The American healthcare system is clearly failing us.

Thanks for the mention!

Good timing too as the FDA yesterday released its updated list of AI-enabled medical devices that have received marketing authorization.

How about checking into a new hotel on a business trip and spending the next 2 hours trying to get your laptop to connect to the internet via dialup?

But, can it make us More Human than Human (shoutout to Rob Zombie)?

It may be time for me to upgrade!
