I mean, was it? I always felt like trackers were crappy and “real” producers used real synths and drum machines, but in hindsight we now know that some of the most creative/interesting producers were trackers

One of the great parts was downloading ft2 songs from your local bbs and instantly see how a jungle or trance song is made, and then get to work sequencing your own amen breaks.

If you havent tried udio yet, get on it. Mindblowing.

Re: slavery - Almost all societies/cultures had slavery. Many on a far greater scale than US. The US took around 400,000 slaves from africa in total while the arab world took 10 million. The reason there is a huge “african american” population and not a huge “african middle eastern” population of slave descendants is because the arabs castrated their 10 million slaves.

Additionally, while almost every culture/society had slavery, it was UK/christians who basically ended slavery globally.

I fell into the lableak/fauci covering it up conspiracy theory

Was the previous test Done with massive amounts of structured input which would be incredibly time-consuming for the doctor involved? I think the difference now is that we’re talking About making diagnosis with minimal extra work or time from the clinicians

Ok, I’ve spent the last 18 years working in hospitals, and the stats in my post are accepted in nursing research. Very open to hear where I’m wrong.

For starters, ward nurses spend 25-35% of their time doing documentation. This is doing patient notes, transcribing vitals, filling in forms and checklists, logging in and out of workstations, etc etc.

Much of this could be replaced by audio/video input.

Secondly, if the LLM can identify at risk patients or drug checks, you don’t need a nurse or 2 nurses to dispense medications or identify at risk patients. Multimodal input LLM plus a caring low skilled person can do the necessary things far more often.

These 2 factors alone can reduce nursing workload by half.

As for family doctors, I would personally be very happy to transfer my basic general care to a good LLM right now. Everything I need is straightforward, protocolised and the hassle of making appointments, delays, waiting rooms, form filling etc is more of a barrier to my healthcare than current LLM deficiencies.

Doctor here, I hate EMRs, they are oppressive, in many ways they make things worse for patients. I think the future of EMR is no EMR.

An LLM that takes multimodal input (audio, video, images, observations etc etc) and outputs whatever is required (a podcast summary of clinic patients, a checklist relevant to a patient’s condition in preop) is the future.

Forcing doctors, nurses and allied health to manually document everything they do in annoying web forms is stupid and soul destroying.

Multimodal LLMs will also replace much of medicine and nursing which is good.

No doubt openai have been training big models for the last year. If “gpt5” is only just starting it means recent training runs have had disappointing results and have been passed off as “Gpt4o” or whatever.

The value of all the AI companies is predicated on high chance of AGI, and gpt5 failing to be revolutionary may pop the whole bubble (+10 trillion of market cap)

When you’re transporting a patient from cardiac theatre to ICU down a long corridor which allows space for a bed and additional equipment (pumps, cardiac assist devices, nitric oxide dispensers) and not much else, it is super annoying (maybe dangerous) to have to negotiate a pass with a robot. I guess you can prewarn the hospital to clear the path, but pneumatic tubes work well and once installed seem very low cost to use/maintain.

They will need to be insured for that amount then. Can’t afford to insure against that liability? Can’t legally operate.

People die at age 75-90 for a reason. Its what nature intends. Longevity for the elderly is not intrinsically moral.

Loved scorched earth as a kid!
