@radio @reverendbigdawg There were tornadoes near here yesterday. Meanwhile, @TheZooLady and I are here, she's working on I'm not sure what, and I'm cutting #AccessAI's eeth on a lego instruction book. Christie may or may not be listening tonight; she's fighting a stomach crud. Meanwhile the project I work for as a tester is making its first big public debut down in Houston this weekend.

Thank you, @AiraVI, for informing me how badly in need of cleaning our rabbit's water was--and that just because @TheZooLady was curious if #AccessAI could tell us how full it was.

For those interested in the subject of AI describing weather, here is my discussion with @AiraVI 's #AccessAI about our current weather. I’m not sure the whole thing would fit as alt-text to the image I’m attaching, so consider the following as the alt-text:
The weather radar shows various areas of precipitation over parts of Iowa and Illinois. The heaviest precipitation, indicated by red and orange colors, is concentrated around the Davenport area and extends to the east and south. Green areas indicate lighter precipitation. The temperature is displayed as 87°F, and there are 28 weather alerts. The map features locations such as Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Dubuque, Clinton, Burlington, Macomb, Galesburg, and Peoria. The current time is 7:25 PM, and the radar is set to display past weather data.
Me: Are there thunderstorms?
AccessAI: Yes, the radar indicates the presence of thunderstorms. The red and orange areas on the map signify heavy precipitation, which is typically associated with thunderstorms. Additionally, the presence of 28 weather alerts suggests that severe weather, including thunderstorms, may be occurring or expected in the area. -

@Kaliah Exactly! I can't afford, for example, to pay @AiraVI for time with a human. But with their #AccessAI feature, I can get help with visual tasks, and even ask questions about the descriptions the AI provides me. I can show it a weather map, and it will tell me where the precipitation is and where it appears to be going. I can show it an instruction manual with diagrams and ask it to explain the diagrams to me. These are all things that were once totally inaccessible to me--I would have had to either just listen to a weather report or find a text-based forecast for the weather question, or wait around until I could get a human to help me with the manual. And for people who might have trouble speaking, AI voice modeling can help them keep their own voice when their body cannot, for whatever reason, speak. This is the beautiful side of AI. On the other hand, I do agree about the "bullshit ChatGPT" uses. So yes, while we acknowledge that there *are* misuses of AI, let us not forget AI's valuable implementations in the process. @TheZooLady

An Australian story about the need for accessible and affordable eye care
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-24/woman-chooses-to-go-blind-after-delays-at-adelaide-clinic/106602574Macular Disease Foundation Australia chief executive Kathy Chapman told 891 ABC Adelaide there was high demand for free and affordable treatment.
"It's a much more common condition than probably the health system has been ready for," she said.
Dr Chapman said about 1.9 million Australians had symptoms of macular disease but only about 40 public hospitals in the nation offered free eye injection treatments."In South Australia there's about six public hospitals out of 23 that we contacted that offer this. Compared to some other states, it can be even lower," she said.
"If we can stop people going blind it's a lot less for the health system to be paying than if you have people go blind and the extra supports that they need then."

'Melbourne resident Zohreh Sajjad has been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer but her health insurer, Medibank, is refusing to pay for the treatment that will give her the best chance of surviving.
The 49-year-old Iranian woman has already undergone chemotherapy and radiation since being diagnosed with lymphoma last year but the disease has continued to progress.
Her only hope is an innovative form of immunotherapy treatment known as CAR T-cell therapy.
It involves taking the patient's own immune cells and modifying them so when put back in the patient's body they can destroy the cancer cells.
The treatment is potentially curative but it's extremely expensive — costing upwards of $600,000 — and Medibank says the fine print on Ms Sajjad's policy means it isn't covered.'
