I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Piss ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched Pee-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in rain…

    I also agree.

    However these medical LLMs have been around for a long time, and don’t use horrific amounts of energy, not do they make billionaires richer. They are the sorts of things that a hobbiest can put together provided they have enough training data. Further to that they can run offline, allowing doctors to perform tests in the field, as I can attest to witnessing first hand with soil transmitted helminths surveys in Mozambique. That means that instead of checking thousands of stool samples manually, those same people can be paid to collect more samples or distribute the drugs to cure the disease in affected populations.
