Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

Does anyone else feel humbled when a long, complex prompt doesn't merit a "Thinking longer for a better answer..." ?

It is genuinely funny that AI can definitely do most common CAPTCHAs better than humans and the reason that CAPTCHAs still work is because the big LLMs often refuse to do them, not because they can't.

Someday I'm gonna tell a med student that I'm so old that when I was a trainee we used to call them "N"OACs because they were "n"ovel and the med student will say, "I'm sorry, I can't laugh politely at your anecdote because I am a large language model."

Heard from #AHRQ that the entire grants staff has been let go! They are unable to issue funds for grants already funded, let alone fund new grants. This is outrageous and will make Americans poorer and sicker. Why? A brief thread about just some recent AHRQ-funded research: #MedSky #HealthPolicy

A quick reminder to all doctors--there's this great field called clinical informatics. What is clinical informatics? To use the best definition, from Charles Friedman--it's to MAKE this equation true: A doctor with a computer > doctor alone.

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results.

A herring is a fish.
When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.
It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.
Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

Classic talk on informatics ROI #CIC25 - organizations like to say they’re data-driven but gravity will pull them toward data-naive or data-dismissiveness. Informaticists must capture their impact on outcomes, financial benefit, efficiencies and (harder to measure) cultural impact - Dr. Joel Gordon
