All these articles, nobody posting error budgets or Delta's with real doctors in this shit.
But we all know doctors are perfect with perfect notes every time and every nurse who gives you a dose 🤷♂️
God forbid that doctor take 2 minutes to confirm accuracy.
Ok, so be the change you want to see and you post the data.
Ignoring that this means that one in every ten patients is getting inaccurate notes.
This will literally lead to people dying.
How accurate are the doctors? How accurate are they both in tandem? Are they higher than 90%?
Dual systems working on a decision could be significantly safer.
You can hold a doctor accountable.
Try to hold a machine accountable and you’re met with 🤷🏼.
But Lemmy hates AI and loves to huff its own farts

I like to eat apples and bananas.

Fediverse has turned into the truth social of disenfranchised progressives. Don't get me wrong I agree with many themes in this place, but the tribalism and unwillingness to refrain from immediately labeling a topic or person a total bad actor is pretty high. Everyone is a mustache twirling billionaire, redneck who hates trans and are Nazis, or a progressive hero.
