This evening I get my first 'free' hour of electricity.
It's not a full hour but a free 1KwH to be used within a set time slot.
I'm glad I remembered just as I was about to put the washing machine on this morning.
I won't be using extra, just shifting the time I do the usual stuff.
A new concern about AI in medicine, just as the UK are rolling it out in the NHS.
"We have spent 2 years worrying that AI will tell patients things that are wrong. The harder, more insidious problem is that it will tell them things that are coherent and that they will remember the coherent version as the truth. Our job is no longer only to correct the record. It is to find out who wrote it."
MedPage TodayOpinion | AI Doesn’t Just Misinform Patients. It Gives Them a Plausible Story.Premature assumptions from artificial intelligence can act on both sides of a clinical encounterMany musicians I know, those who dont have perfect pitch, use electronic tuners now.
But the diabetic nurses use them to check the sensation in my feet.
I doubt any of the people in my area went to the USA, but Im expecting lots of noise tomorrow night.
I need to find my earplugs.
Replying to @Thayer@mastodon.social
I couldn't get through the new AI phone system to book an appointment or talk to a human.
I speak standard English but it didn't understand me.
Several attempts to get my date of birth then it couldn't get my name (one of the commonest in England).
Finally it asked me to spell it starting with "a is for apple".
I guess the USA company never heard of the standard international way to spell out words.
I gave up. I also put in a complaint but no response.
