Hey Hoffman, remember the sneezes you had in succession last winter for 2 weeks straight? I asked chatgpt and tells me is brain cancer. Are you going to start cancer therapy ASAP?

PS: for the people that still remember WebMD at the start, they would never trust a machine for full diagnosis, let alone considering this as an option

Reid Hoffman: the original LinkedIn Lunatic

"Sir, you seem to be low on vitamin C, which gave you scurvy, but Grok says that it is more likely to be an psychosomatic response to an internal conflict between the way you live your life, and the Hitler inside you waiting to be let out"

Image recognition to help radiologists find tumors is probably fine; especially since you can usually run those models locally.

These morons think ChatGPT is “conscious” and “was trained on humanity’s collective knowledge”. THAT is the problem with AI Derangement Syndrome

EDIT: aw fuck let’s not use that acronym

Literal blatant HIPPA violation, giving personal medical info to AI companies in exchange for useless and dangerous advice

Context: Coding in medical nomenclature refers to code blue (life threatening emergency)

It is very curious rhetorical move from:

If your doctor isn't using AI, they are incompetent and awful and should be considered malpractice

to

We shouldn't be forcing these Big Government Regulations on the itty bitty small bean doctors who just want to help people

Techno-Libertarianism in a nutshell. It is never a serious analysis of best practices and procedures. Always some hollow appeal to legalism out of one side of the mouth and denouncement of bureaucracy out of the other. And all in pursuit of selling a new line of magic fucking beans to the rubes.

Counting the days until Dr. Oz is talking about LLMs like he talks about ginseng and acai berry juice.

This shit is bananas

I check it out once in a while to see what's going on, and the OpenAI people apparently seemed to try to fix the sycophancy problem by turning it into an insufferable pedant.

"I want to check... you should put pants on before leaving the house, right?"

"That's not exactly right. Putting pants on involves putting your legs into the leg holes in the pants. After that you should zip and button any zips and buttons on your pants."

Older adults have always made a fool of themselves when new tech comes out as they scramble over each other to either voice dramatically out-of-touch opinions or avoid it entirely while preaching moral panic. This time around with AI, there's not a big financial barrier to access so the youth are equally in on the game.

I had a very entertaining time asking search engine AI about various bacteria when writing an open book exam.

Ask how X bacteria acts in the oral cavity, and the AI summary calls it a beneficial species

Ask how X bacteria relates to periodontal disease, and the AI summary tells you it is a pathogen of utmost importance.

It answers solely based on how you pose the question and does not even provide an accurate summary of the websites it purports to have used as sources.

I hope his doctor does ask Chat GPT and it prescribes him a penectomy.

We should ask AI if tech CEOs are worth keeping around despite the negative impacts of AI construction and implementation.

The number of competent experts who are impressed by an LLM wielded in their specified field, is as vanishingly infinitesimal as legitimate and justifiable invocations of the term ‘AI’.

Those who have expressed the greatest enthusiasm for ‘AI’ are typically the farthest removed from actual, nuanced comprehension.

It’s a grift economy built on statistically luke-warm, vibe lobotomised corpses.

I just wanna know how much the AI lobbyists gave him to say that..

Elon Musk's AI recommends Ivermectin and anal bleaching, because it's biased. I don't care if what I said was true.

But it is biased.

Imagine doctors using the same AI that convinced that poor, lonely guy to kill himself!

A professional using AI as part of your diagnosis is fine.

A professional using AI to diagnose you is not.

To put it another way. If I had a condition, and my doctor used and AI to look through thousands of studies to find a treatment regimen that fits my particular health profile better than the standard treatment and they then review the sources and decide that it would be a safer and more effective option than the standard care, then I'm all for that. If my doctor says "I asked this AI, and it said do this", then I'm definitely not doing "that" until I check in with another doctor.
