What if.. the reason why we haven't found aliens or they haven't found us, is that any society that invents AI just destroys itself due to stagnation? Jobs being replaced and dwindling populations, civilisations just collapsing...

I’m happy to share that I have been appointed as an Editor at @anaesjournal.bsky.social! Excited to start contributing to evidence based medicine and forwarding anaesthetic and scientific knowledge from the other side of the peer review process!
During the worst of the pandemic I'd make my way home after a shift on COVID ICU listening to songs on a playlist I kept. Just listened to a few songs on this playlist this evening and suddenly felt a surge of emotion wash over me. Resident doctors: don't underestimate how important you are. 🦀🦀🦀
So tempted to just submit. I mean it's the MEGA JOURNAL OF SURGERY!
Thank you @sethina.bsky.social @dannyjnwong.bsky.social and Krithi Ravi for this podcast. The data is clear and the need for change is now. A must listen for all anaesthetists open.spotify.com/episode/6gw8...

I had the privilege of seeing Adam Kay's This is Going to Hurt show last night when he came to Singapore. Saw him play in the UK when we was part of Amateur Transplants, but back then it was all just funny songs and comedic gags.

Can't believe it's been 5 years since we first went into COVID lockdown in the UK. It was such a crazy time when I look back. I remember ordering a couple of reusable FFP3 respirators online a few weeks prior in case we were going to run out of disposable ones at work.
I was scrolling through another social media platform reading the comments. There were just a bunch of people saying pointless stuff like "Nicely articulated." And "Very informative!" Completely AI generated emptiness. Compute cycles are being wasted such vacuous drivel. Meanwhile the ice melts.
It is no longer safe to go to the USA for any reason at all. I shall not be going there for anything. Not for a conference, not for work, not for a holiday, not to do anything there. It holds no purpose for me to visit.
Just watched the exchange between *rump and *elenskyy sounds like schoolboys bullying the clever classmate to get him to share his homework. bbc.com/news/videos/...

Come join me at the NZ Anaesthesia ASM in November 2025 at Hamilton, Waikato New Zealand! There's gonna be international and local speakers and a gala dinner at Hobbiton (used for some of the Lord of the Rings trilogy)!
It’s 2025, and the process of collaborative writing is still dreadful. Always eventually falls the to lowest common denominator of emailing word documents around.
I've been trying to support some folks who have been "clinical fellows" for years, onto the appropriate SAS contract. Honestly, at what stage did we decide to accept that the nationally negotiated contract for the work done should be optional? This is exploitative as hell.

”Perfection is the enemy of good” -- Commonly attributed to Voltaire, who paraphrased an Italian proverb in his writing. However, this concept has also been proposed by other philosophers, including Confucius and Aristotle.
It's Chinese New Year Eve Eve. Our fridge has broken down. Send thoughts and prayers.
We live in dangerous times. If you have enough money and power you are above the law.
So as expected nothing came of the sentencing. We have all been screwed over in so many ways. Oligarchs are above the law.
The world is on fire. It's mesmerisingly horrific. How do we avoid succumbing to tragedy like a moth being drawn to an open flame?
