Where are your promises or goals of addressing the fear that these large language model medical paperwork assistants will be implanting subtle time bombs into their reports.

We've all seen how powerful language can be in legal defenses surrounding the for profit healthcare industry of the united states.

What new "pre-existing conditions" alike thought, and legal argument, terminating phrases will these large language models come up with for future generations?


I don't understand your comment. What sort of time bombs do you mean?


I suppose “It is difficult to get a man to understand something” and all, but I’ll try to help you understand.

The OP provided you one such “time bomb”: pre-existing condition. This was, 40 years ago, a totally innocuous phrase and then it became a rally cry of health insurers’ “delay,deny,defend” modus operandi.

If a large language model is taking notes for a doctor how will you defend against it slipping in phrases such as this to allow insurers to avoid their responsibilities?

Tell me how your product is designed to defend people from health insurers, or admit how your product is designed to help health insurers.


Your comment is a non sequitur. This is a policy issue, not something that clinical AI or monitoring thereof can solve. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) prevents health plans from charging more or denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions.

HIPAA also allows individuals to request amendments to their medical records if there are errors such as an incorrect diagnosis.

If you actually form a cogent opinion of your own rather than shilling for monied interests you'll find:

All equity given to any ceo could, and should, instead be divided amongst the entire org's staff.


Or one, such as myself, could read the rage of the article as being about the consolidation of compensation of equity to the c-suite.

All equity given to any ceo could, and should, instead be divided amongst the entire org's staff.

Silly me.

Here I thought the genocide of the Palestinian people was a violent and malignant land grab and ethnic cleansing with the added touch of being religiously righteous in the eyes of the oppressors, but you've opened my eyes that these efforts are in fact meant to achieve "80% efficient solar power AND 80% reduction in power usage in data centers AND increase power output from most existing power plants by 30% AND solve power storage problem".

Thank you for your enlightening perspective.

I mean, I am still wondering how any of those metrics justify killing and starving and entire population, but I guess, "line go up!"
