  • givesomefucks@lemmy.worldtoTechnology@lemmy.world•Men sue hospital after DNA tests showed they were switched at birth 38 years agoEnglish
    16 hours

    A hospital statement says there’s no evidence staff was responsible for the switch.

    But Bylin, born Jeremy Morrison, says he still has the hospital bracelet that misidentified him as Kyle Bylin.

    Two years have passed since the DNA tests shattered what they thought they knew about their families — including disorienting moments, emotional family meetings and thoughts about the what-ifs.

    “Kyle is still my son — that is never going to change,” Evelyn Newton, who raised him as her own, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday. “But I feel robbed of the life I should have had with my biological son. You can’t go back and replace 35 years. First steps, driving a car, getting married — how do you make up for that?”

    The hospital doesn’t dispute that the babies were switched at some point. It says it’s working to better understand what happened, but has uncovered no evidence that its administration or staff were responsible for the lives-altering error.

    I mean, if at least one of the babies had the correct bracelet on…

    Gotta assume that are some point a nurse handed someone the wrong baby. Although the fact this dude’s mom kept the bracelet for almost 40 years and never fucking questioned why it has someone else’s name…

    They may have been stupid enough to just grab the baby that they thought was theirs at the time…

    And I was really bad. Nowadays I don’t have a chance.

    I mean, you might just not be good at it, and this is like asking how to be 7 feet tall so you can play in the NBA.

    That’s how variation works, there’s likely other aspects you’re good at and others aren’t.

    Like I said in another comment tho, it’s not like you can learn what to look for, because the things you’re conciously looking for are the same things the people making it are aware of.

    The only way to come close to “learning” is to just look at a shit ton of AI pictures while reminding yourself over and over “this is AI”. Like, for a while, maybe 30-60 minutes at a time. Do the same thing for real pictures but repeating “this is real” as an internal monologue.

    You’re just hammering a label unto your various subconscious processes until they start shoving everything into that binary label system. Either “ai” or “real”.

    But again, human variation. There’s other reasons to jog than beating Usain Bolts 100m dash time, you might not ever be great at it, you might not even see much improvement.

    But doing that enough would eventually make you better at picking up all the little signs that others are noticing. It’s exploiting how our minds work and want to see patterns.

    You can’t tell

    That doesn’t mean no one else can.

    The vast majority of people can’t tell a male chick from a female chick, which is super important for egg farmers.

    But, some people can.

    And even tho they can’t explain how they can tell, we know they can tell, because chicks grow up into hens and roosters. And they can tell almost instantly

    Stop thinking everyone is exactly like you, no one is like anyone else, we’re all snowflakes with innumerable avenues of variation.

    Because people who pick out forgeries explain how they could tell…

    And forgers paid attention to those things.

    Same with AI, people going on about six fingers means we can’t just count fingers anymore.

    Anything quantifiable, will be what the slop experts focus on fixing.

    We’re just gonna be left with the ineffable, a collection of a whole bunch of small signs were not consciously aware of and even if we try to describe we’re just coming up with post fact rationalizations.

    Like, if you showed me an AI pic right now, I’m fully confident I could tell

    But if you asked me to explain how, I’d just be making shit up like an AI would. I might say real signs that I consciously noticed, but anyone walking around with a checklist will at best gain a temporary ability that the slop will out pace.

    It’s gotta be “gut feeling”. But because most people don’t understand what those actually are, they refuse to trust it. But I bet they won’t ignore a reaction to duck if someone throws a wrench at their face.

    It’s the same thing, your mind/body deciding something without going thru the hassle of your conscious brain. It’s a bandwidth thing, you don’t need to “see the math” because that would take too long. You just gotta trust the flashing red light that says “this isn’t real”.

    It’s still weird people don’t just use spider tingles…

    We’re pattern recognition machines and we don’t need to conciously be aware of all the signs of AI.

    It would be like trying to teach an adult how to ride a bike by telling them what muscles to constrict in what order.

    With enough time and effort it might work, but it’s the worst way to learn how to ride a bike and anyone that learns and only rides a bike that way is gonna fucking suck compared to someone who offloaded the specifics to their unconscious mind and just gives general commands like “turn left”.

    Tldr:

    You can tell when it’s AI, because of the way it is.

    Trying to get nity gritty and pick out specifics isn’t sustainable long term. The only downside is false negatives from everyone needlessly upscaling pictures, but those would happen no matter what.

    Bruh it’s literally how tech advances…

    When resources (compute power) is cheap, there’s huge leaps in tech. When resources are scarce, the fat gets trimmed.

    It’s not optimism, it’s pattern recognition.

    Fucking obviously…

    Did people really just figure out their hate for discs was the hate for resellers and rentals?

    Fucking hell man, next you’re gonna tell us they sell consoles at a lost to trap consumers in their ecosystem of expensive games and not out of the goodness of their heart.

    If you just fucking realized this, it’s better than not.

    But it doesn’t mean you should be listened to, because everyone that actually cares enough to string two thoughts together figured this out fucking years/decades ago.
