Exquisite corpse (from the original French term cadavre exquis, literally exquisite cadaver) is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule (e.g., "The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun." as in "The green duck sweetly sang the dreadful dirge.")[citation needed] or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed... This technique was invented by surrealists and is similar to an old parlour game called consequences in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Surrealism principal founder Andre Breton reported that it started in fun, but became playful and eventually enriching. Breton said the diversion started about 1925, but Pierre Reverdy wrote that it started much earlier, at least as early as 1918... Later the game was adapted to drawing and collage, in a version called picture consequences, with portions of a person replacing the written sentence fragments of the original.[9] The person is traditionally drawn in four steps: The head, the torso, the legs and the feet with the paper folded after each portion so that later participants cannot see earlier portions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse

Matt Zeigler: The Tiny Experiments Of Time Binders: Anne-Laure Le Cunff Meets Chris Mayer On JUST PRESS RECORD. I've been dying to release this conversation between Anne-Laure Le Cunff and Chris Mayer for Just Press Record. I strongly suspected an ex-Googler turned learn-in-public neuroscientist would have a thought or two about speaking with a multi-disciplinary investor who’s got a language philosophy soft spot. But, what I didn’t expect was just how switched-on these two professional curiosity cultivators were going to get by each other’s work. (more)

Shoshin (Japanese: 初心) is a concept from Zen Buddhism meaning beginner's mind. It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying, even at an advanced level, just as a beginner would. The term is especially used in the study of Zen Buddhism and Japanese martial arts,[1] and was popularized outside of Japan by Shunryū Suzuki's 1970 book Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoshin (more)

Epic's overhaul of a flawed algorithm shows why AI oversight is a life-or-death issue. Epic Systems, the nation’s dominant seller of electronic health records (EMR), was bracing for a catastrophe. It was June 2021, and a study about to be published in the Journal of the American Medical Association had found that Epic’s artificial intelligence (AI) tool to predict sepsis, a deadly complication of infection, was prone to missing cases and flooding clinicians with false alarms.

John Shagoury, president of Nuance Healthcare, says While the HIT Policy Committee has recognized "electronically capturing data" as part of the "Meaningful Use Of EMR" criteria, the rich nature of the physician narrative needs to be specifically identified. In order to ensure that patients' medical records do not suffer in quality, and that caregiver communication via shared notes does not lack necessary detail, electronic health records (EHR) must not be reduced to point-and-click templates alone (Structured Data). The physician Narrative should be accounted for and measured as part of quality care tracking.

The VA and DOD have spent over $1 billion dollars and began their EHR project over a decade ago. Unfortunately, the bureaucratic giants are far from reaching full EHR interoperability (InterOp) by their mandated live date of September 2009.
