“…several primary care doctors at MGB say the AI platform is just a Band-Aid for deeper problems. They say MGB doesn’t do enough to retain and recruit primary care doctors and could remedy that by paying higher salaries, providing more support staff, and giving doctors greater say in decisions…”
MGB is turning to AI to ease shortage of primary care doctors. Some of them don’t like it. - The Boston Globe
Several providers said the app — which questions patients, reviews medical records, and produces a list of potential diagnoses — sidesteps real solutions.

Ilyasah Shabazz asks why the developers were not acting "with the same morality, conscience, and care ... that they'd want for their own families."
Its a good question, and the answer lies in how how men like Musk & Altman do mistreat and disrespect their own families

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself. “It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

Advertisers know that what your friends think is far more important to your purchasing decisions than ads are. No wonder they're trying to substitute bots for your friends

Jathan Sadowski @jathansadowski.com · 11d
What an unsurprising decision by corporations that desperately need to make money with AI. If every other company with a chatbot isn't already doing this, then expect them to be following Meta's lead soon. The chatbot is not your friend; it's a corporate listening device. www.ft.com/content/22f7...

The owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp on Wednesday said it would use the content of chats with its Meta AI to create advertising recommendations across its suite of apps. “People will already expect that their Meta AI interactions are being used for these personalisation purposes,” said Christy Harris, privacy and data policy manager at Meta.

Solipsism as a service. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...
With Sora, you can do exactly that, in 10-second increments. Soon, your phone might be filled with hundreds of fond memories of things that never happened and places you never went, moments you can sit back and “relive” when there’s nobody else around except your AI pals.  Generative AI already has the power to put us in little boxes, isolated from one another. Why wait for a friend to answer your text when ChatGPT will cheerfully answer right away? Why go through the trouble of making a new friend when you can turn to digital companions embedded in apps like Instagram or X? These new forms of entertainment are becoming the lake to our Narcissus: You can gaze into your phone and see yourself staring back, having all kinds of thrills, spills and chills.

The thing is, TikTok is already like this in a lot of ways. It’s not primarily a social network with your friends. Sora is making a play to replace TikTok by betting that AI content can be more virally interesting to you when it’s bespoke to you. It’s leading to the culmination of anti-social media.

We aren't quite there yet, but Zuck has said it's his goal: People surrounded by "communities" of chatbots that replace humans as participants in the social construction of reality, which will lead us nowhere good.

*Parasocial construction of reality*

The premise is simple enough: kids use Snapchat’s AI tools to create images of a grimy man in their home and tell their parents they let them in to use the bathroom, take a nap, or just get a drink of water. Often they say the person claims to know the parents from work or college. And then, predictably, the parents lose their cool and demand they kick the man out. The kids, of course, record the whole thing, and post their parents reactions to TikTok, where some of the clips have millions of views. Where things go from problematic to potentially dangerous is when the prank carries on for too long and parents call the authorities. Calls of a home invasion, especially involving children are treated as high priority by police, so pranks like this tie up valuable resources and could actually put the pranksters in danger. Round Rock Police Patrol Division Commander Andy McKinney told NBC that it could even “cause a SWAT response.”
