Just got back from my dentist. Her boss has introduced #AI into the clinic. It claims to automatically detect many conditions and right away it found 4 issues affecting my teeth.

The only downside was that its findings were 100% wrong, which my dentist of many years' experience spotted immediately.

@Richard_Littler This is not a place where AI should be calling the shots

@Richard_Littler For years I have thought that dentistry is a racket.
If you've got a good dentist who you trust —and how does *that* happen?— keep them close.
I'm grateful that in Canada we've finally begun to roll out a national dental plan.

Thx to the federal NDP and Singh, for making this happen. And no thanks to Poilievre and the Cons. They have consistently voted against this —and other helpful policy— for years.

SO proud of all my achievements. Thanks to #AI, facts about our lives and culture are now preserved for future generations.

Some of you mentioned #Krampusnacht yesterday, but, when I lived in Germany/Bavaria, it always occurred on the 6th. And it's not called Krampusnacht there, it's called Klausentreiben. I've written an article about it for The American Bystander magazine, which should be out soon (my photos below).

Klausen about to attack me with a whipping cane. He's enormous, furry, horned; like an evil pagan polar bear with an enormous cowbell around its waist.

@Richard_Littler In Slovenia we have guys in very similar outfits, kurenti, who come around Shrovetide to scare away the winter

@Richard_Littler yes, the 6th was the date we “celebrated”.

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

@Richard_Littler You've captured the essence of Mastodon neatly there :100a:

@Richard_Littler When I see graphs being posted and numbers of "new users per day" it sounds like a backend nightmare. If the servers survive to the Twombies Apocalypse it could become and interesting place to get used to.
