No sé cuántos Observatorios de la IA/algoritmos llevamos ya, pero está claro que el primero que ha hecho algo que merece llamarse así es esto de @civio.es en la salud pública
📣 🤖 El aterrizaje de la IA en la sanidad pública es opaco, desigual y con escasa supervisión.
Publicamos la primera base de datos que mapea, comunidad a comunidad, 156 sistemas de IA en cualquiera de sus fases de investigación o implementación en nuestros hospitales.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.
But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

“We should reduce the cognitive load in our projects as much as possible.” — I strongly agree with it. And yet, it turns out to be super hard to fight complexity creeping in. I had an entire rant on this recently at @vendure.io's mini conference :) minds.md/zakirullin/c...
Cognitive load is what matters
There are so many buzzwords and best practices out there, but let's focus on something more fundamental. What matters is the amount of confusion developers feel when going through the code.
