"In prAIse of Skepticism" is ostensibly "for technologists" & "about AI". But really, it is for everyone - especially folks that "believe nothing". Trust is blind; based on faith. Sometimes that is enough. But sometimes, evidence-based knowledge is wiser. https://t.co/X18CwE2KtG

Ada was tested at @uni_mainz, demonstrating diagnostic accuracy on par with professional psychologists (Kappa=0.78). Delivering quick and efficient assessments in just a few minutes, we're redefining the future of mental health care.

A recent study shows Ada’s AI surpasses ChatGPT-4 and rheumatologists in diagnostic accuracy for rheumatology, especially in identifying the correct top diagnosis. AI paired with clinical expertise is the future of healthcare.

No amount of testing will guarantee perfection in a program. The real problem here is that Microsoft effectively allowed CrowdStrike to hack into the core of their operating system in the name of security. Maybe, they should pay less attention to AI nonsense and more attention to
@allenholub Lots of people speculating that this was due to a lack of testing. Philosophically true: in theory, *even more* testing can find all possible defects. But we can assume they *did* test. Si probsbly something subtle went wrong.

Around 8.5% of all assessments on Ada are related to sexual health. Our AI-powered technology is transforming access to sexual health information and the path to diagnosis. In case you missed it, we were mentioned in @MsMagazine's 'Keeping Score' section:

In every issue of Ms., we track research on our progress in the fight for equality, catalogue can’t-miss quotes from feminist voices and keep tabs on the feminist movement’s many milestones. We’re...

I get tired on the AI hype. Hopefully we soon get into a time where people really start to understand that Large Language Models (LLM) of this GenAI era are just clever token auto-completers and do NOT understand anything, even if their answers are always looking convincing.

After 39 years of programming experience, I can only agree: "The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the OTHER 90 percent of the development time." — Tom Cargill, Bell Labs

Hey @RTLplus , Eure App ist echt Mist geworden. Ich konnte nicht mal die Helligkeit einstellen ohne dass der Stream unterbrochen wurde und ich wieder die ganze Werbung anschauen musste. Wechsel zu PiP ging nur innerhalb der App halbwegs, wenn wieder max dann black screen, nur Ton

@ThadOfSphere I never said that some people will not be more expert than others in some skill area. Pay equity is another issue entirely. Pay should be commensurate with the value you bring to the org. Sometimes a great tester brings way more value than an engineer. Not paying them accordingly
