A critique of longtermism by Dr. Alice Crary

"An absolutely brilliant critique of longtermism by Dr. Alice Crary. I highly recommend it! So nice to see other philosophers sounding the alarm about how dangerous and deeply flawed the longtermist ideology is. Again, very highly recommended:"

Too late to save environment, says Green Party co-founder - BBC News

Too late to save environment, says Green Party co-founder - BBC News: "50 years since the first public meeting of PEOPLE, which would become the Ecology Party in 1975 and the Green Party in 1985. The group was formed in a Coventry pub by Mr Benfield, fellow estate agent Freda Sanders and solicitors Lesley Whittaker and her late husband Tony."

The%20digital%20remedy%20for%20the%20UK

The Microsoft pitch ot NHS in FT by%20Microsoft: "Nuance’s system is an example of “ambient intelligence”, through which users engage with technology through voice and physical gestures, rather than using, say, a keyboard; in a healthcare setting, this feels far more natural and unobtrusive for patients than having their clinician’s gaze glued to a computer screen.

One care provider already using this technology is Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which has integrated Dragon Medical One with its broader workflow technology4. The deployment has helped the hospital cope with a shortage of administration staff, to ensure patients’ notes are entered into their records and that outpatient letters are automatically despatched to those who need them.

In time, Nuance’s Dr Wallace sees the technology going further. The company is already experimenting with conversational artificial intelligence. “The doctor and the patient sit in the clinic with a whole array of smart listening devices and sensors, as well as voice biometrics to sign them into patient records,” he explains. “The technology captures the conversation, with natural language processing in the background picking out the key clinical terms and turning it into a structured codified note; at the end of the consultation, the doctor has the note in front of them and just has to sense-check it before signing it off.”
