Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal 🚨 — AND THEY’RE ACTUALLY GOOD AT IT Medtronic tested its Hugo robot in 137 real surgeries — fixing prostates, kidneys, and bladders — and the results were better than doctors expected. Complication rates were super low: just 3.7% for prostate surgeries, 1.9% for kidney surgeries, and 17.9% for bladder surgeries, all beating safety goals from years of research. The robot got a 98.5% success rate, way above the 85% goal — meaning it didn’t just pass the test, it basically set the curve. Out of 137 surgeries, only 2 needed to switch back to regular surgery — 1 because of a robot glitch, and 1 because of a tricky patient case. This doesn’t mean robots are replacing surgeons tomorrow, but it does mean your next doctor might have a very expensive metal sidekick. Source: RTTNews In reality, this is robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). The Medtronic Hugo system is controlled by a human surgeon who operates it from a console, using robotic arms for enhanced precision, dexterity, and visualization. The robot does not act autonomously. Your text is misleading. Elon Musk @elonmusk Robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years and the best human surgeons within ~5 years. @Neuralink had to use a robot for the brain-computer electrode insertion, as it was impossible for a human to achieve the required speed and precision.

AI can help with diagnostics. Doctors missed a woman's thyroid cancer. AI told her to check her thyroid. She found out she had thyroid cancer.

Speaker Johnson told Biden, "Mr. President, the export terminals (LNG) are in my home state." Biden did not seem to recall signing anything about LNG exports. It seems the autopen has been working overtime. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
