I was predicted BCB at A-level. I got AAB. I technically needed AAA to meet my Oxford conditions. St. Anne's let me come anyway. They understood I was more than a letter on a piece of paper. Do you know what doesn't have that kind of understanding: an algorithm.

Another issue with *that* #fatima ad is the implied OR. We are obsessed with binaries. Did we 4get 'AND' exists? Nobody is one-dimensional. Where are the pirouetting pen-testers? The bboying devs? I ❤️ dance. Last I checked I could still boogie & write code. Both bring me joy.

There is something very meta about trying to get ethics approval in order to do research about ethics.

I absolutely cannot put finger to keyboard until I have a plan of what to write, otherwise i feel very very lost. So it’s a *HUGE* relief that ~ 600 ~ references & hours later, I know where I’m going & this giant plan exists outside of my head. #phdlife #phdproblems

YET AGAIN there's a big-name journal article doing the rounds waxing lyrical about LLMs for healthcare cos it answers *some* questions correctly *some* of the time about *some* people. Do celebrate tech successes but don't get carried away. Be critical:

After a morning of talking about AI hype vs hope: A reminder that my guide to "thinking critically about AI in healthcare" or (in my words) being "skeptically optimistic" is on google drive here: . It's designed to help cut through the BS in this space.

"Generative AI will be transformative for the NHS" yes, BUT it'll only be transformative in the *right* way if we design it to be: I'd still like to see more investment in/ investigation of GenAI uses for backend operational efficiency not just clinical.

Admittedly the bar is not very high, but please meet the best thing to come out of 2020: FINCH! Not a replacement for our gorgeous Scout (2010-2020) but a wonderful new addition to the family, helping to fill the hole he left. 10 points if you know how the names are connected.

Jenna Rink was right, being 30 is much better than being 13 but 2003 is not looking so bad right now! Very weird way to enter my 3rd decade #sociallydistancing in my flat on my own but c’est la vie - at least much time for reading! Wash your hands 4 me & enjoy living #onlife 😉

*Structured Procrastination* Cannot cope with the amount of AI BS currently washing around so putting together a structured guide to "Thinking Critically about AI for Healthcare" as a means of combatting some nonsense & planning next two chapters of PhD. Shareable when done.

It’s almost as if we need standardised methods for evaluating efficacy and cost efficiency of software (esp AI) before we let it a) be sold direct to patients; and b) disrupt well-evidenced and thought through NHS care pathways. Who knew?!?

Babylon always claimed that their AI would eventually start to help reduce the costs of delivering remote GP consultations. This was the central fallacy. Babylon is the most expensive failed experiment on digitising primary care to date.
