Several times she has mentioned AI having a "2% error rate" and I'm furiously shouting NO ITS MUCH HIGHER at my TV like my dad when the Red Sox are losing
On The Pitt, Dr Al-Hashimi is confronted with several massive errors from her genAI medical transcription program that delayed vital care for a patient, and dismisses them as nothing to worry abt as long as you double check. The perfect distillation of AI boosterism. AI is great even when it isn't.

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.

“Art is to me, now, probably one of the last good things we’ve got left as human beings."

I've been feeling this more and more. How the war for our attention robs us of tangible art. Robs us of the feeling of being alive.

‘Regrets? Number one: smoking. Number two: taking it up the wrong hole’: Tracey Emin on reputation, radical honesty – and Reform
She scandalised the art world in the 1990s with her unmade bed, partied hard in the 2000s – then a brush with death turned the artist’s life upside down. Now she’s as frank as ever

I am entranced and fascinated by Vanessa’s deep dives into pneumatic tubes—something I haven’t thought about since I was a kid in the 1980s and my dad would go through the bank drive-through and I’d love watching that cylinder shoot up into the air and arrive over inside the building.

Pneumatic tubes? In this economy?!

If you're in healthcare, yes! Every hospital has tubes. They’re labyrinthian & networked & cool.

At Tube Talk, I talked with those who make them and those who run them. Give it a read below! #tubetalkmedia #pneumatictubes

The Last Bastion of Pneumatic Tubes
Pneumatic tube systems are thriving in the healthcare industry. And while the technology is an old one, the hospital systems have recent innovations that make it state of the art.

Yes!!! The hospital I used to work at had a tube system and I remember the first time I got an email that was like "FYI the pneumatic tube system is down" and I was like OMG WHAT and then immediately asked the research space/facilities guy who sat near me like a zillion questions about them

They operate on the same principles as endless scrolling, anything to keep you engaging with it, only the 'transactions' happen so much faster, making them so much more dangerous.

They are slot machines. You pull the lever and maybe something worth it (to you) pops out, but mostly it doesn't. Yet you enjoy the thrill of sitting with the endless potential that something *might* be worth it and that is what you think these tools are giving you. Possibility. They are not.

It is so funny to me that this happened. I have no idea what vibe I’m giving off, generally, but apparently whatever it is, part of it is “plausible music critic.”
Got mistaken for a music critic because I had a tiny sketchbook when I went to see some live music. Just absolutely comedic results.

important not to underestimate the visceral discomfort of this: having something personal and unique stolen, copied, and exploited for money.

Does your university use ChatGPT Edu? Please send me a DM if you do. I have identified a potential data breach affecting students' data that has not yet been fixed and I'm trying to compile further examples from other universities.

The best way to convince someone of something isn't usually to tell them, it's often to show them. Repeatedly. Like modeling behaviors for children.

To combat AI, we who create must keep creating. Share what you make and share how you do it! All the messy mess-ups, the humanness. ❤️ We are teachers.

There is no way this is a coincidence. I worked with David at @npr.org, and NotebookLM sounds *precisely* like him, including his conversational cadence.
He spent decades perfecting his voice. Now he says Google stole it.
NPR’s David Greene says he was “completely freaked out” when he heard an AI voice that sounded just like his own, and he’s suing over it.

Doing a bit of a reorganization of my office, retiring one of my displays from tabling and using it as a paint rack permanently. Also, got a cupcake stand at the thrift store and turned it into an organizer for my inks and watercolor paints.
