yeah, I think if AI is regarded as another potential tool with its own benefits and drawbacks, that's fine. Just stop selling it as the magical solution to all ills

I wrote a case study about a machine learning company working on reading X rays/CT scans, and a HUGE problem with this type of process is how hard it is to find training materials for things that aren’t clear cut. We don’t really need AI that can identify obvious negatives and positives.

yeah, I am very anti-AI in most cases but I think that's one of the few spots where there's some real promise.

also the higher ups are /really/ concerned about letting third parties have access to our bigger datasets for exactly this reason! we worked to collect this data and told participants it would be used in specific ways, "training a for-profit AI" is not on that list

some of the biostatisticians at work are chewing over the idea of incorporating AI/machine learning for some of our bigger datasets, but right now it's on the level of quality control stuff. /maybe/ a little further data exploration, but then that would get passed back to an actual human to check

this is a major problem with coverage of alcohol's public-health profile. i'm sympathetic to and interested in the case against the "red wine paradox" etc, but the relative scope of individual harm is often wildly out of whack with the outlet's framing, to no one's benefit.

As people from Massachusetts know, this was Ted Kennedy’s entire deal. I know so many people who called his office with a real problem (eviction, couldn’t afford college, problem with health insurance) and were told that someone was going to help them out, and then someone did.
