Every single article about AI use in a critical context goes something like this "yeah, it's great, it does the job really well, no complaints. It does catastrophically fail about 35% of the time though, so good to check" So many people have just lost all sense www.nrk.no/vestfoldogte...

It has become common for KI assistants to listen and take notes during doctor visits, and GP Mathias Krüger is clear about how useful it is.

– They do the actual writing job incredibly well. They are trained in medical language, understand what tests are being done, and you get a note that looks very neat and tidy. It's a big help, says the GP.

At the same time, he is concerned about how important it is to carefully read what the AI tool writes before it ends up in a patient record.

– They are certainly not perfect. They misunderstand medications and context. They misunderstand who is involved. For example, it may say "mother is involved," but it is actually a completely different person.

This is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit. www.cato.org/white-paper/...

For each year from 1994 to 2023, the US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government.
Over that period, immigrants created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US dollars, including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest on the debt.
Without immigrants, US government public debt at all levels would be at least 205 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)—nearly twice its 2023 level.
