Read Moby-Dick!

Finally, we can all stop wringing our hands about this lol

Tell me how consults is *really* going.

There’s also an emerging body of evidence showing that reliance on AI eventually leads to de-skilling of humans, and we need a better sense of the long-term consequences of that (e.g., are we comfortable with a future where radiologists are just worse at interpreting mammograms?).

This is the challenge of any cancer screening program: knowing whether detecting cancer before it causes symptoms saves lives is challenging! We’ve gone back and forth on this for prostate cancer and breast cancer for decades. AI *may* help, but I don’t think we have good data for that.

There’s a more sober approach to this that is being missed: we don’t know if these AI-driven analyses would save lives or outweigh harms of overdiagnosis. AI could be better at screening for cancer *and* still not be useful for screening (in the way we do breast or colon cancer screening).

My most petty “no I will not ‘live and let live’” opinion is that your definition of “small personal item” and where it goes on an airplane plane says a lot about your respect for other humans
