Notice how they never cite a study or statistic that justifies AI use in the classroom. Why? Bc there is basically no evidence that AI improves student learning outcomes (and they know it). Politicians are putting corporate profit ahead of student needs—a corporate-backed science experiment on kids
Financial Times headline from 2-4-26: NHS staff boycott Palantir’s data platform over ethical concerns. Controversial US tech group was awarded a £330mn contract in 2023 to collate hospital and patient information
Boycott Palantir. Boycott AI. Divert all AI investment into democratic planning for more doctors, nurses, care workers and teachers.
I wouldn’t accept this dishonesty from medical professionals or certified medical products. But then again, those are supposed to adhere to some standards.
By aggregating (…) clinically relevant research, OE enables users to make more evidence based decisions and improve patient outcomes.
No medical advice OE is not a health care provider, and OD Content is not intended to provide medical advice (…).
Schrödingers Open Evidence
1) Improving patient outcomes
2) Not medical advice
As the AI-yes men in my environment lauded OE, I put it to the test: Cite all 22 sources from a cardiology RCT. It came up with 13, some of which were wrong.
It‘s embarrassing that the journals associated with OE allow this to stain their reputation.
"LLM diagnosis" is just WebMD with a confidence interval and no legal liability. doctors spent years learning when NOT to diagnose. that's the part these tools skip entirely.
Bei Hannah Arendt heißt es ja „Der ideale Untertan der totalitären Herrschaft ist der Mensch, für den die Unterscheidung zwischen Fakt und Fiktion, die Unterscheidung zwischen wahr und falsch nicht mehr existiert.“ Erklärt das nicht verblüffend gut den Erfolg von KI-Chatbots?
The New England Journal of Medicine Early Surgery or Conservative Care for Asymptomatic Aortic Stenosis A Research Summary based on Kang D-H et al. | 10.1056/NEJMoa2511920 | Published on March 26, 2026 Visual representations of the patients in the trial and the treatments they were assigned. Read the full Research Summary at NEJM.org.
Early surgery in asymptomatic patients with very severe aortic stenosis led to a lower risk of a composite of operative mortality or death from cardiovascular causes at 10 years than conservative care. Full RECOVERY trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/4rPaLVL

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir.
The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell.

A tweet reading 'big data is a secular inductivist cult with the belief that a critical mass of empirical information leads to a theoretical chain reaction'
I always loved this quote by Jan de Leeuw (from the before times over yonder)
An dem Beispiel wird gut deutlich, dass es hier um die Freiheit der Presse weniger gut steht als man es sich wünschen würde.
Man kann sich jetzt an der Formulierung stören oder an der Behandlung dieser Familie.
Wenn die EU nicht mit Autokratien verglichen werden möchte sollte sie keine autokratischen Dinge tun?
Doch, klar kann man das vergleichen. Ergebnis: ist in Russland deutlich schlimmer, aber hier ist man bemüht aufzuholen.
Muss der erst sterben, damit man es kritisieren kann? Sollte Russland der Maßstab sein?
Dass man jetzt Angst haben muss, auf Sanktionslisten zu landen, die die Obdachlosigkeit bedeuten, bedroht den Journalismus hierzulande mehr als Putin.
Da wird nix geleugnet, da wird festgestellt, dass im Westen auch autoritär gegen Journalisten vorgegangen wird.

Welche Posts? Und was können die Kinder dafür?
Niemand bestreitet die Zensur in Russland und die Verfolgung / Tötung von Journos, das ist doch offensichtlich.
Hier wird vom tollen Projekt EU ein Journalist mit Frau und Kindern in die Obdachlosigkeit sanktioniert für welches Verbrechen?
Der Rechtsstaat wird umgangen.
A visual representation of the RECOVERY trial, which evaluated the long-term survival benefit of early surgery for asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Preferred treatment of asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis is unclear. Guidelines recommend watchful waiting until symptoms occur, but a recent trial showed reduced mortality with early surgery. Research findings from the RECOVERY trial are summarized in a new Quick Take video. nej.md/3NF0KN2
Exactly. What ever happened to being creative and draw / take pictures to visualise things in the field you care about?
Any chance you could kindly share a version of the paper? I don‘t have access via my institution unfortunately but would be highly interested to read it.
Wikipedia now has higher standards than all universities
Today, we’ll discuss aortic dissection.
"Israel has killed dozens of paramedics in this war. Its a pattern we've seen them carry out in Gaza, its a pattern we saw them carry out here 2 years ago, now its happening again"

"The AI Grad Student": A Harvard professor describes working with Claude.
Early on, he describes misconduct that would cause any student to be terminated: "It faked results, hoping I wouldn't notice."
But he ends the essay with "Now I'm doing 100% of my research with LLMs".
Am I losing my mind?

Seems odd, that the Valsalva assist device was not compared to the modified Valsalva manoeuvre. Control group received suboptimal care.
Amazing text. Unfortunately my own university is pandering to the argument of inevitability with regards to AI use in teaching.
