under business contract” because that changes the price.

    Just because you can pay 100 times the cost of healthcare in European countries to get high quality heathcare in America, it doesn’t mean the average American can afford to go to the hospital or that your healthcare system is just as good. The same thing applies to your internet.

    You’re not making a good look for your stance when you over hyperbolize the situation. I pay 5.89 times more… for what could be 8-80 times more speed. We don’t know because THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION.


  • You need to scroll up and pay attention.

    Them:

    My ISP offers symmetrical […] glad I’m not American

    Me:

    As someone living in America, I have great internet

    Them:
    <Requests direct information about cost>

    Me:
    <I oblige>

    Them:
    <makes a comparison without qualifying anything about the comparison, claiming theirs to be superior>

    Me:
    <calls it out>

    They provided no details at all… this whole engagement. We still don’t actually know what speeds they even get for their mere 28USD. Could be 100mbps and it would be significantly worse by ever metric than my 8gbps. I can’t compare my service to something that we have no details for.






  • Last time someone was worried about the security it was about knowing filenames of the stuff you host by brute forcing iirc

    Knowing (guessing) the file path allows them to access and stream the content. Meaning worst case scenario… Sony (the people known for putting malicious stuff on CDs) can probe your server, and prove the content is there because your server will return the movie file itself.
