And there will be form to sign with two questions:
1. Do you want a fully qualifed spinal cord human surgeon who has spent many years studying and practicing his art to operate on you?
2. Do you want some fantasy shiny robot made of titaniun, driven by AI, which uses the combined knowledge of spinal cord surgeons to operate on you?
its a 1 for me...
- h_tbob 2y agoRight now... 1. In ten years... 2! But make sure to ask me first :)
- duped 2y agoTechnology itself is the invention of machines that exceed human capability. That's why even though surgeons still sometimes cut with obsidian blades, those blades are honed by other machines and not human hands. Robotics are already used in surgery and exceed the capabilities of the hands of the surgical team that control it. It's not a stretch to see where that goes in the future. What's troubling is that AI is not better than human brains today. It's especially good at being wrong, and making shit up. We don't want whatever tech bros call "AI" guiding surgical robots making up their own procedures when they see a spinal column that looks different from their training set.
- yawpitch 2y agoUh, just so you know, you cannot “hone” obsidian, in the sense of making it any sharper, the edge is produced by a stress fracture, not by sharpening. Also quite a lot of the world’s obsidian scalpels are still made via what is essentially just Stone Age flint knapping.
