Doctor AI for the poor. Truly dystopian.
🔊Co-authored a new op-ed w/ Leah Goodridge about a California clinic using AI to generate diagnoses for unhoused & low-income patients, with the goal of "pulling the doctor out of the visit."
This is a two-tier care system, and communities should decide if, how, and when AI enters their care.

We must not let AI ‘pull the doctor out of the visit’ for low-income patients | Leah Goodridge and Oni Blackstock
Generative AI is being pushed into healthcare – and diagnostic risks may deepen the class divide

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Take a closer look at Barnard 68, a remarkable molecular cloud that looks like a cosmic “hole” cut into a field of stars.
Inside, it is astonishingly cold: about 16 K (−257 °C / −431 °F). This makes Barnard 68 one of the coldest known places in space!

Hey all! I hate to ask but I could really use some help with bills and climbing out of this financial hole I’m stuck in, so if you’ve got $5 or $5,000 burning a hole in your wallet I’d really appreciate anything you can send me! <3

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I'm at the point now where, going into year 7 of this, airborne mitigations are second nature, like brushing my teeth or wearing sunglasses. That's why it's odd when someone says these habits are pathological. Do we say that about handwashing or flossing?

ICE agents only do this because they are extremely well-trained and experienced with the situations they are creating
ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.
