For those who hate me, the more you hate me, the more you help me. And those who love me, the more you love me, the more you hurt me. Love greyhounds, data, medieval sociology, abstract expressionism, tennis, crochet, 3D printing and techno. She / her 🏳️‍🌈

The vertical fixing on an old fashioned pull up door latch. It's black while the rest of the door fixing is painted white. It fits PERFECTLY.

Let’s say my hospital bought some AI radiology tools and told its radiologists: “Hey folks, here’s the deal. Today, you’re processing about 100 X-rays per day. From now on, we’re going to get an instantaneous second opinion from the AI, and if the AI thinks you’ve missed a tumor, we want you to go back and have another look, even if that means you’re only processing 98 X-rays per day. That’s fine, we just care about finding all those tumors.” If that’s what they said, I’d be delighted. But no one is investing hundreds of billions in AI companies because they think AI will make radiology more expensive, not even if that also makes radiology more accurate. The market’s bet on AI is that an AI salesman will visit the CEO of Kaiser and make this pitch: “Look, you fire nine out of 10 of your radiologists, saving $20m a year. You give us $10m a year, and you net $10m a year, and the remaining radiologists’ job will be to oversee the diagnoses the AI makes at superhuman speed – and somehow remain vigilant as they do so, despite the fact that the AI is usually right, except when it’s catastrophically wrong. “And if the AI misses a tumor, this will be the human radiologist’s fault, because they are the ‘human in the loop’. It’s their signature on the diagnosis.” This is a reverse centaur, and it is a specific kind of reverse centaur: it is what Dan Davies calls an “accountability sink”. The radiologist’s job is not really to oversee the AI’s work, it is to take the blame for the AI’s mistakes.

“Then one night,” Yuliana’s voice drops, ​“I was with a wealthy man who told me it’s no different from being with a regular woman.” She was offended, and let a girlfriend named Lucero – ​“who regularly stole from clients” – help enact her revenge. ​“As the man dropped me off, Lucero asked me to leave the door [to his house] open and I did. She stole his jewellery and a stack of cash.” Several months later, a car pulled over as Yuliana walked the streets. An angel-like vision emerged, draped in a white dress, glowing under the streetlights. It was Lucero, back from hiding to thank her. ​“She bought me a ticket to Italy,” Yuliana says of the night that began her new life in Europe.
