I don't get the sarcasm here.. Instead of sniping with snark (see HN rules, please) post your better take.

Is it not literally true that he is calling for action from the populace without doing it? You all can only lift a finger to downvote a literal call to action lmao

Sentence not long enough

Not if they are all different and produce negative effects

People have been saying this since I joined

I’ve found a problem with LLMs in general is that it is trying to mirror the user. If the user is a world class software dev you will get some good stuff out of it. If the user is not experienced at programming you will get something that resembles that out of it.

Ironic that he is a cardiovascular surgeon offering his opinion on what is a sufficient assessment for OB/GYN care

It's not really ironic at all. It's entirely possible for someone to be a well-credentialed liar/conman.

I do not trust Oz et al to make this anything but an unethical grift. But Ironically we already have a lack of continuity of care, providers who are so overburdened that they cannot give any human nuance, and a complete lack of coordination across visits or diagnoses. So, America has done what it usually does; create a problem and then offer to sell the subpar solution. also, the healthcare industry has used impoverished urban areas as guinea pigs for training programs and hypothesis testing for many generations, why not the same benefit/detriment for rural America?

This was the same argument made for Google Wave and Google+ and both completely tanked

The tech behind wave eventually made its way into Google docs though and pioneered collaborative document editing, so wasn't a complete failure even though the product itself was killed.

No comment on Google+, Google has a storied history of failure on any kind of social media/chat type products.

Where Google wins is just simply having enough money to outlive anyone else. As the saying goes "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" In this case, Google is the market and they can just keep throwing money at the wall until OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. go under.

Google Docs has no features remotely like what Google Wave was.

And there was collaborative editing long before Google Wave.

> made its way into Google docs

Google didnt make it though, they bought a startup which did it and integrated their tech.

Social media has strong network effects that keeps competitors at bay. What network effects are OpenAI/Anthropic/etc accumulating?

Yes, but Gemini is actually good and so are their APIs.

And not just by the day! The weekly limits are the biggest mistake imaginable for maintaining user engagement on a project.

If all of 2025 was overestimated, possibly for political purposes, then why believe that the 2026 numbers are accurate?

Revisions are normal.

It would be quite hard in the long run to make faked BLS numbers line up with other independent data points, like ADP's payroll reports and the IRS's revenues.

Exactly. So we should not believe numbers posted ASAP to Yahoo and other for profit media to drive engagement. Wait for revisions from the source.

Cheap publishing that reaches across the world has created a race to the bottom.
