I used to look forward to emails from Oxford about new textbooks coming out and emerging fields of research.
Now they send me this fucking attrocity of an email about an event for AI "innovation" simulation in Healthcare, generating studies.
It took me a mere 148ms to unsubscribe, the only reason the date isn't censored is because I hope somebody attends and makes a ruckus. FUCK YOU OUP.
They're definitely not getting people like me or any reputable physicians or medical researchers to go to their seminar this way. This is the equivalent to naming a movie "Melania", imo.
we're a very small niche here. talking to people in my vicinity gives an entirely different perspective on ml tools than does talking to the professionals i work with. most randos are neutral to vaguely positive on the subject, though not enough to spend money on it.
Lmao, fuck off mate. Why are you trying to normalize AI and Slopping in the Fuck_AI community?
i'm not, i'm so annoyed by it being everywhere and i don't think there is a way to use current generative machine learning models ethically. but i studied this in uni twelve years ago so i know how it was used before the bubble, and there is nothing in what you posted that says this event is about generative systems.
putting everything in the same category is not helpful because it discredits genuinely useful medical tools that have been proven to work, while simultaneously helping the openai fuckery seem more legit.
