bro this isn’t reddit

you’re being repeatedly antagonistic all over beehaw

this is your warning and reminder to be nice

Not a strong case for NYT, but I’ve long believed that AI is vulnerable to copyright law and likely the only thing to stop/slow it’s progression. Given the major issues with all AI and how inequitable and bigoted they are and their increasing use, I’m hoping this helps to start conversations about limiting the scope of AI or application.

There’s a million different ways, most trans people don’t immediately change their last name so you can use that. Or you can refer to something that Emily did to provide context. I’m sure if you stop and think about it, you can figure out a few more ways too.

At the end of the day it’s not about making it easier for you to understand what’s going on at the expense of disrespecting her. She’s asking for you to use her name, so stop calling her something else.

If you ever experience this I highly encourage you to file a HIPAA complaint. They take this very seriously and minimum violations are steep. If you have the time and energy, please bring this to the attention of the clinic or facility you visited - I guarantee you there are staff who are in complete agreement with you and would be furious if this were true.

which would be illegal to sell or share with anyone other than a patient’s doctors

Assuming you are in the US, this is already the case. HIPAA is incredibly strict.

I see a lot of people talking about how this is an issue of capitalism through the eyes of who purchases (c-suite) the electronic health record or EHR. This isn’t really applicable when it comes to healthcare delivery systems. Every system has c-suite representation from the clinical side. CMO, CNO, CMIO, CNIO, etc. In addition physicians have strong lobbying power within the orgs to ensure that they are listened to.

Ultimately trade-offs need to be made somewhere, and the real issue is that these pieces of software are incredibly complicated. Have you ever stopped to consider how much information might be in your medical chart, for a single doctors visit? Prior to the visit they need to have or collect a bunch of customer data on you - name, date of birth, insurance info, etc. They need to schedule an appointment for you at a location with a specific doctor which means they need a calendaring and scheduling system and all the data that comes along with that. They may need to collect and scan documents about you, or get information from other medical systems. Then when you show up, you interact with more people than just your doctor - you get checked in, they collect a form of payment or the actual payment itself (meaning they need to interface with insurance to understand what to bill), then a nurse or medical assistant takes you back. A bunch of vitals get recorded - height, weight, blood pressure, pulse oximetry. Some of these come from devices which are hooked up to their system. Then the doctor comes in and does any number of things to you- there’s a lot of narrative that needs to be collected, pieces of information about why you are there, your history, and so on. They may collect some kind of material from you for which the system needs to at the very least record that it was collected and what a result is (realistically it’s interfaced and sometimes the interface includes media such as images). I could keep going on, but I think you get the idea - the amount that needs to go into a system to make it useful to all the various staff at a place of service means that the product is very expensive and difficult to create.

The real issue with capitalism comes in here - it’s an issue of very few companies providing good products. It’s very difficult to create a competing product in the EHR world because the established giants have been developing for 30+ years. They’ve poured billions of dollars and man hours into creating software that can manage the extreme complexity of medical care. Even among these giants which do hire clinical professionals to help shape the front end so it’s as user friendly as possible, medicine is huge and there are people of all walks practicing - some are great at tech and others not so much. Being able to appease everyone means you need a flexible UX which also means… more money and more man hours. This problem unfortunately can’t really fix itself until it’s possible to create a complicated system with less resources, which I don’t foresee happening anytime soon.

This is a reminder to be nice on Beehaw.

The findings are interesting, but the study design is lacking. A single device is used (to be fair, it’s a commonly used device) and as far as I can tell a single person recorded the keystrokes and was assessed. I don’t think it did a good job of simulating trying to train and create a model for someone via recorded audio from a medium such as zoom given many realistic variables like audio quality, being on or off mute, connection quality issues, mic sensitivity, etc. With that being said, it is exposing a theoretical attack vector and I think that’s important to identify and recognize.

It’s definitely not fine, but they may be stupid enough to try and train a model on healthcare zoom meetings. I think I’m gonna let my healthcare company security team know. We do a lot of cross collaborative meetings with the university and I’m not sure their license is the healthcare one. Typically that’s all just resolved through a business agreement, but if it’s a part of the ToS now they may be violating HIPAA without knowing it even while having business agreements not to. Might be worth filling a complaint to give the hhs a heads up that they’re potentially noncompliant.

For what is worth a lot of medicine works this way. I’m fairly certain this isn’t the only field, either. I’d imagine studying ecology or space feels similar

Yes and it’s already been discussed whether this post should be removed. There’s no quick and easy answer to a question like this, so much as there is a lot of shades of gray. There can be valuable discussion here so long as we take into consideration how to do so in good faith in a public forum.

I would advise against armchair hypothesizing about the mental health state of individuals based on how they post online.

Don’t want to be defederated? Don’t let chuds and bigots on your instance. It’s pretty simple.

While this is the main reason for defederation, I think it’s important to recognize that humans are going to human and as of such you’re going to have defederation over extremely petty issues. In human history we’ve literally started wars over petty issues, costing countless lives - defederating is small stakes in comparison.

With that being said I agree with other posters that defederation is a tool. Just like any other tool it will be used in ways not everyone expects. A hammer can be used as a can opener if you really want. Or as art. Or in an elaborate machine. Tools may be designed for a purpose, but humans are creative and you can’t enforce that tools are only used in certain ways.

So they passed the tests they set for capacity? Eh, not really impressed. Thanks though.

Got any sources for that? I’ve never seen anyone claim it’s a success

I think it’s rather telling that this person has an idea and yet has not found a single scientific paper willing to publish his study. No one is taking this seriously, except for the professor and some people online who don’t understand how AI works or why this isn’t a great idea.

With that being said, this could be useful to help refine a hypothesis or generalize about how people online might respond to questions you’re interested in studying.

Could you go into a bit more detail on this particular stack and how it’s useful to you?

Yes but that’s different from having a system which enshrines interpretability in their law tactfully. Some countries use panels of judges to deliver decisions and have law which is much more interpretable than places which are more letter of the law focused. You’re talking about combining judicial and executive functions which has a whole different set of issues.
