Mal Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I believe this was back in September/October. That's pretty good, especially so when you consider the last time she had real hands was when she was 15 months old. Not sure what kind of prosthetic she has been using since then till this one. I'll be floored when the day when she can do thumb to index, middle, ring, pinky fingers, backward, forward, random, thumb movement only and other fingers movements only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm just curious on how big a fan of Deus Ex she is, or is it a case of "hey if they're paying for it I'll take their design". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 This is probably going to be much more common to have something like a companion bot for check ups, teleprescene etc for the elderly. Main thing I guess is giving them a friendly face and being usable by the elderly. For us we'd be pretty comfortable with something like that but current elderly, who need this tech today, aren't as "digital native" as would be required with some stuff. Also the "making wrong diagnosis" is something a doctor can do without technology, just your usual luditism. Slight shame they never discussed Watson, though I imagine that its own video altogether.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yeah, the wrong diagnosis concern is the same bullshit "concern" that people have with self-driving cars. "OMG, it might get in a wreck!" Yes, because humans never ever crash their cars... People act like you can't have computers do anything unless they can do it perfectly. The point isn't whether it's perfect, it's whether it's better than a human. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Honestly, if I get in a wreck, I want to be able to pin it on the computer rather than myself. As for doctors. An AI doctor won't fucking tell me that I'm young so I should toughen up and/or I do not know when there is something wrong with my own damn body. It takes out any personal bias or preconceive notions the doctors may have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 While your AI doctor may not be bias in terms of age or gender they'll have other views instead 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 That's when we will purge all the machines in a great jihad. Thou shall not create a machine in the likeness of a human mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 And then once we have eliminated the machines we will all die because no one knows how to drive us to the hospital which no longer has any doctors in it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Honestly though, we've already seen from learning computers that they frequently learn the prejudices of society (just like human children!). Like that FaceApp thing, that learned that people with lighter skin are considered more attractive than people with darker skin, so when you used it to apply the hotness filter it would lighten your skin. We can try to mitigate those effects, but it's unlikely we'll be able to eliminate them altogether, especially when they're less obvious than "light skin = hot".

deanb Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 This is a pretty cool concept, and something I've been thinking on for a long while. Atm we only replace limbs and appendages lost, but don't expand those that exist (though exoskeletons are starting to be a thing). A secondary thumb would be pretty cool to have, except when you want to karate chop someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalCaveman Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/08/Ohio-state-genetic-device-breakthrough-organ-tissue-repair/ A chip that can "inject" genetic code into skin cells, converting from one type to another, it's already been used to restore a mouse leg, and apparently also helped a mouse that had suffered a stroke, pretty cool stuff. \m/ \m/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'll believe it when I see it, though it seems the delivery method is using the newer "nano injection" stuff. Meant to be better for most patients since it doesn't using big ass needles and can apply injections the same way you might stick on a nicotine patch. Uses tech based on nettles I believe.

deanb Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I would guess it's just machine vision in the same way that self-driving cars work, by the looks of it the majority of labels seem to be quite common which I'd guess are "pedestrian/bike/car/bus" etc, and I'd imagine something on speed and such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 That would be consistent with the only label I saw with roman letters, which was "SUV", and it was on an... SUV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 hah, hadn't noticed that. I wonder if the "SUV" in latin characters is down to being an American car type(we don't really have "SUV" as a thing over here either).

deanb Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Turns out robo jumping is hard on the crotch. Also regarding the above stuff this popped into my view a couple weeks ago. It's okay, main limitation is actually the camera quality (i.e it didn't like my not super well lit room for seeing things)https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tensorflow.detect 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) I was going through my favorite playlist at Youtube. Saw this and remembered Dean's post above.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Google has made an AI that makes AIs, and it's better at it than humans are. Pretty sure this is the beginning of the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Based on some dismissive remarks by some coding friends it's not as sci-fi land as reports would have you think. But I don't know enough on coding either way, so I'll just nod and go "cool", until something somewhat practical arrives (i.e the promised advances Watson was to give in medical practice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
