so doctor visit dump here;
The first neurologist I talked to for FTD had a working hypothesis of bvFtD dementia (behavioral rather than the language variant nfv PPA).
But that was entirely because of my Claude generated report on my dad's symptoms _ the doc however accepted it a bit too pliably (don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing)
I only got to know that a language variant even existed 6 days after the initial working differential diagnosis cuz I have a goldfish brain and somehow soporifically browsed Gemini for (ugh what does the bfbg Dementia stand for again?)
I realized some qns the doc asked my dad didn’t really fit the symptoms and I unwittingly felt guilty for priming the doc using the Claude generated symptom report & working hypothesis.
One neurologist was actually like bro which neurologist made this report it’s good …. I’m like bahhhhh.
AI is going to be either really good for the experts who can point out the bullshit or bad for the generalist who builds wordcelian castles
Though I trust once language models are objective- functionified towards physical real world shit I wouldn’t be here wondering if I’m gonna indirectly cause my dad to live a suboptimal life by overrelying on some hallucination if i decide to make the snake oil myself.
@cacooled Well ok. Remember: you asked for it. In order to grow a pair of humble balls specifically it really boils down to: You have to eat shit.
You have to eat a lot of shit.
You have to eat shit until you stop making a face.
You have to eat shit until you stop blaming everyone else
Simile is out of stealth!
At Simile, we have built the first AI simulation of society, populated by agents based on real humans.
We are building a foundation model that predicts human behavior in any situation, and a product that deploys it at scale.
Thrilled to be on this mission.
Telling the truth is deeply antisocial because at some point you will be forced to choose what matters most to you: the truth or the approval of the group.
It's the universe witnessing itself, through eyes made of stardust, synchronized to electromagnetic fields, oscillating at the frequency of Earth, tracking the moon, embedded in space-time, aware that it's aware.
Hang out with people who are intellectually fearless. Disciplined in thinking, comfortable in chaos. Wouldn’t suggest skinny dipping but they’re game. Understand that we all fall short sometimes which is why you gotta be relentless with yourself. Down to try a cig but the minute they're hankering they go cold turkey. Their highest standards are for themselves. Empathetic but amoral. Loudest laugh in the room. They’re not tubing down the lazy river, they’re taking life by the collar and shaking it.
ideologies are dimensionality reduction techniques that legibilize the world by invariably discarding certain data, sacrificing nuance for actionability
most dangerous adherents of any ideology are those who forget they're using a model rather than perceiving reality directly
