Sleep apnea occurs when your airway falls closed while you sleep, causing you to stop breathing. This will cause you to partially wake up to get more air, sometimes many times per hour, depriving you of the deep sleep your body needs and flooding your system repeatedly with panicky "wake up!" hormones.

The consequences of sleep apnea are no joke. In addition to fatigue and irritability, they can include anxiety, increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and hypertension which can lead to heart problems, blood clots and stroke. It has a huge effect on quality of life and your health down the line.

The good news is that it's pretty easy to get tested for sleep apnea, and the treatment usually works great and starts helping right away! You'll need an appointment with a sleep specialist who will probably give you a small monitor to wear overnight at home. The monitor records your vital signs while you sleep, then you turn it back in and the doctor looks at the data.

If you do have it, you will be given a CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) machine. This is a small, quiet machine that sits on your bedside table, hooked up to a mask that you wear on your face, and basically blows air to keep your airway open. There are different styles of mask you can try out to find one that is comfortable. You'll need to have distilled water to fill the machine's reservoir. You'll need to wash the parts regularly to keep bacteria from growing. All that may sound like a pain in the butt, but everyone I know who uses one--and I know several!--has found it to be worth it!

There's a misconception that sleep apnea only affects obese people, or only old people, or only men. None of these are accurate!! Sleep apnea is common and under diagnosed. Get tested and find out so you can be healthy and have energy for the things you love!

Those are Expert Systems, tuned to do exactly one thing. If you (say) ask a medical expert system a question about financial law, it's useless. The autopilot that flies a 787 has no idea how to drive a truck on the freeway. A Coulter Counter is excellent at identifying lymphocytes in a blood sample but can't predict the next card in a blackjack game.

And so on.

The problem with so-called generalized AI (AGI) is that we don't have that yet. It doesn't exist. It MIGHT some day, but AGI has been "10 years away" since the 1980s. The goals keep moving as we learn more about how people and machines process data.

But the current crop of AI techbros have been selling generative Large Language Model AI (LLM) as AGI because generative systems do a good job of faking it. There's no actual thought going on, merely the illusion of thought via predicting the next word in a sentence accurately.

If you let a human toddler listen to 800 hours of YouTube car influencer videos, that toddler might end up sounding like a car influencer. They'd parrot horsepower numbers and 0 to 60 times, mention EV range and MSRP numbers.

But they wouldn't understand any of it.

That's ChatGPT.

And yeah, it's worse than useless because it doesn't even know when it's lying or hallucinating. It just babbles convincingly until you stop it.

But for techbros to make money selling that as "AI"? It's the perfect scam, especially if you don't understand how it works.
