Given the chronic disease crisis that's been accelerating for years, we'd be damn fools for not questioning everyone in healthcare. Clearly these "professionals" don't know what's going, or they are maliciously making it worse. F*ck their fragile egos, they need to own their failures.

@Curious_Signal It's the same with psychology - any concept you encounter triggers self-reflection.

@OwenGregorian In my new role as production manager, I'm learning that too. It doesn't matter who I'm talking to, I'm finding it useful to provide context, fill in some backstory, and/or just repeat myself in different words. In other words, human communication.

You never learned to delegate. AI just made it obvious. | Jeroen Sangers You finish the day with thirty things still on your list. You ask your AI assistant to prepare a summary of the week’s meetings to send to the team. You give it five minutes, trust the output, and hit send. The next day, three replies. None positive. What went wrong? Not the AI. The AI did exactly what you asked. The problem is what you asked, how you asked it, and what you expected without saying so. The human buffer When you delegate to a person, they fill in the gaps. They read the context, ask questions, assume what you probably meant. They patch your incomplete instructions with their experience and goodwill. Decades of working with people have trained you to rely on this buffer. You learned to delegate just well enough that a capable human could save you from yourself. So you never had to confront the actual quality of your instructions. The person you delegated to quietly filled in what was missing, and the work got done. You assumed you were a decent delegator. You probably were not. Neither am I. AI strips away the buffer AI assistants do not do this. They execute. They take your instructions at face value and produce output that reflects, without any filter, exactly what you asked for. That is genuinely useful information. If the output is wrong, the instruction was wrong. And now you can see it. Before AI, bad delegation was invisible. The person you delegated to absorbed the cost of your vagueness. They spent extra time figuring out what you meant, made judgment calls you never knew about, and delivered something that looked like what you wanted. The sloppiness was hidden in the process. With AI, the sloppiness becomes the output. And it lands in your inbox, or your client’s inbox, or your team’s inbox, before you catch it. This is not a technology problem. It is a delegation problem that technology has finally made visible. What good delegation actually requires Delegating well to a person or to a machine requires the same three things. First: you need to know what you want. Not in vague terms (“a good summary”) but specifically. What is the purpose of this summary? Who is reading it? What decision should it inform? What should it not include? If you cannot answer these questions before delegating, the person or the AI will have to guess. Humans are better at guessing. That is their advantage. It is also why you never noticed you were not answering these questions. Second: you need to explain it clearly. Knowing what you want is not enough if you cannot translate that into a brief that someone else can act on. This is the craft part of delegation, and it is a skill most people have never deliberately practiced. We learn it accidentally, from working with patient colleagues who trained themselves to read our minds. Third: you need to know how to verify the result. Before you send anything, you need a moment of “does this actually do what I said I needed?” That verification step requires you to reconnect with your original intent, and it only works if that intent was clear in the first place. None of this is new. It is just more urgent now. Why everyone suddenly needs this skill Delegation and management were once skills for people who had teams. You needed direct reports, collaborators, employees before these competencies became relevant to your daily work. Most knowledge workers navigated their entire careers without seriously developing them. That changed. If you work with AI in any meaningful way, you are now managing something. You are setting direction, communicating intent, and evaluating output. The same skills apply, and the same gaps get exposed. The democratization of AI is also the democratization of management. Every individual contributor who uses an AI assistant is, in some small way, now a manager. And most of them are starting where managers have always started: thinking they are better at it than they are. The good news is that the feedback loop is faster. When you delegate to a person and the output is wrong, it might take days to surface. When you delegate to AI and the output is wrong, you see it in seconds. That speed is a gift, if you use it as a learning signal rather than as evidence that AI does not work. Making it better The path forward is not complicated, but it requires being honest about where the problem actually lives. When AI produces bad output, resist the instinct to blame the model. Ask instead: what did I actually ask for? Read your prompt as if someone else wrote it. Is it specific? Does it include the context the assistant would need to make the right judgment calls? Does it describe what success looks like? Then revise the prompt, not as a workaround, but as a genuine attempt to articulate what you want. This is the work. It is uncomfortable because it forces you to think more carefully than you are used to before you delegate. But it is also exactly the habit that will make you better at delegating to people, not just to AI. Over time, you will get faster at it. You will develop a sense for what information needs to be in a prompt versus what can be assumed. You will learn where AI needs explicit context and where it can be trusted to fill in reasonable defaults. This is not prompt engineering in the technical sense. It is delegation skill.

My husband @flowidealism went to the University of Chicago to do his PhD specifically to prove the free market economists wrong. He was that committed. He became depressed for two years... Because he learned he'd been lied to his entire life. He went looking for ammunition and came back converted.  Most people avoid that risk. They'd rather keep believing something comfortable than find out it's wrong, because once you see it, you can't go back to not seeing it.

@kevinnbass The authoritarians are trying to elevate the potential harms of AI into a crisis. The scam is a classic Crisis and Leviathan power grab play. Read the book, see the pattern. An imaginary Crisis as an excuse to build Leviathan, i.e., big government.

Tyranny starts with safety. That is why powerful actors and institutions are obsessed with AI safety. Under the pretext of AI safety, they want to trick the public into giving them power over AI. Once they have power over AI, they will betray the public and use AI for tyranny.

To write this without even thinking about WHY it may be that people “argue” with health “professionals,” setting aside the events of the past decade — none of these other professions are so intimately tied to your very EXISTENCE on this planet. So ya, we are going to “argue” when we innately believe you are wrong. Human beings have innate wisdom - especially about our health. It’s outsourcing that to other “professionals” (I literally almost vomit) that has caused the decline across the board. The hubris here is just staggering.
Chisom Rutherford@ruthefordml

Healthcare is probably the only profession where people think it's okay to argue what the professionals on what they know. Nobody argues quantum physics with physicists, or law with lawyers. But everyone is an expert in healthcare.

Prompt @CharaspowerAI I tried with grok Imagine. [A futuristic bounty hunter in sleek cybernetic armor, glowing visor scanning targets in real time, dual plasma pistols spinning in his hands Hunts a rogue android through a crowded cyberpunk market, exchanging high-speed gunfire while civilians scatter and holograms explode into digital fragments Dense neon megacity market at night with rain, holographic signs, sparks, smoke and flying vehicles overhead Starts with aerial drone dive through holograms into street level, ultra-low tracking beside the hunter sprinting through crowds, whip pans following plasma shots, FPV chase weaving through market stalls, glitch VFX and sparks flooding frame, ending with the android crashing through a giant holographic billboard and exploding into glowing fragments while the hunter walks away through the rain, neon reflections flickering across his armor]

US Data Centers use about 150B gallons of water. U.S. golf courses use about 500B gallons of water. US Almond Farms use about 1500B gallons of water. Now you know the scale of the problem. We cannot go on like this. We MUST control our almond consumption.

Physicians could own healthcare tomorrow. They own the patient relationship. Then they voluntarily give away: The facility economics. The insurance float. The referral economics. The employer relationship. The real estate upside. The purchasing power. The data. Then they go online and ask why medicine feels broken. Buddy. You are not underpaid. You are structurally dispossessed.

@David_B_Ro @AmmousMD I think we can all agree that people getting killed, for any reason, is a bad thing. (Unless you're Bill Gates, and 1 of the depopulation crowd), but medications aren't supposed to be killing people at all, whereas war is expected to kill people. I'm in favor of ending both.

German MEP, Christine Anderson: "For god's sake, stop complying. Start rebelling. They are out to get you if you do not resist." The so-called "pandemic" was a beta test—conducted by unelected globalists—to see how easy it would be to seize totalitarian control, under the pretext of a global "emergency." "The goal, ultimately, is to transform our free and democratic societies into totalitarian societies. Their goal is to strip each and every one of us of our fundamental rights, of freedom, democracy, the rule of law. They want to get rid of all of this." "In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite concerned about the well being of regular people, and it isn't any different now."

@BrianRoemmele B12 is a vitamin that is only available in meat. People eating plant-based are typically deficient. Plant-based means vegetarian and SAD (Standard American Diet). Prevent the problem by going to a meat-based keto diet. Good for all organs, including the brain.
