  • Yes, medicine works through diagnosis… which the AI did… We prefer false positives so the doctor may or may not perform further inspection, but it was diagnosed/flagged nonetheless. That doctor has a second opinion just with a computer instead of talking with his peers which may be busy. And I did not said that the doctor will trust the output blindly aren’t I? That’s why no layman should operate the AI as I said.

    this is the most brain numbing take. AI can generate 15 billion compounds with medical implications. out of those only 200 are viable. out of those 15 aren’t toxic to humans. problem is, it’s going to take 50 years to find those 200 and another 25 years for the 15. in the meantime all medical research has been dedicated to finding those 15 medications for 75 years and have completely ignored research into specific medicines to treat problems now. the biggest joke about those 15 medicines? they’re all “boner” pills because the model was trained on Pfizer data.

    Well, then that is not the fault of the AI. Why did humans act irrational as you said? The AI is just trained that way. Maybe train another AI on another data then? The concept clearly works because in the 75 years we have 15 out of 15 billion, and not maybe thousand potential from a handful of manual research which still also needs to be tested.

    what’s your point? of course you need specialists to train the models, that’s besides the point I made.

    Your point does not make sense because if AI cannot do all of that, then every early cancer diagnosis being made by a computer is not worth checking. Those 15 compounds are BS. And astronomy may be wrong. As you clearly stated yourself, AI is damn good at detecting patterns that a human may miss. If that does not mean an AI is capable of something, then I don’t know what is.




  • Every single rebuttal that you did does not paint humans in a good light. Why did the doctor perform further said testing to verify the cancer? Because an AI predict it. And we prefer more false positives than false negatives, so we test the positive.

    Testing for medicine as poison will be done no matter if it was found by humans or not. Searching for potential medicine faster is a welcome in my book. Rather than finding being the bottleneck, I’d rather test be the bottleneck. It means we will have a potential answer than none at all.

    As for the astronomer case, it is true for every field. Cancer detection? Ideally, a doctor/medical technician feed the AI the data, and the doctor must also check the output of said AI. A simple X-ray scan with a marker marked as cancer will have a lot of parameters that the doctor could understand that a layman may not. Maybe it is the size, maybe it is the opacity, maybe it is the location, and many other things.








  • Edit: so yeah, further reading into this and some video later from LowLevel confirmed that this is quite nothing burger. The “vulnerability” is an undocumented HCI command. Host to Controller Interface. Meaning that it is something the HOST (the ESP) dispatch to the Bluetooth Interface. To take advantage of such a command, you need to already have access to the ESP32 in the first place.

    So, the tl;dr is that the “vulnerability” only matters when the attacker has access to the device already. Not really that big of an issue. an attacker can gain access to the ESP32 not the device that connects to the ESP themselves. I don’t know how bluetooth pairing would behave when the device that once masquerade as a light switch now advertises themselves as smart watch. I presume it would require further confirmation from the user. If that is the case, then the danger is when ESP32 is used in a device that is already collecting sensitive information with an active bluetooth stack since that device can now be remotely hacked. But I will defer my judgement on this matter after the PoC has been demonstrated (can’t find any demo of any proof of concept attack, just the same article copy pasted multiple times on different site)
