A short break in Zadar

Kornati National Park In order to see the consultant in timely fashion about instigating disease modifying treatment for the Crohn’s, I had little choice but to cancel a 5 night trip to Bilbao. To compensate, I booked a 4 night trip to Zadar, Croatia, and I just returned home this morning. Zadar Staying in the Old Town, my accommodation was a simple but practical room at the…

April in Amsterdam

Amsterdam Aside from the easy opportunity to have a crazy head trip of hearing bar-goers reciting prayers, Amsterdam is an ace destination. No better time than spring when the famous tulips are in bloom, and the trees are in blossom. I was fortunate to get 6 days of blue skies. Hotel Arena Day 1 Aer Lingus brought me over on an early morning flight, the journey being not much more than an hour duration.

How am I now?

The most notable differences between then (let’s say a year back) and now are that all 4 limbs have grown weaker with intrusive constant prickly paraesthesia in all limb extremities. This has begun in more recent times, the past two months.its both unpleasant and very disabling. I think the average person can possibly imagine this as there’s no one element out of the ordinary experience, only that it all coincides in one blow-out disability.

@stux I’m creative & artistic but I do enjoy playing around with AI - sadly I think the ship has sailed as regards competing with human creativit

At sea again and it’s rough

Though not quite as bad as this! Today I skipped self-service breakfast & lunch as the ship is being battered by the open seas and stayed in my cabin. We are heading down south to the sheltered and deeply cleft fjords. Itinerary: Santiago to Buenos Aires There’s a lot of rough sea days on this itinerary, but it is the price you pay for seeing a lot of remote and difficult to access areas.

What an improvement with just 3 doses of gastro new meds!

As per my previous post from yesterday, my Gastro-Enterologist put me on new medications for my small bowel inflammation. Desperate for a chance to get out of pain I started taking them immediately. Was a little sceptical if my pain could be relieved, but it didn’t take long to get positive results! The Gastro-Enterologist is astute in his prescribing and always seems to be on the ball…

Neurology Clinic Visit

Yesterday I attended the public Neurology Clinic where I was seen by a neurology doctor and the Professor in charge. My overall medical picture had changed a lot since I last visited the clinic, with the onset of Crohns and dermatology symptoms. I had a thorough neuro examination, and then the doctor went through the findings of the Lumbar Puncture and Visual Evoked Potential tests I had undergone since last visit.

AI GONE MAD

1. AI has been feeding on the creative efforts of humans for a while.

We provide "grass" for this hungry digital bovine. Shown: pixelated cow labeled COWGPT

2. But as the internet increasingly becomes filled with AI-generated content, AI is consuming itself.

Researchers at Rice University have compared the resulting data corruption to mad cow disease, spread by cows eating other cows.

Cow eating ground up cow with hoof sticking out

3. They say "without enough fresh real data, future generative models are doomed to madness." (Model Autophagy Disorder)

Cows eating other cows, devolving into multiple legged three eyed AI cows

4. Is this really the dream of the future? A diseased digital brain full of misfolded data prions leading us to certain death?
