‘Life-changing’ technology soon to be implemented at Baptist Health Hardin | Local News

A new technology that allows for earlier detection and treatment of lung cancer will be available to patients at Baptist Health Hardin in the near future.The new procedure, called a robotic bronchoscopy, allows pulmonologists to reach small lung lesions in the far outreaches of the lungs, said Rita Pardee, assistant vice president for surgical services at the hospital.This new technology allows for earlier detection of lung cancers, Pardee said.“This allows the patient to get diagnosis when the lung lesions is a stage 0 or stage 1,” she said. “Whereas, (otherwise), the lung lesion might grow to stage 2, stage 3 or even stage 4 in some cases before the patie...

Revolutionary Teen Driver Technology Can Save Lives

Even with automobile safety features, we cannot help but worry about our teens’ driving safety. Teen driving is the number one cause of death for teenagers. 7.8% of all fatal crashes are among teen drivers, who make up about 4% of the overall percentage of total drivers. A recent study conducted in 2022 in the US found that the fatal crash rate per mile driven for 16 to 19 years old is nearly three times the rate for drivers ages 20 and over, with the risk being the highest for ages 16 to 17.Some factors predispose teens to the dangers of being involved in road traffic accidents, including inexperienced driving, distracted driving, especially by phones and friends in the car, failure to use seat belts, and drunk driving. Even though we might feel as if they are grown up enough to be dri...

Stanford copies the ChatGPT AI for less than $600

Six months ago, only researchers and boffins were following the development of large language models. But ChatGPT's launch late last year sent a rocket up humanity's backside: machines are now able to communicate in a way pretty much indistinguishable from humans. They're able to write text and even programming code across a dizzying array of subject areas in seconds, often of a very high standard. They're improving at a meteoric rate, as the launch of GPT-4 illustrates, and they stand to fundamentally transform human society like few other technologies could, by potentially automating a range of job tasks – particularly among white-collar workers – people might previously have thought of as impossible. Many other companies – notably Google, Apple, Meta, Baidu and Amazon, among others –...

On the moral gray area of Star Wars’ use of deepfake technology

The first time I watched a Star Wars movie was when I played my mom’s old VHS tape of “A New Hope.” Maybe viewing the film via the physical medium of its era made the experience more authentic than I appreciated at the time, but all I remember was squinting to make out the pixelated stars and spaceships that looked more like grainy, fuzzy specs zipping across the screen and impatiently waiting for Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher, “When Harry Met Sally”) to show up. Leia did eventually arrive, but I only became more skeptical of my mom’s claims that the technology in the film was groundbreaking for its time. She was right, though. For better or worse, the franchise’s innovations in film editing have only grown with time, culminating in one of its more recent, much more problematic e...

ChatGPT-4 is phenomenal but its ‘hallucinations’ make it flawed

The world is witnessing a pragmatic shift towards a new era of machine intelligence and if your mind hasn’t been flabbergasted by its possibilities then you are not paying attention. A new revolution has arrived where technology is on the precipice of permanently reshaping society. Is it for the better or to give birth to a dystopian reality, is a question only time will answer. For now, a technology still in its nascent stage has overwhelmed the entire human generation with anxiety that future may look very little like the past. GPT-4 had been widely awaited ever since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late November, wowing users with its capabilities that were based on an older version of OpenAI's technology, known as a large language model.(AFP) {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSub...

David Cicilline led the fight against Big Tech. Here’s what comes next.

The House is losing its top antitrust reform champion later this year when Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) resigns. The congressman announced last month that he will retire from Congress in June to take a role as president and CEO of the Rhode Island Foundation, a community foundation and largest funder of nonprofit organizations in the state, ending his seven-term run in the House. By reaching across the aisle, Cicilline led the House Judiciary Committee, as chair of the antitrust subcommittee, in advancing a series of bipartisan proposals to revamp antitrust laws in a way that targeted the nation’s largest tech companies. Cicilline and his coalition of antitrust reform supporters said the rules on the books fail to address the modern day industry giants, namely Meta,...
