I agree. The functions provided by this bed do not require internet connectivity AT ALL, let alone some ridiculous cloud based architecture. $5000 is enough to include a $200 miniPC to monitor temp and positional sensors.
Don't expect any protection from the FDA going forward.

Good; it's monopolistic, predatory, and ultimately unnecessary. The entire practice is aimed at driving consistency and forced adoption rates, not anything else.
Yes, the job market is just that bad. But I'm trying to learn GenAI.
At which point it will hallucinate that every building is a McDonald's only to get you murdered by a drug cartel gang.
Lying to you to give you that terrible restaurant recommendation. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.06105 is a white paper mathematically proving that LLMs will lie.
I have said this all along- most of AI is GIGO- Garbage in, Garbage out. LLMs were trained on the largest garbage producer in our society today, Web 2.0. Nothing was done to curate the input, so the output is garbage.
I don't often reveal my religion, but https://magisterium.com/ is an example of what LLMs look like when they HAVE curated training. This LLM is very limited. It can't answer any question that the Roman Catholic Church hasn't considered in the last 300 years or so. They're still adding documents to it carefully, but I asked it about a document published a mere 500 years ago and it wasn't in the database, but instead of making something up like most LLMs will do, it kindly responded that the document wasn't in the database. It also, unlike most AI, can produce bibliographies.
A new white paper from Stanford University suggests that AI has now learned a trick from social media platforms: Lying to people to increase audience participation and engagement (and thus spend more tokens, earning more money for the cloud hosting of AI).
The irony of the two stories being together on the front page, "More Screen Time Linked to Lower Test Scores For Elementary Students" and "Microsoft to Provide Free AI Tools For Washington State Schools" is just too good to fail to mention.
And so I'm replying to the both First Posts with it.

It's not just for Microsoft anymore
I'd mod this up if I could. The extra middle men all have to be fed as well.
For firing the Woz and canceling the IIgs line
Back in the days when she just blogged I was a huge fan, because she is a brilliant theoretical physicist and her frustrations with String theory were well founded.
Unfortunately, YouTube warped her. IMHO she completely jumped the gun when she extrapolated from her experience in theoretical physics to all of science. She now claims all of science is failing and this is extremely disingenuous and dangerous rhetoric.
That evil guy Trump has the solution, created last Friday- $100,000 minimum application fee for new H-1bs
If Trump wants to make the $100,000 H-1b fee *extremely popular among techies*:
-$30,000 to an American worker laid off in the last 36 months for retraining funds and or job coaches
-$50,000 in a trust fund for the worker to be paid upon purchase of a return ticket when the visa expires, or alternatively, to pay for a conversion to an immigrant visa
-$15,000 to the revenue to help pay for INS/ICE and the bureaucrats to process the application
-$5,000 to a company that cancels an H-1b application to hire a US Citizen
The FDA lied about it, got sued, and had to retract their statement. I have that linked somewhere around here too. Ah, https://www.bloomberg.com/news...
Your summary completely -- and I would further suggest deliberately and maliciously -- mischaracterizes the case. The article you cite states that the Fifth Circuit found that the FDA overstepped its authority by providing medical advice. Nowhere did the court find the FDA's statements were materially false or misleading -- it is and remains a fact that ivermectin is ineffective and inappropriate for treating COVID. Therefore, claiming the FDA "lied" willfully misrepresents the case.
The article then goes on to support my point and the Democratic Administration's efforts -- that misinformation concerning COVID-19 was and remains rampant, and that it needs to be combatted for the sake of public health.
Speech is not violence. Speech is not a threat to public health. Speech is necessary to find truth in society.
Look up the term, "fighting words." Then go visit a venue with a principally African American clientele, and explain how you should be free to use the N-word without consequence, because it's merely "speech."
It sounds to me like your sanctimonious polemics would be better received on X. They have a prettier UI as well. Off you go, sonny...
System restarting, wait...
