We're not meant to have favourites, but pigs know they're mine.

I love pigs. Everything about them. Utterly gorgeous, soulful, intelligent creatures. A pig can know you so quickly.

Pigs are quite intelligent, friendly, and clean animals. Thank you arthursacres (IG) for giving pigs the life they deserve 🐷🐽💚

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

OpenAI doesn't realise that PhD-level expertise has very little to do with the stuff you know and more to do with how you can think. I forget facts from mine all the time!

The value in my PhD is knowing how to reliably generate, evaluate, and defend or dismiss information that's new to the world.

OpenAI: we’re giving you PhD-level expertise in your pocket!

Everyone with PhDs: I know exactly who you’re automating and I hate him

Jeez. Considering how much regulation is usually involved with health claims... And that human doctors can be disqualified... This is so dodgy.

Why do we set a lower ethical bar for machines?!

This is a horrifying over-reach on OpenAI's part and they should be raked over the coals for it. Autocomplete is not a doctor!

Screenshot of OpenAI's gpt-5 introduction:

More useful health answers
Our best model yet for health-related questions, providing more precise and reliable responses while acting as more of a proactive thought partner.

It doesn't matter how many GPT models they put out, OpenAI will continue to hemorrhage money because they invented a machine that boils oceans and still gives you an incorrect answer to your question and makes you look functionally illiterate if you take it at face value

It's still an LLM. Get it to ask what it is, and it knows. 😂

I debunked it in computer science terms earlier. But ChatGPT can also debunk itself.

Sam Altman is Elizabeth Holmes.

OpenAI is Theranos.

Their big lie is “AGI”.

We are witnessing what happens when Silicon Valley and investors run out of ideas yet desperately want to cling to wealth and power.

OpenAI will fail, Sam Altman will fall, and the AI industry will collapse behind them.

I'd really like something to just protect me from reinfection so I don't have to mask everywhere... It's so limiting.

Rose Newell | codeword: creative @codewordcreative.com · Aug 6

Yeah, I know someone in that situation, too. MCAS is sort of autoimmune adjacent, and we all end up with that. But that can be helped with the things I mentioned and there is hope. But auto-antibodies is a whole different pile of crap. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

I was then able to reduce drugs, travel to see my family, even hike on a good day. Now it's a waiting game to see if I'll make scientific history and fully recover from endothelial damage in time. I say that because it's complete no man's land. Nobody knows.

...in concert with midodrine and methylphenidate for blood pressure issues.

Vaccines (Biontech/Pfizer) always helped.

Andrographis was what turned the corner. Then about 6 months into taking andrographis, one vaccine just massively changed everything. Like it finally got the last bits.

That also helped a friend with LC and EDS. I think covid was in our bladders - viral reservoir - as our general symptoms also improved massively with that.

The main things that allowed me personally to clear it from reservoirs (based on symptoms) were doxycycline, curcumin, and andrographis...

So before covid, I did once have chronic bronchitis that just kept coming back.

We're also vulnerable to recurrent bladder infections and interstitial cystitis. Essentially self-diagnosed and treated my issue with that after covid - with doctor's involvement after I'd started. 6 weeks doxycycline.

It really just depends on our muscle tone and natural immune system quirks.

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome on top, so my immune system is specifically weak to coronaviruses due to how they multiply based on collagen. Flu isn't like that. But EDS is also vulnerable to real, deep lung infections.

There's no relevant research or treatments. The only things I am on that help are ones I researched myself - things relating to NO:
Escitalopram
Nebivolol

Both reduce vascular inflammation via nitric oxide, something of a desired side effect more than the main method of action.

So I had basically retained the usual good reaction to flu in the respiratory system, but my vascular system - or to put it more accurately, the endothelial system and the associated mast cells, just couldn't cope.

Rose Newell | codeword: creative @codewordcreative.com · Aug 6

To give you an example:
I used to be as good as immune to flu. It was some weird fluke with me. Only caught it properly once and it was bird/swine flu. Everyone was in bed for weeks. Me? 2 days.

Caught normal flu at the doctor's in Jan. Down for 3 or more weeks with vascular systems only. So odd.

Rose Newell | codeword: creative @codewordcreative.com · Aug 6

Yep. And constant vulnerability to things.

Recarding the allergies, it's mast cell activation - at different levels. So yeah, immune system damage.

I had LC actively for 3.5 years - my airways never got that affected. Vascular system is still a mess, though, even years into recovery (first waver).
