The newsletter explores two diverse technology-related topics: conspiracy theories about weather control and advancements in AI for heart attack prediction. Despite claims by figures like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene about the ability to control weather, scientific scrutiny reveals these are unfounded. However, such beliefs highlight the trend of increasing distrust in expert knowledge, particularly following extreme weather events.
On a separate note, the potential of AI to predict heart attacks represents a paradigm shift in cardiology. Startups apply AI algorithms to analyze millions of CT scans, aiming to identify patients at high risk for heart disease. This innovation could significantly enhance early detection and save lives, although its effectiveness at scale remains untested. The challenge lies in addressing implementation issues and redefining what constitutes disease, which may reshape future healthcare delivery.
