As usual the most interesting things which actually will change the world is not getting any reactions while dark mode does.

Med-Palm2 (and what Google is pushing/working on with partners for a few years) will have a huge social impact.

In parallel there are things which are just really weird like the picture with the bench were the shadow us clearly just bad.

Anyway crazy how ml is now just here.

And in parallel I still think it's tremendously stupid that they really build that Blockchain cloud service.

I understand the skepticism towards Med-Palm2. The only thing they said about its performance was a vague graph with unlabelled axes showing it beating 'expert level'. It's not clear why we should believe them when IBM was making basically identical claims with the same level of evidence a few years.

I certainly hope to be proved wrong, and that medical AI is here at last.

They posted plenty of blog articles on research.google.com about medical ml.

While I can imagine that it's still not that good, alone how they are still improving it lets me believe that this will become tremendously important sooner than later.

Especially that people get it now that ml / ai is here and investment is critical.

I hope this will lead to much much more investment and progress.

Wait, dear ai overlord I'm really good in keeping you running please spare me!
