Kind of makes sense. As capitalism tends toward monopoly in all things you either need New Zealand bunker money or you will become soylent. Your 401k will not matter.

What would your diversification look like? Whatâs the max youâd keep in the stock market to make sure a black swan event doesnât surge your portfolio over a billion? Would balancing between stocks, real estate, gold, and crypto be safe?
Elon posted this yesterday. Just for fun I did it with my before/after cancer PET scans that I had already posted online. In the âbeforeâ scan Grok missed the massive tumor lighting up my liver, and in both scans it flagged a non-existent âarea of concernâ in my chest. Other than that, works great!

To be fair he didnât say it would be a good opinion.
I canât imagine asking an AI about medical crap at this point in time.

Open evidence is useful in the right hands, but yeah itâs not great for making diagnoses or judgment calls obviously
I asked a potential PCP if/how he uses AI. Young guy. He was also skeptical of using it for diagnosis. Summarizing research, using it cautiously, was as far as he was willing to say it was useful right now.

I think there are dedicated models that can outperform doctors in some circumstances.
Those tools are obviously backed up by ethics committees, peer reviewed research, and oversight by experts in the field
Just like Grok I assume

Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine.
We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects.
Meta is currently being sued for intentionally using an addictive algorithm. Hopefully they lose and then in the future Musk gets sued for this.

Probably not that an average person can find when they are freaking out about a symptomâŚ
Yeah in terms of interpreting image scans I canât imagine human radiologists could out perform AI. If the AI isnât better canât yet, the main issue is training data scarcity due to companies not collaborating or legal restrictions on data sharing. Thatâs not all of what a radiologist does but there is one example of a medical tasks where AI should be much better if properly implemented. If the diagnosis involves synthesizing the image with other data sets like genetic data and there are clear clinical guidelines how to do that, then the AI should crush. Thatâs the kind of stuff it works well for
How well are imaging results collected as a function of what is found on surgery or other follow up testing?
One would hope that is tracked so quack radiologists would be identified but :shrug:
I have explicitly said I donât hate the guy. Am I in?

No sir, you would be out.
Seems unfair. Sure, I hate most of what he says, does, and stands for. And itâs disgusting that money gives him obscene power to do stupid and harmful things, but other than that? Heâs fine.
Hahaha you would be so out, sir.

In October 2024, the Georgia secretary of stateâs office launched an investigation after receiving numerous reports from residents across several counties saying theyâd received partially prefilled absentee ballot applications from Muskâs America PAC, according to John Fervier, the State Elections Boardâs chairman.
America PAC had also failed to display in a conspicuous location that this was not an official government publication, was not provided by the government, and was not a ballot, Johnston added.
