I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

New SNAT podcast: @edbennett.bsky.social and I are talking “everythingism” — the urge to build every product for every person. Then we make ChatGPT write bios now that it remembers everything about us. It's weirdly flattering. Also kind of terrifying. Listen here: touchpoint.health/podcast/seas...

As a person that advocates for the use of AI in healthcare, it's clear this guy doesn't get it at all. “I’m not sure he knows what we do here,” said one CMS employee who listened to the call. “He was talking about nutrition and exercise. That’s not what Medicare does.” www.wired.com/story/dr-oz-...

For someone who works in the technology space for US Health Systems, I am all too familiar with how complex tech infrastructures can be. While I do focus on transformation and optimization, there just are certain ways to do this - outside of unfettered access by untrained, biased hacks.
