This is a continuation of my ongoing exploration of places and spaces. Previously: We need homes in the delta quadrant, Thinking with places, Problems are places questions are spaces.

Introduction: The Terror of the Open Field #

We tend to think of “Space” as a vacuum—an emptiness waiting to be filled. But geographically and philosophically, Space is actually a condition of high-entropy potential. As Yi-Fu Tuan famously articulated, space is “freedom,” but it is also “possibility without orientation.” It is the open field where everything is possible, which means nothing is yet distinct.

I don’t have any fun when I use LLMs to write. It may have perceived utility: popping out a LinkedIn article or two everyday. But I bet no one is actually reading. It’s a strip mall for a thumb stroll.

LLMs suck at writing. The summaries that LLMs give with the “Deep Research” are so poor in quality that I start to skim it. Yes, I skim the thing that is already a summary.

I had the strangest conversation with my son today. There used to be a time when computers never made a mistake. It was always the user that was in error. The computer did exactly what you asked it to do. If something went wrong it was you, the user, that didn’t know what you wanted. After decades of that being etched in today I found myself telling him that computers make mistakes, you have to check if the computer has done the right thing and that is actually ok. A computer that hallucinates also provides a surface for exploration and seeking answers to questions.

Reimagining AI in Healthcare: Beyond Basic RAG with FHIR, Knowledge Graphs, and AI Agents

Fri, 03 May 2024 21:15:05 +0000

Introduction #

While exploring the application of AI agents in healthcare we see that standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning methods often fall short in the interconnected realms of healthcare and research. These traditional methods struggle to leverage the structured knowledge available, such as knowledge graphs. Data approaches like Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) used alongside advanced knowledge graphs can significantly enhance AI agents, providing more effective and context-aware solutions.
