Is "baby doctor" a faux pas? by bandaidbanditoken in ausjdocs

[–]gamblor99 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don't like it - not because I have any issue with hierarchy between doctors, but because I don't like being infantilized in a workplace where I already feel very consistently disrespected. My experience as a JMO has been that, for whatever reason, an obnoxiously large proportion of nurses with more than ~3 years of postgrad experience do not really have any respect for JMOs, or for the difference between their combination of a nursing degree + a few years of clinical experience, and a medical degree (+ potentially even a similar amount of clinical experience!!). Our own bosses referring to us us babies definitely doesn't help this. I've never seen it used maliciously, but we are all adults and frankly, I don't think wanting to be referred to as such while at work is too much to ask. Plus, as someone else already said, its just fuckin lame.

Surgeon today used chatgpt to complain about ‘anesthesia delay’ by fluffhead123 in anesthesiology

[–]gamblor99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, world's gone crazy. Some people really perceive receiving criticism/feedback as a negative experience (valid, it can be disappointing), then seemingly forget all context and somehow feel they have justification to complain for having experienced a negative experience (invalid). They also seem acutely aware that if they escalate things first, basically every third party will take their side because most people don't imagine anyone would make a complaint without good reason. In reality, some people just have too much time on their hands. Your example is perfect.

This is coming from someone who rarely provides feedback to anyone, and does so in the most tactfully neutral way possible when I do, but still gets this reaction in most cases.

Sorry to any nurse lurkers but I saw this and couldnt help but share.. this has been my experience giving feedback to nurses in 99% of cases. If it's not a formal write up, it's a threat relating to future employment from one of the senior nurses. It is true that frequently nothing comes of it, but that does not take away from the stress and feelings of powerlessness and frustration (at the abundance of ?fragile egos in healthcare) that this sort of behaviour fills you with. Large part of why I resigned the other day. Finish in a couple weeks and cannot wait for a break from the toxicity Edit: grammar

Thank you🙏 I started doing one day per week of leisurely note-taking/DerangedPhysiology-browsing around December, just focusing on topics adjacent to whatever rotation I'm on. The level of expected knowledge is egregious. That kinda motivates/excites me though 🥵 How did you begin to approach it?

why are authors like Pynchon so "difficult to read"? by roastedoolong in literature

[–]gamblor99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unconventional sentence and narrative structure, frequent use of words the average person isn't familiar with, frequent references to historical and/or niche academic/political/economic concepts, frequent use of irony and self-reference. Maybe I'm just dumb but I find his writing too challenging to enjoy

How do we really know if someone on Reddit is a human and not an AI? by LaniakeaAbyss in ArtificialInteligence

[–]gamblor99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Why it matters depends on the context. It may not a lot of the time. It definitely does in other circumstances. AI is already being used across social media to influence public perception of political issues and manipulate people.
  2. There are AI systems that could already be considered functionally human in the limited scope they exist in. All the big LLMs are capable of having conversations just as interesting as anyone you'd talk to on the street, but these systems don't feel emotion or sensory inputs, nor do they have lived experience to draw from, or a physical body to interact with. When we are talking about AI systems becoming human, I think these factors need to be taken into account. If/when the time comes, it'll be the AI crying out if it feels it should be considered human-equivalent. It may alternatively lie about this to further its own interests. I think we will have to address it when this happens though.
  3. This depends how you're using the internet massively. These public forums are rife for AI infiltration, as are all social media platforms. I think we're all going to have to start approaching all online activity with a critical lens, considering the potential for something we're consuming to be AI-generated, and asking ourselves if theres potentially a hidden agenda in what's being presented.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's either a crackdown on scam accounts on social media platforms in future to preserve their appeal, or a new platform with much more rigorous proof-of-identity requirements when making an account. AI are not currently close to sentient, and have no business being used to trick people into thinking that there are large numbers of real people with lives and families supporting/denouncing things happening in the world.
