I try to post about tech in healthcare sometimes
LLMs are just autocomplete with a superiority complex.

Got so tired of "linkedin speak" we had to make a graphic for it as a part of our rebrand lol. Anyway, liked how it turned out so figured I'd just post it here.

It's so hard to get clinicians, engineers, and business people to all speak the same language.

Always wonder how other engineers balance the joy of creating and inventing with the crushing reality that anything you make has to exist for the sole purpose of profit.

Conjugate drugs like this are exceptionally interesting to me. Leveraging the monoclonal antibody as a way to "target" the cancer cells and deliver the cytotoxin is extremely clever.

I wonder if this technique can also be used for other small molecules with high toxicity? #MedSky #Oncology

In the KATHERINE trial, researchers assessed the efficacy of trastuzumab emtansine for improving outcomes in patients with residual human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive early breast cancer after neoadjuvant systemic therapy. Full trial results: nej.md/3WhKMJN

In South Carolina for my talk at the Brain Injury Association of America and it’s SNOWING!!

Only one coffee shop was open this morning. I’m used to Minnesota where this is just an average Wednesday 😅

It's indistinguishable from magic for people who don't understand how it works. There's a huge problem in the business world where I'll talk with executives who are investing in an AI initiative because their board told them to do so, not because they actually thought out a use case.
People with less knowledge about #AI are actually more open to using it, challenging the assumption that tech-savvy individuals are the most eager adopters. Business professors explain the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link: https://buff.ly/3DXR2Qr via @uk.theconversation.com
Knowing less about AI makes people more open to having it in their lives – new research
People with less AI literacy often see the technology as ‘magical’ and awe-inspiring.

QA and I have a system.

They message me “hi Alex” at 7 am then when I reply “yes?” They send me a link to the ticket with no other context. I have a vague idea of what he wants but I don’t respond. 3 days later the ticket is moved to done.

next time you reach for chatgpt when coding, think of all the poor innocent tech bros who gets their self worth from their 100k+ stack overflow reputation. This is who you’re hurting. Be better.
