I hope no one needs an MRI this year. The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half. No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).

🛰️ 🌍 We have done a write up on the first ever OHBM Satellite Meeting, organized by the SEA-SIG in collab with OHBM!! This meeting was a great success, and we're excited to open the doors to more sustainable ways to connect with other OHBMers in the future ✨ Check it out here! ⬇️

Le problème décrit ici (utilisation de gen AI pour faire de l'analyse de données et poof en fait les données étaient hallucinées depuis 3 mois), un cas d'école qui doit soulever deux questions : - pourquoi personne n'a remarqué ça plus tôt? - s'il faut tout revérifier, gagne-t-on vraiment du temps?

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
