it isn't for me, but maybe that's my ad blocker?

EDIT: tried it in another browser, my blocker happened to block the first 3 paragraphs lol, no wonder it was so confusing....

What the hell is this article? It has no source, it sounds like a half-baked thought and is all of 3 short paragraphs in length. This is low effort engagement bait at best.

I tried googling what the hell this might be based off of, and found this article. It appears to be a review conducted by the office of the auditor general (full report can be found here). The audit was of the process for the request for bids for the scribe system - that is to say, the 'pre-approved' vendors. There is nothing about whether any of this software is used, let alone how it is used.

Like yes, it's important to be looking at this, and it's good that the auditor is telling the government to improve its RFB process to better screen these tools, but this article is making it out like actual doctors are using this software and blatantly using it in ways that would harm the patient. That's just not true.

Frankly speaking I should probably just remove this article entirely as its half baked at best, AI slop at worst, but I'm going to leave it up because hopefully folks will see something like this and stop reacting to a headline immediately and instead take a closer look at articles that are shared as engagement bait.

An interesting read. It never struck me as something that needed researching - the obvious bias baked into any and all tests which utilize language and probe at abstract ideas like feelings. It seems obvious to me that the idea of "sadness" is both inherently as well as culturally determined. For anyone who's dealt with individuals with varying amounts of alexithymia its glaringly obvious that some of the standard questions such as "feeling down, depressed, or hopeless" (PHQ9) would be interpreted differently, let alone questions in which context is crucially important such as "poor appetite or overeating" (PHQ9) or "being so restless that it is hard to sit still" (GAD7 - a test about anxiety) that are common on these kinds of questionnaires. Perhaps its because my interaction and discussions with clinicians tends to be folks who are focused more on the total mental wellness of someone than they are about the specific answers to a question and are using the context of the patient's other conditions and affect to assess, but this hardly seems groundbreaking... except that perhaps the literature on this itself is minimal. Perhaps this kind of clinical awareness has been handed down, rather than studied, and the corpus of literature needs to be enhanced so that more can learn and absorb it.

The president really made an executive order about preventing woke AI? Humanity is cooked fam

That’s going to take some research and a rewrite to get it looking like those it was trained to match. You need to be adding synonyms and dependencies because the AIs lack any model of how we actually do IT, they only see correlations between words.

Very simple solution: ask AI to rewrite your resume for specific job applications or fields.

As someone who lives in SF, yup. I'm sick and tired of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. The only positive about them is that for confusing measures, they make it clear which direction to vote - always against them.

FYI this was already posted to technology, here.

Having seen how so many average people are using AI, I'm sadly not surprised that people are just going with whatever is up there, even when it is wrong.

Hey fam, this post is racking up reports. If you're serious about resisting a fascist government, the opsec of posting about it openly online is quite poor. I would highly suggest looking into local groups. Show up at protests and talk to people. I guarantee you that the community you are looking for is out there, but here is not where you'll find it. Furthermore, instigating the way you are isn't healthy for this community. You're welcome to tell people they can and should resist. You should not, however, be telling people to die.
