Yup, easy peasy. And if you really want AI deep research, how about plugging it into your own local LLM with Vane

damage that will take decades to undo.

Extremely unlikely to ever be undone IMO, decades may as well be never. Otherwise, agreed.

Interesting to speculate how many of these are “Bullshit Jobs”, which arguably are the only ones AI is capable of replacing. While this may suck in the short term (especially for USians and others without a decent social security net), in the long run it may lead to more fulfilling work.

And that (obviously) is the low hanging fruit. We end up with a more secure kernel, and these filter in at a manageable rate and the bar raises. Pretty damn good scenario IMO.

Closed source is going to have a much worse time.

frankly, anything that allows the practitioner to focus more solely on the patient is a good thing.

Absolutely.

on device AI pull out relevant bits to populate a template.

As long as it’s on device (or local network, I’d be fine with a e.g. a server for a practice, but say a macbook pro should do the job fine, with full disclosure to patients) it’s OK. Indeed go ahead and use whatever voice transcription / processing you want e.g. whisper or QWEN LLM, don’t care as long as it’s local. The article however cites ‘Heidi health AI/ Microsoft’, and my policy for anything with AI in the title is ‘distrust unless verified’ especially wrt health data.

Admittedly I don’t know ‘Heidi health AI/ Microsoft’ from a box of nails, but Microsoft’s fingers in the pie spooks me immediately. Frankly no commercial AI presents as trustworthy enough for sensitive data in general and incoming IPOs are only going to make that worse as they desperately seek monetization.

Not to mention malpractice insurance up the wazoo… As it be should for doctors.

Just pay for perfectly functional, deterministic, local, voice transcribing like dragon dictate and actually read it afterwards for errors. Or hire a person with an NDA. Sending privileged information overseas to known data miners for transcription is pants on head bonkers given the alternatives.

Need to have a chat with my doctor to see if he’s one of the 40% (there’s a fucking scary number from the RACGP, talk about burying the lede).

He profits just fine. The companies not so much.

Except NVIDIA, they’re making shovels and shitloads and he probably gets something under the table from them too.

Sounds like all you need is an Ext4 USB drive with a LUKS key on it. Then add kernel parameters like

rd.luks.key=UUID=/.keys/TheKey:LABEL=KEYS rd.luks.options=discard,keyfile-timeout=10s

in GRUB and it’ll autoboot.

Pull the key and power down and you’re back to normal. I use it in a low threat model environment so I can hit reboot and go get a coffee and come back to a DE.

ETA: sorry, got the timeout format wrong, I don’t use it.

Sounds good. Bonus points for getting it in the media.

You can search specifically for smart glasses, e.g. the aptly named Nearby Glasses

Also, you likely can’t fine them, but you can make them think about it.

Just posted this elsewhere, seems topical here too.

ACCC is one of the best things about Australia, shame it’s underfunded. Seriously, pump bucks into the ACCC, fine the fuck out of dodgy cunts all over the place - government revenue stream (betcha it’s profitable) and happy voters. But lobbying, sigh.

Its a little bit like having a really competent security researcher go deep through your complete codebase just really fast and with improved recall.

I doubt that, more of a force multiplier for security researchers at this stage (perhaps always for LLMs without an architecture leap) IMO. Otherwise I generally agree. It’s responsible to take this approach perhaps, but mostly marketing. Still let’s not kid ourselves it isn’t happening at scale already. Plenty of open weights models can also force multiply a competent security researcher, either black or white hat. Mythos isn’t a quantum leap or anything, just 4.7.

Anybody working with software knows marketing people promise the world and understand nothing. Pretty sure they just heard “black magic” and ran with it.

Heh, yup.

Glasshole the term needs to make a significant comeback. Normalize shunning, put up signs on bathrooms and anywhere else you can with

“‘Smart’ glasses forbidden. Fines applicable. Bluetooth detection active.” and perhaps "This means you Glasshole ! "

whether such detection is active is moot, make the bastards as nervous as they should be. A (dummy) camera on the outside of the door should complete the illusion. Make them feel like perverts.

Non consensual filming should be unacceptable, but that’s a whole other fight.

Shocker. Just another excuse to fire higher paid workers, point at a line going up (until it doesn’t), say AI a lot, and then hire lower paid workers for the same (or worse now fighting AI in some cases) job.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

They’ve copied gOS’s homework one hell of a lot. They clearly don’t want to do so here.

The reason is (mostly?) lolz.

Which is far from evil here. At least mask up or whatever to the point of not being (facial recognition + legally) identifiable before posting to your social media about someone who isn’t me (SWIM). As per OP, opsec, learn to love it or learn regrets.

Fuck SamA, no Mobo prices will not fall because it’s all supply on demand, stepping around failed concepts like ‘competition’.

Ah, so it is vibe coded [I created] was a trigger. Let people know, it might not actually be bad if you know coding already, but it’s good to let people know, not real maintainable otherwise.

In the absence of a good option, “less bad” will have to do.

Semantically equivalent, but not the same. Especially emotionally, which humans are prone to be. Context, and matrix, matter.
