    @schwa I worked in photographic retail back in the day — saw some amazing prints — even poster-sized shot through those cameras.

    #AI #Robots. Impressive? Scary?

    Personally, I'm leaning towards terrifying.

    However, I could get behind medically-applied AI Robots (#nursing, #hospital cleaning, etc.).

    #Opinions?

    @mythologyandhistory I’m a senior RN. Quite ridiculous that you devalue my role and experience to this extent. Life’s no Star Wars movie.

    gregreedee,
    @gregreedee@aus.social avatar

    @mythologyandhistory A lot to unpack here:

    • Lifting and turning is an essential nursing skill. We have some mechanical aids of vaying degrees of usefulness to assist. Pressure Area Care SAVES LIVES. ie it’s something we SHOULD do.

    Or … the future you foresee is a cohort of poorly maintained robots (remember — even basic IT is an issue in the Healthcare setting) implementing the same protocol for turning the bariatric patient across the corridor and the 60kg old lady wracked with pain we’re palliating over here — in front of her grieving family?

    Remember that protocol? The one derived from an incomplete cheap-ass unethically sourced data-set from a developer that’s out of business — distributed by the dude bros that bought them out? The only package that the insurance company and hospital board can afford — or even worse — the only game in town?

    Better hold on to your hats — same hospital board’s getting heavily sued. The sterilisation units supposed to clean the lifting & turning robots ran out of detergent — MRSA across the whole ward. Oops?

    • De-escalation a potentially violent situation is something I’m involved in all the time — as a Ward Nurse and Team Leader. Let me tell you the right techniques can work — when delivered by an empathetic and experienced Professional.

    I’ll even play my cis-gendered grey-haired white male card if it gets the job done ^_~

    We even have Hospital Security. Also, on a ward level we strategise and plan amongst our selves — and develop relationships with these patients and visitors — Real Time Human Intelligence.

    Sorry/not sorry that my tone is a tad pointed:

    The general public’s misunderstanding of what goes on in Health Care still blows me away. Mass Media and Social Media certainly don’t help.

    I’m also disturbed by some underlying assumptions I see in dialogues like this —

    • That “smart people” know better than us how to do our jobs — deeply rooted misogyny perhaps?

    • That shoe-horning inappropriate — and dehumanising — technology into a field that needs more — not less humanity is some kind of inevitable solution.

    I’m not dismissing AI in Healthcare per se. Some well implemented data-sets have become amazing diagnostic aids in the field of Neurology (my jam) alone.

    I’m all for appropriate technology helping — not replacing — us fellow humans.

    It’s emblematic of just how twisted America can be, that most people think (often in semi-heroic terms) that Jesse James was a character from our “wild west outlaw” days. In fact, he was a confederate vigilante, an outspoken white supremacist, and a murderous sociopath from the deep south. With one exception, the banks and trains he robbed and people who killed were all in the deep south. But that doesn’t fit the dopey narratives that his modern stans weave around him.

    @shoq from what I gather, this process was in full flight via dime-store novels etc well before the 1800’s were through.

    There’s something quite delicious and funny watching Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders try to respond to a GOP-led audit of her alleged false records, including a $19K lectern, and failure to respond to FOIA requests, by blaming “left wing activists” for the controversy.

    Keep flailing, Governor. It’s your own party’s audit panel investigating your office.

    I had my Covid booster about 2.5 weeks ago. The only downside was that amid disturbed sleep, I dislocated my shoulder. I'm getting physical therapy and NOW I'm less likely than ever to EVER GET COVID. Gonna gloat it up until it happens...

    Greetings. I live. I am just under doctor's orders to do as little as possible until the surgeon sees me. So I've been doing desk work like migrating to a new PC. Busy work that I can do while sitting. I am following the news, however, and every one of you. Yes, I saw what you did there.

    So there's a German reply-guy account that claims that when you block him, you are CeNsoRiNg his timeline because he now cannot read your posts. He compares blocking to fascist behaviour. So close. So close to understanding what blocking means :) The admins of his server prefer a wait and hope approach, despite several reports. Which I find an objectionable stance.

    FTR, I obviously blocked that guy now too :)

    @jwildeboer wondering if E. Musk will use the same CeNsoRsHiP justification disabling Twitter users’s ability to block. Madness.

    @ivory the other app I Beta test thru Test Flight is clearly labelled a Beta version of mainstream app — can have both running concurrently.
