News you won’t hear – Labour Government cuts life-saving AI cancer tech funding as Glasgow pushes on with it to save lives

Professor John Robertson OBA

Thanks to Dottie for alerting me to this.

In the Guardian today, the above and:

Ministers have cut millions of pounds of funding for potentially life saving AI cancer technology in England, which cancer experts warn will increase waiting times and could cause more patients to die.

From NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, a site avoided by BBC Scotland and local Labour politicians, Anas Sarwar or Jackie Baillie, in November 2024:

A woman whose lung cancer was detected with the help of Artificial Intelligence has praised the “incredible” speed of her diagnosis and treatment. Diane McCallum, 60, was referred for a chest X-ray at New Stobhill Hospital by her GP in April this year after she had been struggling with a long-term, persistent cough. Her X-ray image was analysed by AI software, qXR, which flagged up an abnormality and placed it in a priority pile for examination by a radiologist.

It’s just not what Sarwar and Baillie like you to think about Glasgow. They prefer:

  1. Huv you no heard–cancer wis cured 40 odd years ago. AND–big pharma buried it.

    Its called Ivermectin–patent on ivermectin expired in 1996–go on, laugh. BUT before you laugh do some homework.

  2. ” A woman whose lung cancer was detected with the help of Artificial Intelligence has praised the “incredible” speed of her diagnosis and treatment ” tells you more about the sum of human knowledge to date and the means by which it is analytically examined under traditional mechanisms v AI.

    AI is not as it’s hyped up to be, some ‘superbrain’ capable of solving absolutely ‘everything’, it more accurately cuts through all the bullshit we’ve become so accustomed to in arriving at a conclusion, by simply examining the information – Throw the Grenfell Tower question at AI and I’d almost guarantee you will get a very different picture to that where the Inquiry is headed – That’s why politicians are so anxious to control development .

    1. RE: “AI … more accurately cuts through all the bullshit we’ve become so accustomed to in arriving at a conclusion, by simply examining the information”

      No, it does not “examine” info but mindlessly collating it.

      Everyone SHOULD of course get what AI is REALLY all about but most people CHOOSE not to want to understand it …

      Like with every criminal inhumane self-concerned agenda of theirs the psychopaths-in-control sell and propagandize AI to the timelessly foolish (=”awake”) public with total lies such as AI being the benign means to connect, unit, transform, benefit, and save humanity.

      The official narrative is… “trust official science” and “trust the authorities” but as with these and all other “official narratives” they want you to trust and believe …

      “We’ll know our Disinformation Program is complete when everything the American public [and global public] believes is false.” —William Casey, a former CIA director=a leading psychopathic criminal of the genocidal US empire

      “Repeating what others say and think is not being awake. Humans have been sold many lies…God, Jesus, Democracy, Money, Education, etc. If you haven’t explored your beliefs about life, then you are not awake.” — E.J. Doyle, songwriter

      The 2 major OFFICIAL deceptive fake FEAR-MONGERING narratives or phony pretexts (ie, lies, propaganda) nearly everyone, including “alternative news” sources, have been spreading is (1) that the TRULY big threat is that AI just creates utter chaos in society and that it might achieve control over humans (therefore it must be regulated, ie monopolized by the typical criminal governments); and (2) that we, the US, have to invest heavily in AI technological development so as to stay ahead of other nations, such as China (https://archive.is/pBzAt).

      The TRUE narrative (ie empirical reality) virtually no one talks about or spreads is that the TRULY big threat with AI is that AI allows the governing psychopaths-in-power to materialize their ultimate wet dream to control and enslave everyone and everything on the whole planet, a process that’s long been ongoing in front of everyone’s “awake” (=sleeping, dumb) nose …. https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

      The proof is in the pudding… ask yourself, “how is the hacking of the planet going so far? Has it increased or crushed personal freedom?”

      “AI responds according to the “rules” created by the programmers who are in turn owned by the people who pay their salaries. This is precisely why Globalists want an AI controlled society- rules for serfs, exceptions for the aristocracy.” —Unknown

      “Who masters those technologies [=artificial intelligence (AI), chatbots, and digital identities] —in some way— will be the master of the world.” — Klaus Schwab, at the World Government Summit in Dubai, 2023
