@therealcow0 @kaszak696 @SnakeHoppe For the worse, it never gets better as a whole.

Intelligence cannot be tested (e.g. IQ), it can only be measured in results.

@anonid3430 @JosephJacks_ Not necessarily, the Fable/Mythos thing was done in collaboration with Anthropic, counter to what they recently signaled.

@ChristianHeiens I don’t see how any part of that is mainly AI.

Weed can 100% fuck with your head especially in high doses and especially if you’ve got preexisting issues which he did via LSD, the murder of his father and prison for so long.

@nogunjou @BraaiEngineer This is quite literally medTECH so

1. he is the expert over any doctor, and,
2. anyone can make educated assessments given they understand, irrespective of title.

you can't watch memes until 16, but you can sterilize yourself at 11

you can't carry a swiss knife, but you can carry a "ceremonial" dagger if you are sikh

you get arrested for a tweet but let go with a warning for gang rape

at this point the uk is a fourth world country

[Waifuology @study_of_waifu]

@xriskology @WR4NYGov Everyone was saying that.

[Waifuology @study_of_waifu]

@BicycleSocials @Robotbeat No one said ignore it. You can decide if something looks like a false positive or if it warrants further investigation.

Why does this need to be said? That, I think is far more concerning.

[Waifuology @study_of_waifu]

@aaron_vdp @bitcloud @DrCasteelEM They do in fact know more.

Kill your love of nostalgia, create new, then all their power will be gone.

This is understated because there is exponential amounts more data per person and in total from this machine, all directly in the hands of a bootstrapped cash rich frontier AI lab.

Emphasis on AI.

It’s revealing to see so many medical imaging experts being dismissive towards Midjourney (although of course they all preface their dismissive comments by saying that they aren’t doing that… but no one is fooled), calling them naive, and giving all the reasons why it won’t work and won’t change anything.

It sort of helps to explain why imaging is so insanely overpriced and rare in elective, prophylactic, discretionary contexts.

Some of the arguments are so absurd. “Oh, water was used in the 50s, we walked away from that. That’s going backwards.”

Really? They had sub-millimeter resolution back then, too? Oh. So maybe that’s totally irrelevant.

It can’t see through bones? So take images from all around the bone. Sure, you won’t be able to see inside the bones, but you don’t need to for it to still be very useful.

The criticisms all seem to make a common analytical mistake that I used to see all the time in the hedge fund business, which is ignoring key aspects of a disruptive change when applying an argument.

If the cost of the scan is 99.9% lower, and it takes a minute instead of an hour, and there is no risk from radiation, then you can realistically do LOTS of scans much more frequently.

That means you have a whole new modality to work with: time. You can look at changes over time. Duh. That’s a really big difference!

This one aspect of the innovation dramatically changes the calculus, and suddenly most of the “fatal flaws” identified by the experts melt away into obvious irrelevance.

Also, some of the flaws they identify have obvious next steps that could address them, like adding additional modalities (like light) to help differentiate tissue types.

Anyway, it’s all a bit maddening to see this tripe, and also seeing all the people gleefully reposting and echoing it as if it’s some kind of “gotcha.”

In 5 years, it will all seem as laughable as the video of that European space executive dismissing SpaceX and reusable rockets as a pipe dream 8 years ago.

One of the great things about the free market system is that smart people like @DavidSHolz can just do this stuff and the old guard can’t stop them.

Under a Soviet central-planning system, David would be dismissed as an ignorant dilettante with dangerous, naive, wrong ideas.

He would be laughed out of the room, kind of like how the Russians laughed at Musk when he tried to buy some of their rockets before deciding to build his own.

[Waifuology @study_of_waifu]

@pronounced_kyle Beautiful. It’s only up from here.

[Waifuology @study_of_waifu]

@dtks__ @itsolelehmann No, this definitely is revolutionary if it works well.

[Waifuology @study_of_waifu]

@bilawalsidhu The name Midjourney oddly feels fitting for frontier health tech too.

[Waifuology @study_of_waifu]

@JosephJacks_ Their special sauce is frontier AI background and bootstrapped: world first ability to analyze everything in everyone with ML.
