There is no relationship between the two types of AI featured in the post. They're completely unrelated stories.

    That’s bullshit and you know it.

    None of these models exist in a vacuum. If one company has a specific model that another doesn’t, other companies will buy access to it. That’s the entire business model.

    Meta doesn’t need to use MetaAI for it. They’ll use PharmaAI for $1M a year if it saves them $1M and $1 by firing people that could cost them.

    And PharmaAI isn’t gonna only sell access to medical schools and hospitals for life saving purposes. They’re gonna sell to whoever pays.

    And AI routinely breaks the rules if you prompt it correctly. Convincingly tell it to ignore HIPAA, and it’ll give you everything it knows about a person. If hospital A (conveniently in network with Metas offered health plans) uses PharmaAI and Meta uses PharmaAI, then Meta will inevitably have access to the data. With enough money or the right prompting. These shithead companies have exactly zero privacy safeguards.

    We're not talking about vague hypotheticals. We're talking about a real incident described in a real lawsuit that occurred in the real world. Please put away your hypotheticals, they have no place here.

    There is zero allegation in the lawsuit filed by the plaintiffs that Meta used a cancer-screening AI. It seems that Meta just tried to get an AI to plan their layoffs, and they fed it data based on past layoffs. Since human beings discriminate against people with disabilities, the AI trained on their work also discriminates against people with disabilities.

    I'm not going to address the tangent you went on. If you want to talk about some other hypothetical scenario, have fun. But I was talking about the real case being discussed here.
