All the nightmares of AI in hospitals.

Tracking everything a patient says in the ICU in order to deny nurses the ability to complain about unsafe staffing levels.

.coda - I’m a neurology ICU nurse. The creep of AI in our hospitals terrifies me     By Michael Kennedy and Isobel Cockerell - 12 November 2024 We felt the system was designed to take decision-making power away from nurses at the bedside. Deny us the power to have a say in how much staffing we need. That was the first thing. Then, earlier this year, the hospital got a huge donation from the Jacobs family, and they hired a chief AI officer. When we heard that, alarm bells went off — “they’re going all in on AI,” we said to each other. We found out about this Scribe technology that they were rolling out. It’s called Ambient Documentation. They announced they were going to pilot this program with the physicians at our hospital.  It basically records your encounter with your patient. And then it’s like chat GPT or a large language model — it takes everything and just auto populates a note. Or your “documentation.” There were obvious concerns with this, and the number one thing that people said was, “Oh my god — it’s like mass surveillance. They’re gonna listen to everything our patients say, everything we do. They’re gonna track us.”

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.

Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.

My public comment at the CDC HICPAC meeting on infection control in healthcare.

This link goes directly to my comment, but I highly recommend going to the start of the public comments to listen.

I simply think basing our entire infrastructure and economy and automation off of the internet was a Bad Idea

I hope that everyone who's mad about the kid getting a life sentence for hacking isn't just mad that the "danger to yourself or others" criteria can be weaponized by corporations, but also that "danger to yourself or others" can be weaponized at all.

no, hacking corporations does not make you a danger to others and it's complete bullshit that courts can claim so in sentencing you.

but also no one should be involuntarily institutionalized due to subjective risk assessment, period. and no one should be involuntarily institutionalized at all.
