I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.
One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

As DCD 🫀 transplant grows, ethical, regulatory & oversight questions are intensifying.
A Perspectives piece from @MaryjaneFarrMD examines policy shifts, AST/ASTS guidance, & whether a pause on DCD is warranted as the transplant system evolves.

Recently asked OpenEvidence to cite all 22 sources from a cardiology RCT published open access in NEJM. Came up with 13, most of them false.
OE is a dedicated „AI“ platform for medical research. Absolutely embarrassing.
>>Mein Bürgergeld wurde gekürzt, weil meine Mutter mir mit Lebensmitteln aushilft. << M.s Leistung wurde um 193 Euro gekürzt, weil ihre Familie gelegentlich für sie einkaufen geht. Ein Skandal!
Im Nov. stand ein Sachbearbeiter bereits das dritte Mal vor M.s Haustür. Er behauptete, auf ihren Kontoauszügen seien keine Abbuchungen für Lebensmittel zu sehen. M. erklärte, dass sie ab und zu Lebensmittel von ihrer Mutter & Schwester erhält. Kurz darauf wurde ihr Regelsatz um 193 Euro gekürzt.

love when there's an article about how life is sustainable in the superheated waters surrounding a hydrothermal volcanic fissure on the ocean floor and then like six paragraphs in you find out the author's parents are chemosynthetic bacteria 🙄
I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

Disagree: the environmental impact, misdiagnosis and direct physical & mental harm as evidenced by current publications here in the comments are a threat to patients and doctors.
Screenshot of text reading At least 10 people were injured between late 2021 and November 2025, according to the reports. Most allegedly involved errors in which the TruDi Navigation System misinformed surgeons about the location of their instruments while they were using them inside patients’ heads during operations. Cerebrospinal fluid reportedly leaked from one patient’s nose. In another reported case, a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients each allegedly suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured.
Screenshot of text reading In May 2023, Dean was using TruDi in another sinuplasty operation when patient Donna Fernihough’s carotid artery allegedly “blew.” Blood “was spraying all over” – even landing on an Acclarent representative who was observing the surgery, according to a lawsuit Fernihough filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Worth against Acclarent and several manufacturers. One of Fernihough’s carotid arteries was damaged. She suffered a stroke the day of the surgery, according to her suit. Acclarent “knew or should have known that the purported artificial intelligence caused or exacerbated the tendency of the integrated navigation system product to be inconsistent, inaccurate, and unreliable,” the suit alleges.
Screenshot of text reading The FDA requires clinical trials for new drugs, but medical devices face different screening. Most AI-enabled devices coming to market aren’t required to be tested on patients, according to FDA rules. Instead, makers satisfy FDA rules by citing previously authorized devices that had no AI-related capabilities, says Dr. Alexander Everhart, an instructor at Washington University’s medical school in St. Louis and an expert on medical device regulation.
