#Interpretation of algorithms

[drchristophedelongsblog]

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medicine is profoundly transforming practices, and this raises important questions about the ability of geriatricians and general practitioners to adapt.

Here is an analysis of the issues

Growing complexity of medicine with AI

Preventive and predictive medicine

AI can analyze huge amounts of data to identify individual risks and predict disease occurrence.

This requires a deep understanding of algorithms and their interpretation.

Diagnosis

AI helps in interpreting medical images, analyzing biological data and detecting complex patterns.

This requires an ability to validate and integrate AI results into the clinical context.

Therapeutic

AI personalizes treatments based on individual patient characteristics.

This involves knowledge of AI-based therapeutic options and an ability to monitor their effectiveness.

Capacity of geriatricians and general practitioners

Continuing education

Continuing education is essential to keep physicians up to date with advances in AI and its applications in medicine.

Interdisciplinary collaboration

Collaboration with AI specialists, data scientists and other healthcare professionals is crucial for effective use of AI.

Decision support tools

AI can provide decision support tools to support physicians in interpreting data and making clinical decisions.

Specificities of geriatrics

Geriatrics, by its holistic nature, is particularly concerned with the management of multiple pathologies and fragility.

AI can be a valuable asset in synthesizing complex data and personalizing care plans.

The role of the general practitioner

The general practitioner, through regular monitoring of the patient, is on the front line to detect changes and refer to specialists.

AI can help refine its diagnosis and monitoring.

In summary

AI represents a challenge, but also an opportunity to improve the care of elderly patients.

Continuing education, interdisciplinary collaboration and the use of decision support tools are essential to enable geriatricians and general practitioners to adapt to this evolution.

General practitioners and geriatricians will have a key role in using AI as a decision-making tool.

mage viktor discourse again on twitter and all i can say in my little corner over here once again is, I don't know why the entire fandom takes it as canon that mage Viktor failed to save every world he manipulated.

Canon does not provide evidence of this. This is fanon speculation. It's a fine headcanon to have, but everyone talks about it like it's canon when it isn't. Canon is ambiguous about the outcome of the timelines mage Viktor altered. The little nods we are given point, in my opinion, towards the opposite conclusion, that he successfully averted destruction.

I've written meta on this before but in summary:

1) 'In all timelines, in all possibilities' is worded precisely, it's not 'out of all timelines'; the implication is that every time, Jayce brings Viktor back from the brink, not just in our timeline. 'Only you' doesn't refer to our timeline's Jayce, it refers to all Jayces. Jayce always brings him home. If Viktor continuously put the fate of each timeline in Jayce's hands and Jayce failed over and over, I don't think he'd say those words. And the way he says them matters. His words are tinged with wonder, not sorrow. As if over and over again, he is shown that Jayce saves him, and it continues to amaze him. He doesn't sound defeated, like this is the next in a long line of Jayces he's sending off to die. The feeling is that Viktor's faith in Jayce has not been misplaced.

2) If mage Viktor doomed every timeline, there would be hundreds (or more) mage Viktors. All running around manipulating timelines. I highly doubt the writers wanted to get into that kind of sticky situation. The tragedy of mage Viktor is that he is singular. Alone. Burdened with the responsibility of the multiverse. The emotional gut punch of his fate is ruined if other timelines led to the same outcome, and from a practical standpoint, having multiple reality-bending omniscient mages would rip apart the fabric of the arcane.

There are other points, such as there being only one corrupted Mercury Hammer and our Jayce is the only one to receive it, and the fact that if mage Viktor is as omniscient as he is implied to be, he could easily step back into other timelines and correct course, because it's highly unlikely he could sit still and watch things go down in flames. But these things can be argued elsewhere.

While I love conversations about mage Viktor's motives and selfishness vs altruism, the writers & artbook have expressed that Jayce and Viktor care greatly about Runeterra and want to fix their mistakes to save it, and that their reconciliation is symbolic of Piltover and Zaun coming together as well. Yes, they make disastrous decisions towards each other, making choices for the other or without the other, which has negative consequences for their relationship and for Runeterra - but I think fandom pushes their selfishness even past what's canon sometimes, as if their entire goal hadn't always been to selflessly help the world around them. Their final reconciliation is about bridging the gap that grew between them - the pain and grief and secrets, betraying themselves and each other - to mutually choose each other openly and honestly. Part of the beauty of their story, as expressed by the creators, is that in their final moments, they chose each other and took responsibility for their actions by sacrificing themselves to end what they started, together - and that choosing each other saved the world. TPTB have stated this - that Jayce and Viktor are the glue holding civilization together, and when they come back to each other, they can restore balance. It's when they're apart, when they hurt each other and miscommunicate, when they abandon their commitment to each other and their dream, that the greater world suffers. Their strife is mirrored in the story-world at large.

Mage Viktor is framed as a solitary penitent figure, damned to an eternity of atoning for his mistakes. He paid the ultimate price and now is forced to live his personal nightmare of exactly what he was trying to avoid for himself with the glorious evolution. The narrative clues we're given point more in the direction that he saves timelines rather than dooms them. If Viktor's actions kept killing Jayce, the very boy he couldn't bear to not save each time, it would undermine these narrative choices. Yes, Viktor couldn't stand to live in a world where he never meets Jayce, so he ensures it keeps happening. But in that same breath, he couldn't bear to see a world where his actions continue to destroy Jayce and destroy Runeterra. His entire arc in s2 is born of his selfless desire to help humanity, help individual people. He would not lightly destroy entire worlds. That's his original grief multiplied a thousandfold, and narratively it would lessen the impact of the one, true loss he did suffer, his own Jayce. It wouldn't make sense for him to be alright with damning other timelines to suffer the same catastrophic tragedy that created him. I mean, maybe I'm delusional here, but is that not the entire point? Because that's what I took away when I watched the show.

As I said, I love discussions about mage Viktor, as there's a lot to play with. All I wish is that the fandom at large would not just assume or accept the Mage Viktor Dooms Every Timeline idea as canon, when there is nothing in the actual canon that confirms this. Maybe people need to just, go back and rewatch the actual episode, to recall how mage Viktor is presented to us, and what it's implied we're supposed to take away from his scenes, and separate that from the layers of headcanon the fandom has constructed.

are people like Aware that christianity considers basically all forms of fantasy to be inherently evil, is that common knowledge or is that more lore i am only privy to because of the pentecostal cult shit lmao

edit because i love kicking beehives and I do not want any misunderstandings of my position going on here: "lore i am only privy to" doesn't mean the lore doesn't exist for every kind of christian, we're all reading the same book aren't we. the pentecostal flavor of christianity being more obviously a textbook cult does not mean the more lukewarm versions of this belief system aren't also inherently damaging to the human psyche, mine was just more up front about it lol

here's a take you can cancel me for: it's exhausting when transmasc spaces require censoring of any mentions / discussion of pregnancy or periods under the premise of not wanting to trigger people. because I'm sorry but if you are specifically in a space that exists for the discussion of the unique issues facing trans men / afab people then you cannot prioritize your own discomfort to shut down normal everyday conversations. you cannot hold your inability to regulate your own social media consumption over someone discussing their own body, not yours, because you have framed dysphoria as the universal hallmark of the trans experience and cannot fathom when a trans masc person would be glad or excited about the prospect of getting to have their own child, and other people are sharing in that joy. there are servers and chatrooms for people who are not comfortable discussing any aspects of what the vast majority of adults experience where you would be welcome to talk about sanitized topics.

(Lyric transcripts below)

Breathe out--notice your lungs can expand now Exhale the tension from years held I will not leave if you slow down

Loosen the grip that you're holding your life with Nothing will break if you soften And learn how to rest all your senses

I promise you'll be safe I promise things have changed You can let me in again You can let me in again

Come back, into this moment Hear how our heartbeat is slowing I have room for you here, in your fullness

Tell me all that you needed I'm here, ready to listen You can share all of your heaviest burdens

I promise you'll be safe I promise things have changed I promise you'll be safe I promise things have changed You can let me in again (repeats)

how did u get to where u are now??? like I mean how did u get to a point where you have this au/headcanon thing and You get asks about it??and stuff?? just starting up my own blog and I need THE TIPS 🙃

I wish there was like a quick and easy guide I could give you but the secret is I have 0 idea, it’s mostly luck. My FNaF interpretation has literally been forming in my brain since 2014 it’s almost a decade in the making.

My main advice is just make sure you’re having fun with it. I really wasn’t expecting this much engagement, my goal was to have an outlet for all my thoughts about the silly robot bear game franchise. I’m just lucky it reached people who like it.
