If the model is trained like facial recognition software (which it certainly will be) then it will perform comparably. That is, it will consistently misdiagnose for people of color the same way facial recognition flags people of color incorrectly.

That's an assumption. It's also an assumption that the model would misdiagnose open sores and lesions on one type of skin vs another. Facial recognition software, the ability of the model to tell different people apart, is a hell of a lot different than identifying the mere presence of open sores and oil.

Did you even read the article?

only for patients with mild-to-moderate acne.

the AI analyzes their skin, identifies the acne problem, rates the skin's oiliness, and then generates a numerical acne severity score that ranges between clear skin and severe acne

The AI then combines that score with the provided medical information to recommend medication from a list of eight approved treatments.

Again I say, this is a limited use-case, in which a very easy diagnosis can be attained through imaging equipment. We have a limited number of doctors, they can be utilized more effectively instead of dealing with a bunch of pimple-faced teens.

Those are all about facial recognition, identifying individuals. This is more acne recognition, no? What bias can there be when identifying open sores and presence of oil?

For the love of god VOTE FOR PROGRESSIVES AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS.

If they're not in your races, then vote blue and we'll hope for the best.

Is Robert Picardo a joke to you? You're not familiar with Voyager? Sounds like you're a pompous ass talking out of it.

Training data in this case would be a series of scans of people faces with mild to severe acne. Hard to have a bias in such a limited capacity.

This is a very limited-in-scope use that may be a good scenario for AI to be used on. AI has been incredible at identifying things on X-rays and other scans, so it'll be relatively simple to diagnose someone with mild-to severe acne and prescribe a set number of medications based on that diagnosis. Couple of medications, and couple of diagnosis, and anything that isn't immediately identifiable, it sends a request to an actual doc to check it out. There aren't a ton of different things that humans get that manifest as acne, so yeah, great use-case scenario.

I mean, we've all seen star-trek, we all got used to the idea of a hologram doctor, or an on-board ships computer handling routine medical situations. This is how we get there!

I saw a study once that said that during an initial work-up, when a nurse was taking a patients history and complaint, if the nurses followed a relatively simple step-by-step guide that asked questions and worked it's way through all our systems, that the history was more complete, diagnosis was simpler, and things were less often missed, when compared to a nurse not following the handy guide. Simply put, that's how a computer model would work. It'd have a routine to go through, it wouldn't skip any steps, and through a lot of yes-and-no questions, a lot of "check this- if not that, then check this" style sub-routines, you could diagnose a LOT of maladies extremely efficiently. And with none of the bias that comes from a human doc.

Another plus, the medical robot would take women's pain more seriously than your average doctor.

This is, at first glance, just an idyllic outdoor dinner scene. A man presides over the table, giving a toast. A decadent lobster feast attended by seemingly wealthy, privileged people. Then you turn your attention to the left, the chair is slightly upturned. Is it the occupant leaning, or is something pushing it upwards? The man in that disturbed chair, what does his armband signify?

There are red splotches on the toasting mans arm, and the lady in the sunhat's chest. This is from the sun shining through the wine glasses. But there's another bit of red, a dot underneath the far mans disturbed chair. What is the source of this redness? A warning light perhaps? The initial stage of an explosion?

Look at the woman in the pink dress, she's the only one who's attention is not on the toaster. What is she looking at?

An interesting piece.

I haven't traveled nearly enough, but I'd say it's either Amsterdam, Netherlands, or Barcelona, Spain.

Amsterdam for the freedom and beauty. Barcelona because it's beautiful and on the beach.

It's not even a great beach, kinda rocky for my taste, but it's just such a beautiful city.

A lot of voters didn't bother voting in the first round, because they knew that it would come down to a second. Brazil has like 20 or so parties, and one has to get over 50% of the votes to win. Just gotta wait for the second round, no point in getting worked up about this one, everyone knew it was going to come down to these two.

It's indicative of our situation that all republicans have to do is tout some vulnerable minority to be attacked, and their base eats it up.

What troubles me, is that none of these democrats are saying the right thing in response. What they should be saying is this:

You know a lot has been said about trans people in America, but what's gotten lost is that they're Americans. They have the right to pursue happiness as they see fit, and as long as they aren't hurting anybody else, I don't give a shit what they do, and neither should you. If you're going to attack and legislatively bind a vulnerable minority population in America, you better have a damn good reason. And "ew! I don't like it!" - ain't it.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, FOLKS!

TOTALLY NORMAL!

Just the whistleblower connecting the current secretary of commerce to one of the most prolific serial pedophile rapists ever died by "suicide."

Just like Jean-Luc Brunel, an epstien linked modeling agent who died by "suicide" in a french prison!

Just like Daniel Siad, an epstien linked modeling agent that mysteriously died in France earlier!

Just like Virginia Giuffre, that linked both epstien and prince andrew!

Or even just like when epstien "killed himself," and the guy that epstien accused of trying to suicide him was also the person that happened to find epstiens "suicide note?"

Nicholas Tartaglione...

Few people had known about the note until Tartaglione, a former police officer serving a life sentence for killing four people, mentioned it last year on writer Jessica Reed Kraus' podcast.

Tartaglione claimed he discovered the note in a book after Epstein was found on the floor of their cell at a Manhattan federal jail on July 23, 2019, with a strip of bedsheet around the financier's neck. That was about three weeks before Epstein was found dead in his cell in what authorities concluded was a suicide.

One officer reported at the time that Epstein said he believed Tartaglione had tried to kill him, according to a memo included in the Justice Department's files.

It is unclear who wrote the note Tartaglione claimed to have found.

GEE! WHAT A WEIRD COINCIDENCE THAT KEEPS HAPPENING.

WHAT A CRAZY THING! YOU'D ONLY HAVE TO BRIBE AN EX-COP IN PRISON AND A FEW SECURITY GUARDS, THAT COULD NEVER EVER NOT IN A MILLION YEARS HAPPEN!
