Good.

And we don’t even use them effectively to protect our rights.

AI and autonomous drones enters the chat.

In this particular use case, no. The LLM not only transcribes, but it summarizes, drafts, and categorizes as well (ICD-10 codes, cross-referencing medical history, etc.).

Very useful for overworked and under-resourced healthcare workers.

Look, AI bolt-ons to existing software and processes often do suck. But this specific instance is a real positive use-case.

Every technology has a place where it’s useful - with LLMs, it’s just mostly been “let’s throw it at everything.” In most cases, it’ll fall away as useless, and a few cases, it’ll stick where it really adds value.

AI is a mixed bag, and a whole lot of hype.

But voice-to-text auto-generation of patient notes during dr visits will be a huge win for the medical profession. Data entry by doctors and nurses will be cut down 10x (just review what the software transcribed, make edits, and sign off).

Split the difference at 30 minutes, and call it a day!

Good.

I got banned for saying we should punch Nazis, and calling Musk a cunt.

I regret nothing.

Russia should mind her own business at home and focus on making Russia great.

i.e., start with social programs, well-regulated markets, infrastructure, education, agriculture, and so on. Clean up corruption. Establish rule of law. Create prosperity through innovation and creativity and enterprise.

Make Russia such a great place to live, that it becomes the envy of the world, and Westerners want to immigrate there.

Seems they can’t build, only destroy. Not create, only steal. Like the orcs they are.

I don’t know anything about politics in Turkey.

But now I know who to support; if Elon hates him, he’s my guy.

Black comedy/gallows humor is a thing.

You don’t need to be so uptight. Nobody’s actually advocating for the murder of children here.

Not one bit. That language was way too soft.

Australia, I know y’all can throw better and harsher insults. Please bring it.

Ugh, iRobot too. So now I’ve got to replace my Ring doorbell and get rid of my expensive robot vacuum and mop. Damnit.

Oh well, I can vacuum and mop by hand.

Fortunately, our Alexa devices are gone, Audible has been cancelled, our Kindles have been replaced, Amazon Prime, Amazon Kids, and Amazon Prime Video subscriptions are cancelled, and I just got my old photos copied down from Amazon Photos yesterday. So, I think I’m good to delete my Amazon account altogether.

I didn’t see thriftbooks on the list, so that’s a relief.

It is the rural areas.

I’m in rural TN, and the Trump cult is embedded deep here.

I get to look out my bedroom window and see Trump flags every morning.
