Yeah, no. Those AI models depend on the work of actual experts and what they crap out is always inferior to the work of actual experts. AI work looks expert-ish to outsiders in a field but if you really know a subject it’s almost always bullshit dressed up a bit.

Everyone in the Trump coalition voted for someone to get got. Most of them didn’t realize that they were that someone to someone else.

They plan to do this my stripping 501c3 nonprofit status from hospitals. This would destroy the American healthcare system and cause a cascade of hospital closures. Do they know that? Not to mention people won’t want to be physicians without forgiveness as an option www.forbes.com/sites/adammi...

This was my argument during our hospital town hall last week - they are going to come for us anyway, we should absolutely go down swinging. Hiding is not an option.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

RFK’s confirmation vote is coming up Children are so vulnerable and are so often either discounted or used as pawns in the political game by adults Make no mistake: this confirmation will hurt children. Will make them sicker, more open to preventable disease and even death #PedsICU

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Excuse my French, but I think we in medicine should collectively take a stance of “fuck you, make me.”

"To condone policies that the profession knows will compromise health—or to remain silent and look away—is to be complicit in putting population health at risk" To every university, every public hospital, every academic society: SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION. #medsky

Can we take to the streets yet? Like everyone is remarkably subdued despite how fucking awful the last 10 days have been. We don’t have to be a nation resolutely walking to the gallows

I finally received an email from my institution responding to the funding freeze and it’s to… instruct NIH funded PI’s to cease all DEIA activities as ordered. No willingness to fight what amounts to an illegal order out of fear of retribution. Cowardice.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means. A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

As a pediatric hematologist oncologist I’d like to remind y’all that federal funding for ALL childhood cancers combined is only 4% of overall cancer research funding. CHILDREN with CANCER. Who deserve every single chance they can get yet are shown over and over how little our society cares.

I just finished my MoCA Peds 2024. I have to say, I think the #PHM questions are poorly written, purposefully vague and designed to trick us instead of actually testing our knowledge. I have a much easier time with #GenPeds and I haven’t thought about some of those topics for a decade
