Jesus fuck. As someone who works in biotech: this is probably going to kill people.

Like why don't we just have ACTUAL DOCTORS and techs trained to do this actually test it. Wild concept I know.

Because it costs money to educate the doctors, then they want money.

It’s ok they’re replacing the doctors with LLMs now it’ll be fine I promise

Yesterday on reddit I saw a photo a patient shot over the shoulder of his doctor of his computer monitor. It had ChadGPT full with diagnosis requests.

Doctors cost money and the money goes to doctors. LLMs cost less and the money goes to billionaire fascist techbros. The fact that they're not fit for purpose is insignificant compared to the potential for techbro enrichment.

Also, doctors have an annoying habit of helping people to live regardless of whether techbro eugenics says they deserve to.

They don't care though, if anything it's more money for the medical profit machine.
