Artificial Intelligence
lol what:
Midjourney announces the world’s first full-body ultrasound CT scanner
• Goal is to bring affordable full-body imaging to everyone on Earth
• Users are submerged in water during the scan
• Creates detailed 3D body maps in under a minute
• Can map more than 25 organs and anatomical structures in detail
• No radiation is used
• Working with the FDA for approvals on diagnostic use
• Plans to bring the tech to market by the end of 2027
(via @midjourney)
- MRI technicians hate them!_niko
- no radiationdbloc
- Who doesn't love radiation?utopian
- Pile on the snake oil. Also who wants a full body scan? They are localized for a reason. This will be an innacurate scan to separate rich fools from their moneygarbage
- Vibe scanning_niko
- Akshuly... the science behind it is pretty good. No silver bullet, but could be life changing for many. All in for better medicine.maikel
- I have an in-law family member who works on AI for cancer detection and.. it works. They're not entirely sure HOW it works (black box, etc), but it does.Nairn
- Last chat I had with him about this sort of thing was about 18 months ago, so I can't imagine what that equates to in cat years (AI years).Nairn

I've spent the last year or so struggling so much with addiction and today I just feel bored and finally seem happy with that feeling. Like, I'm happy to sit and do nothing. At peace with myself.
- Cheer up Ian! <3OBBTKN
- just sitting and being happy with yourself is a challenge in our modern times!Chimp
- Keep up the good work - I'm rooting for you!stoplying
- Husband is coming up on 1200 days sober. Still dealing with it, but dealing with it.i_monk
- Good luck Ian, steady as you goGardener
- Currently doing a detox as well. Boredom is the WORST lol. I'm looking forward to being happy with boredom. Hang in there Ianny.garbage
- when I am in a crisis the idea of boredom feels like a luxury, and i remember that every time I'm feeling bored or dejected. Well done for recognizing it.DaveO

Oideaist - 1.5 years without a drop of alcohol. Longest steak since I was a teenager!fooler
- You got this.Longcopylover
- Input or substance?Nairn
- I suffer both.Nairn
- Sorry, I shouldnt've asked.Nairn
- Correction, 2000 days.i_monk
- Nairn, substance. Primarily weed and alcohol. And it's okay to ask. I need to be open about it, as hiding it has been my issueIanbolton
- Nothing to be ashamed of. I'm technically not an alcoholic, but anybody can develop an SUD. I don't have the gene where I can't stop, but..garbage
- ..I have insanely high tolerances. Several years back I was drinking a handle a day. I don't get hangovers, I never feel or seem drunk when I drink.garbage
- So when I quit, my body woke me up with a seizure and a hospital trip where I got full DTs and attacked the ER staff. (fun stuff, I know)garbage
- That was years ago, and since then I've been a responsible drinker with no issues.. until some close friends passed, and I realized I was drinking as a crutch..garbage
- ..the past couple months. Plan on being fully dry by the 3rd. Corny, but if you need a shoulder give me a shout. We got this.garbage
- I getcha Garb. That's mad how you ended up in hospital having a seizure. Is that the first time when you realised you had a problem?Ianbolton
- Mine started in Lockdown with coke. I isolated myself so much that i was using drink and drugs to be happy in my own company.Ianbolton
- And since then, being alone felt like i was sooooooo alone. And i needed to get out my head. I took antidepressants to ease some of the anxietyIanbolton
- But instead of doing that, it made me not care about anything. Existential dread kicked in and i ended up in hospital last November as i wanted to end it allIanbolton
- I don't have a problem with alcohol; I have a problem with me. I forget what the doctors told me, but I have some weird gene polymorphism that leads to..garbage
- ..easy processing. I'm still totally functional, don't really have cravings or anything. But the time I was really not paying attention..garbage
- (lost a friend, general malaise) and just thought I could taper down, got bored with the tapering process and quit cold turkey.garbage
- Collapsed on the floor, then went full DT to the point where I was in 4 point restraints. Fucking embarassing.garbage
- But honestly my bigger problem was just not caring. I can mentally quit any time, but I caught myself slipping in the past few months..garbage
- ..then quitting for a few years. Coke though.. had a brief fling with coke and immediately realized that might be a problem and quit.garbage
- (Last bit was supposed to be "dialing it back in the next week, then quitting for a few years.")garbage
- But offer still stands if you need to reach out, I'm an ear.garbage

Russia-Ukraine Invasion
Goodness. The footage from Moscow today is awesome, in the literal sense of the word. Seeing multiple cruise missiles scooting over as they target that refinery, and watching the entire lid of a gas holder flung a hundred foot in the air, sitting there for a moment like some UFO is just crazy shit.
- As much as I'm for it, I do wonder at the reaction from prodding the bear so hard.
This sort of operation is pretty much unheard of for a 'superpower'.Nairn - Tank toss footage

Today I had to interject in a work AI training session that no, the assorted attendees should not be using Copilot to generate branded logos. My design team will be designing all logos, thank you, and according to our brand guidelines, which the LLM mostly ignored judging by the font it used. To say nothing of the garbage it generated in the demo.
- sigh. welcome to our new hell._niko
- eeesh, i have a senior member of staff who's taken the initiative to schedule posts of 'industry news' on our social channels between our actual postskingsteven
- posts themselves are fine - but he's generating AI images (with some free image generator), posts are bombing. just letting him go at it, they must learn.kingsteven
- Later this summer I have a meeting with sr admin about how AI slop doesn't comply with our accessibility commitments, so please fucking stop.i_monk
- They will figure it out eventually. Got more and more people able to identify AI as they see it more... just get it all logged.kingsteven

Proud dads...
I've been worrying about compensating for my own domain lacking where my daughter's education is concerned, so had thought that a grounding in maths and logic and programming would be best.
But in this age of LLMs I realise that's redundant.
I need to focus on language, comprehension, composition of thought and the ability to abstract concepts.
I'm so fucking worried for her future.
- Teach her how to learn and foster a culture of curiosity then she will work the rest out. Maybe keep an eye on her self esteem and friend groups is my advice.slappy
- Oh yeah, I'm talking purely edumacational here, but I'm already seeing the self esteem issues beginning to peek through...Nairn
- ..but I've always been sure to enxourage that she engaged with friends as much as is comfortable, and not just focusing the same subset all the timeNairn
- Fucking mobile corrections.Nairn
- Have her learn piano. It’s great for activating all kinds of wonderful parts of the brain at once.monospaced
- I agree that in the world of corner cutters abusing ai to get through life, the ability to write well and expound on abstract concepts is critical.monospaced
- I bought her a wee piano years ago but she's not shown much interest. She's been learning violin, and I'm going to buy her a recorder this w'endNairn
- I’m so worried for their future. It’s hard to conceive of what challenges they’ll face or how I can even possibly guide them.monospaced
- What is it that she loves to do more than anything? That is the thing you raise her to do. This is a slow apocalypse — with more & more beautiful sunsets.tbgoodwillie

in the existential attic lay twenty pairs of slim jeans from four forgotten caches: 28/32, 29/32, 30/32, 31/32 uugh

- yeah i'm 6' and would have been under 11st to fit in those 28's - over 10 years ago, still wear 31/32' but not slim jeans! lolkingsteven
