Akin to the Generalist-Specialist paradox we are starting to see in medical AI as described in @NEJM_AI ai.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.105…
I'm observing a mini Moravec's paradox within robotics: gymnastics that are difficult for humans are much easier for robots than "unsexy" tasks like cooking, cleaning, and assembling. It leads to a cognitive dissonance for people outside the field, "so, robots can parkour &…

In an editorial, V. L. Murthy, MD, PhD, writes that we may be entering an era of specialist–generalist medical AI paradox, wherein AI more rapidly advances in performing tasks that humans require specialization to perform than in general medical tasks. nejm.ai/4nm6054

Very good point. But the cognitive impact of technology is a recurrent question over at least the last 75 years (more recently for Search—see article below).
There's a lot to be said on this newest preprint showing that reliance on LLMs in writing tasks leads to a 'consistent underperformance' in neural and behavioral levels with potential long-term consequences. Interestingly, I think this ties to similar but (early)…
Pleasure and honor to have you, @ben_warth!!
Wonderful visit @harvardmed and @HarvardChanSPH. Really nice to meet colleagues and friends including @chiragjp @HeatherEliassen et al. Thanks for inviting me to give a seminar on #dataquality in #exposomics. Great discussions. #exposome #metabolome #metabolomics #TeamMassSpec

Celebration of the life of Atul Butte. Join colleagues from three universities to celebrate him at 10 am PST on Saturday.
🙏 💯
So sorry to hear this Chirag. He was a big personality and a lovely man.
🙏❤️
Passing of @atulbutte is a really sad news. I feel we have lost one of the biggest champions of a very important cause - 'using data at scale to improve patient care at scale'. We should all be grateful for what he did and also that he inspired so many more to carry the light…
Fitting link. Reminiscing on Atul today also has me thinking of Picard and Q, when Picard quotes Hamlet. Terribly sad day, that infectious enthusiasm joy of Atul’s 🔗 youtu.be/rHVDJtRIizs?si…
Heartbroken to share my mentor & friend Dr. Atul J. Butte @atulbutte has passed. He saw potential in me and turned it into opportunity-- for me, and so many others. We bonded over Star Trek and he was our Captain. Picard’s parting toast in his honor, final episode:…
