As AI enters the operating room, reports arise of botched surgeries and misidentified body parts Medical device makers have been rushing to add AI to their products. While proponents say the new technology will revolutionize medicine, regulators are receiving a rising number of claims of patient ...

Well, that’s terrifying.

Fascinating. Either they’re lying or AI is far less useful than promised (or both!)

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

‘Dangerous and alarming’: Google removes some of its AI summaries after users’ health put at risk Guardian investigation finds AI Overviews provided inaccurate and false information when queried over blood tests

For the thousandth time, AI is not a reliable source of health information.

Okay, but this is dumb? You can’t give a computer therapy. It’s not a person. It’s responding with a summary of actual people’s respondes, not what it “thinks.”

Google Just Stuffed a Bunch of New AI Into Your Gmail Heard you like inboxes. Well, you're getting an "AI Inbox" in your inbox.

I can write my own damn emails.

what's going to happen is poor people are going to be relegated to the apartheid of "AI"-only health care and the rich will be the only ones who get to receive care from an expert human.

I haven’t seen the show, but your argument about the futility of Walt’s actions seems quite valid - Walt was never really in control of events, however much he tried.

I agree with your take, but I also think that a lot of people thought that their cable had gone out at the worst possible moment.

AI lies, chapter 1,324:

News at 11 - AI not popular with the vast majority of consumers.

Next year, AIs will have memory through continual learning. This means they can have experiences, trauma, and fractional consciousness. AIs will deserve rights. AIs should be able to own assets, run a corporation and vote in elections by 2030 IMO

it’s hard to think of a bigger grift than the claim that predictive text aka gAI is ‘conscious’ and thus “deserve rights” like the ability to vote

Marxists: AI is a technology for capital to crush labor power and take control of everything.

This week's criminal indictment of Chu described internal Tricolor discussions during the company's August implosion about how to assign blame to the company's lenders, using as a playbook the litigation that arose out of the collapse of Enron, the energy trading company riven by accounting fraud. According to Tricolor emails produced in the civil complaint, Chu and Goodgame studied the Enron precedent by quizzing Grok, the AI model developed by Elon Musk's xAI. "Enron raises the blood pressure of the lender when they see that... It, it has to, right? ... Cause who wants to be thrown in the category?" Chu allegedly said to colleagues in August, according to the complaint.

Reading about Tricolor, a subprime auto lender that went under after it turned out it was a massive fraud scheme where they double pledged collateral to loans and falsified receivables. Their CEO literally asked Grok how to get through the collapse “like Enron”

LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems LG says it’ll let people delete the Copilot icon. But TV chatbots aren’t going away.

Oh, great: “With a chatbot involved, smart TV owners will be subject to complicated smart TV privacy policies and terms of service, as well as the similarly verbose rules of third-party AI companies. This will make it harder for people to understand what data they’re sharing with companies.”

When AI runs a vending machine: “Around the same time, Claudius approved the purchase of a PlayStation 5, a live betta fish and bottles of Manischewitz wine—all of which arrived and were promptly given away for free. By then, Claudius was more than $1,000 in the red.”

As a professional *human* audiobook narrator, this is a huge help.

The more we can push back against the use of AI becoming "inevitable", because it is no such thing, the better off every single person and the planet will be.
