Finally, after having played all three games, I got to read the book that started it all.

Of course, I had to read all of Geralt's lines in @dougcockle.bsky.social 's voice 🤌🏽

Read Žižek's 'Trouble in Paradise' (2014), and unfortunately, over a decade later, there's still trouble in paradise.

Professor loses two years of work thanks to one ChatGPT setting: 'At that moment, all of my chats were permanently deleted and the project folders were emptied' And you screamed, right?

Maybe this was done so that he could get a Nature publication 🤷🏽

But on a serious note: "[this] case reveals a fundamental weakness: these tools were not developed with academic standards of reliability and accountability in mind." 🧪

Technology in 2050 - experts give their predictions We asked several experts to predict the technology we'll be using by 2050

To explore the future, it's always worth contemplating what it will look like practically. This BBC article is a great example.

I like how experts think digital twins will be used to explore how "different medications or lifestyle changes affect your unique biology". 🧪

Smart glasses have come a long way since the Google Glass. They are sleeker, more assistive and less intrusive, especially those not made by Meta.

If AI glasses enhance healthcare accessibility, we may see a future where remote diagnostics and patient monitoring are the norm, transforming patient care. #futurism

The technology can have profound impact on healthcare and I take an academic lens on the topic.

Sure, Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse is dead (for now) but the concept has endured well before his marketing push and still does in the realm of extended reality.

Healthcare and the Metaverse: Reimagined or Refragmentation of Care? <p>From virtual waiting rooms to AI-driven digital twins that predict adverse conditions, the metaverse promises to reimagine the very concept of healthcare. However, the new types of seamless digital...

I tend to merge my professional and personal interests in my writing; and this has never been more so than in my latest paper.

In 'Healthcare and the Metaverse', I contemplate the delicate balancing act of the "metaverse" in reimagining or refragmenting care. 🧪

For a book that spun out of a pun about a Shan, Lord of Light is a pretty captivating one. Roger Zelazny crafts a unique world that draws from Hinduism. While not as extensive in world building as Dune, there are parallels in both of these science fiction epics.

The Evolution Of Portable ECGs - The Medical Futurist

ECGs started as machines that weighed over 600 pounds & have now become as small as wrist-worn devices. We can expect it to evolve further to become smaller and smarter. My latest takes a pulse on the #ECG evolution timeline. 🧪 #healthcare #digitalhealth #future

Hideo Kojima relatably says job-hunting made him 'feel like I was a Showa-era detective trying to solve a murder,' and he almost became a no-name pharma guy but for some kind words from a HR person "Everybody was hiding their true selves; we could only act like chameleons trying to change our colors to adapt to each of the companies we were applying for."

"A place where lies meet lies, that's what interviews actually are."

Just @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp casually laying out as it is. 🫰🏽

From what @obsidianent.bsky.social 's Grounded 2 offers so far in Early Access, it seems to keep the creative, whimsical spirit of the first game with improvements and new additions that make the sequel feel larger and shinier (when it’s not lagging or buggy). More 👇🏽
