  • If you want to visit a Doctor for every minor thing feel welcome. So far LLM's have correctly predicted every health issue I have had and provided better and more accurate information than the doctor visit afterwards.

    lol no

    "easily just do the same search you would have after" truly the llm is very helpful and not just an uncertainty adding middle step that through your own admission you rely on over medical professionals.

  • You quite literally cannot trust them, their produced information entropy is too high. I understand how much training they have on medical text, you dont understand how little that means. These models are fundamentally incapable of assessing the truth of a statement, you are using something you dont even understand to give you advice about something it cannot reliably give and lack the expertise needed to understand how accurate they actually are at any given answer, on a topic that directly influences your actual physical wellbeing!

    "just try it bro it's good i promise" you should actually prompt an llm about a topic you know about in detail. the amount of errors are rampant, then apply that same inaccuracy to topics you know nothing about.

    my next recommendation is that since you are not a healthcare professional, do not give medical advice like "use llm" as you personally clearly cannot verify the accuracy of llm for this role.

  • except the "answer" is likely to be wrong such that the same search needs to be done sans ai to verify it. you do not understand ai if you think they provide the same answers, they are probabilistic bullshit machines. Google does not provide answers (well didnt used to, when it was better). it catalogued places to find them. your analogy is more accurately "who needs libraries when you have books".

    Do not ever use llm for medical advice, doing so will literally harm and kill people. if you want bullshit, just make some up, you dont even need the llm for that.

    i will repeat this in no uncertain terms, llm cannot provide information, trusting one with your healthcare in any capacity is Stupid. it is stupid, harmful, and will kill people. if you value your health at all, just use normal web searches to get info from medical websites, call nurse hotlines, use urgent cares, call doctors offices for advice or appointments.

  • yes though normally pee is brown/red from myoglobin accumulation (muscle breakdown) which is a sign of many things, some of them normally fine but many are extremely life threatening, and can lead to kidney failure. if your pee is ever brown or red you should most likely see a healthcare professional and have them do a urinalysis.

  • they do not and saying this sort of thing actually harms people. do not trust an llm with anything medical, ever.

    llms have no conception (of anything) of truth, you are getting a probabilistic bullshit. in a literal sense.

  • to the people reading: for most people unless your sense of hydration is deficient, often due to age, just drink when you're thirsty. fixing chronic fatigue has no one simple answer, it's a symptom with lots of possible causes.

  • nuclear

  • killed hundreds of thousands

    more like a few thousand ever, if you are really really conservative tens of thousand, though the methodology to get there is unscientific. tmi killed nobody, fukushima will have killed nobody. meanwhile people falling off roofs installing solar or accidents working on wind are much more common. keep doing solar and wind, but your perception about nuclear is wholly irrational and unfounded.

  • nuclear

  • sure, like corners are cut in every industry including renewables (which have a higher accident rate even). yes a nationalized nuclear power program is less perversely incentivised. if you look at countries where nuc is accepted more you wont find insane accident rates nor are plants bombs.

  • almost certainly doing those things and more (especially lin alg and diffeq solutions, and who knows what equivalent mathematical representations). Why wouldn't it? even stereotyped, there are subtle feedback variations you need to account for.

  • no not everyone is stupid but lots of people are, i.e. dems, republicans, liberals, leftists, some more news themselves. focus on community building and reaching out to people who are less informed especially as the many traumas of this administration become realized. good video.
