I’m here for the ai shenanigans. I also enjoy rational thinking and making fun of MAGA.

@hankgreen My friend has been a cytotechnologist for 20 years, (screening cell samples for cancer) they have been using computer screening for a majority of it, but still use a human to confirm positive results. So hasn’t replaced humans in this aspect, it’s just added another layer.

This is such an old dynamic it's wild to watch it play out over and over again when you can just read about it in any book about the history of science and/or technology. Just FYI, doctors mostly aren’t saying “DON'T DO THIS.” They’re saying “screening is complicated.” They've seen exciting new techniques fail to improve outcomes tons of times. They take a whole oath about not doing harm and their field is filled with moments when doctors haven't waited for good evidence...and real harm gets done. This happens with experts all the time...they see something new and there's skepticism...sometimes warranted, sometimes unwarranted. Regardless, any amount of informed skepticism is extremely easy to re-package as “The old guard doesn’t want the future.” That repackaging has been used by industrialists for as long as industrialists have existed...they turn every request for evidence into proof that the incumbents are scared. The thing is there are a lot of Vioxx's and Theranos's and "radium therapy"s in the past proving that well-informed people who say, "Actually, that's not gonna work" are actually very often right. And there's also tons of examples of industrialists being like "This is the future" and being correct while saying "you can't regulate us, that will stand in the way of the future" as steam boilers explode and human beings along with them. But I guess we're just gonna keep having the same goddamn fights forever!

You kind of get the sense that many doctors don’t want the Midjourney scanner to work Curious

@0xInk_ I like seeing real faces in ai. Especially those in the community with physical limitations, making videos staring themselves can be mentally therapeutic

making AI videos with your face is exactly like setting a picture of yourself as the wallpaper on your iPhone

Just listened to a clip of Jason Calacanis talking about how most tech companies now "support Trump on various endeavors" with the exception of Anthropic and "this is america you're allowed to have an opinion BUT! This administration takes things personally, and they're full contact." The overall thesis of the clip as I understood it was "Anthropic is a bunch of Democrats, they hate Trump, Trump hates them back. Why isn't Dario doing the thing all the other tech leaders are doing? Of course Trump is fucking with them." OK. I think it's fair to say that the average person would say that Jason Calacanis is more of a capitalist than me. Certainly he's made much more money than me and his job title contains the word "capitalist." But what Jason is talking about being the new structural quality of the American economy here is not capitalism. If the President of the United States picks OpenAI to win the AI race even though Anthropic's tech is better, that's not "Oh, y'know, this administration takes things personally!" shrug. That's actually not capitalism anymore...it's a pretty well-understood different system called oligarchy. That becomes very obvious if you just replace any of the characters in the story with names you don't recognize. Just in case it needs saying, oligarchy sucks. It is bad for innovation and bad for economies and bad for consumers and ultimately also often (eventually) very bad for the oligarchs! This is why we're supposed to be apalled when our leaders start actively encouraging oligarch-like behavior. Because, look...funny thing about capitalism that I've noticed...most capitalists (there are some exceptions) have no real ideological allegiance to capitalism. They don't /want/ to compete. Competing is annoying, it's hard, you can very easily lose! If they can make more money by getting the state to protect them than they can by innovating and competing, they will absolutely pick state protection. Most capitalists will happily become oligarchs. Their allegiance isn't to any particular system, it's to margin. Now, people to my left will say that oligarchy is, in fact, the final form of capitalism...it's where capitalism will inevitably ends up. I don't believe this because of how we have lots of examples of capitalist countries that are not oligarchies. But watching it happen in my country (and watching influential capitalists shrug as it does) doesn't strengthen my position! It is honestly kinda astounding to see such a staunch pro-market guy just say, "the administration is full-contact, Dario needs to play ball." We all get that that's not a defense of markets, right? It's a defense of one guy distorting a market because he dislikes any power that is not his power. If you find yourself defending that, it is possibly because you, yourself, strive to be an oligarch. Be real careful with that. You can follow your incentives into an evolutionary dead-end. It happens all the time. I've just been thinking about it all morning. Just a real jaw dropper.

Well…I do agree with the Epstein file release thing but their methods…not really.
Gianl1974@Gianl1974

BREAKING: MAGA TERROR! The men arrested by the FBI for plotting to attack Trump’s UFC event have been exposed as white pro-Hitler right-wing extremists who were targeting the Trump team for covering up the Epstein files! Reap what you sow… Trump’s idiot FBI director, Kash Patel, got in hot water yesterday by prematurely bragging about having foiled a plot to commit a terrorist attack Trump’s UFC fight. He actually did nothing; the mother of one of the perpetrators called the cops on her son after he began stockpiling weapons and getting deeply involved in an “ultra-religious and anti-government” group on the internet. Five people have been arrested so far: • 19 year-old Tycen Proper of Ohio • Bryan Omar Roa of California • Michael Alan Thomas of California • Daniel K. Eskridge of Kansas City, Missouri • Abraham H. Alvarez of Omaha, Nebraska The charging documents for one of the men, 19-year-old Tycen Proper, says that he joined a TikTok group called "Vanguard of the Old." His mother told the cops that “PROPER had recently began interacting with a group online that was comprised of individuals who represented themselves as ex-military and that may share some Christian-based ideology.” “She stated that she did not know the name of the group, but that they expressed ultra-religious and anti-government sentiments, specifically citing grievances about government corruption, the handling of the Epstein files, data centers taking up all the water in communities, and other government actions.” Proper himself had been posting pro-Hitler and anti-Semitic comments on social media. The documents state that Michael Alan Thomas “believes that the U.S. government is run by an elite group of individuals who sacrifice and consume infants who also were deeply involved with Jeffrey Epstein and are now protected by President Donald Trump. THOMAS places some of the responsibility of this corruption of government with Jewish people and blames them and Israel for the current war with Iran.” The group was plotting to attack the UFC fight with drones, driving people towards sniper teams to be shot. Sen. Marsha Blackburn was one of their targets for her slavish devotion to AIPAC and Israel. This is a fascinating glimpse into the blowback that Trump and the right-wing propaganda machine has unleashed against themselves for spending years prompting outrageous conspiracy theories about satanic pedophile cabals…and then going above and beyond to keep the actual Epstein files hidden. Once again, it is made clear that Trump and the right-wing are the sources of and perpetrators of political violence in America. How ironic that they end up being its targets now.

I am living for all of these people thinking that we're making medical advances again. I mean, we are! (we also have been the whole time, but whatever, as long as people are paying attention again, LET'S GO!!)
