The last three times myself or a family member have been to the emergency room in the US it's taken hours to be seen. And we have enormous medical bills and insurance premiums on top of that.
(Excepting the existential realization that the stupider a person is, the more easily they're used as a tool, of course, and keeping them in line and on track is often simpler than tech solutions.)

Why shan't I believe weird "news" like this...
And in full disclosure, I had actually forgotten the name of that and had to look it up, which from an outside perspective might also look like an instance of it.
I have an old xray from when I splintered my ulna (forarm). I'm torn, a part of me wants to see what happens, but a bigger part of me wants to never upload anything medical related to these platforms
I think it probably would identify a break when you provide the x ray to it.
What I want to see is if you take a normal picture of a broken arm or hand or finger or whatever and ask it for an x ray, if it's fake x-ray image it gives you will show a broken bone.
I broke a finger a bit over a year ago and it ended up swolen and purple for about a day. It was a reddish pink and only slightly swollen the following couple of days
Hes been doing a lot with claude and managed to get sponsored by anthropic despite calling it slop all the time. The audience teases him mercilessly about his “ai psychosis”
Jokes aside, as much as I hate AI slop this could actually be a freaking awesome use for pattern recognition that might actually improve healthcare.
But, I'm a US American so for us it costs a stupid amount of money to GET the X-Ray after waiting for an appointment, and then you play one-way phone tag waiting another month(s) for the analysis of the x-ray.
(Bonus points if you wait 6 months and pay $150-whatever for "I dunno looks fine to me.")
I dunno in a functioning society with a decent doctor:patient ratio (is there such a thing?) maybe this wouldn't be necessary, but over here for most things we're practically on our own anyway so the more DIY options the better.
Shout-out to urgent cares though. If you actually broke something they usually get you scanned and remedied pretty fast. I had a thoroughly good ouch-I-think-my-toe-broke (it did) experience with urgent care.
Edit: lol curious about the downvotes. Fans of US healthcare maybe idk? O.o
Yeah AI (not necessarily LLMs though) have been used to great effect for medical uses like that. It's a shame how most of the good work coming out of the AI/ML field gets overshadowed by LLMs
Here in Eastern Europe if you have the money you go to private clinics and for the most part you will get the care you need but even in paid ones the good doctors have pretty long wait times. And you're paying ~100 eur for 1 consultation.
Scare quotes are used derogatorily. They can often be preceded with the term “so-called”. Like so-called “doctors” will rip you off with their so-called “x-rays”, when ChatGPT will do it for free.
When spoken aloud, scare quotes are indicated by the speaker making bouncing bunny ears with their middle and forefingers.
Yes. I believe I've seen some people say "scare quotes" to refer to actual quotations which are highlighted specifically because they are alarming. Which is understandable, I guess.
The name was a reference to the lettuce thing. I've had doctors ignore crucial details. I do have some medical training, just enough to help until someone better arrives. Last time I was a hospital, me needing a cpap machine was ignored and I had to tell the, what assumed, nurse in training how to set up my IV... after they fucked it up 4 times.

Oi! Save some quotation marks for the rest of us, will ya?
Xrays cost like nothing, >$100,000 is a bit extreme
Yeah, it will take away all of our jobs.
UK version: instead of waiting for hours in hospital with a hurty hand
The last three times myself or a family member have been to the emergency room in the US it's taken hours to be seen. And we have enormous medical bills and insurance premiums on top of that.
we live in a society.
So uh... something weird happened... I asked it to take an xray of my hand and it... returned this image...
Which is clearly wrong. It must be the reason why everyone says it generates low quality slop... right? Haha... ha...
That doesn't look like anything to me
HI MONGO!
User name does not check out.
Guys... I think this might be a Velociraptor's account.
Don't be ridiculous, everybody knows
weer... velociraptors went extinct 65 million years ago.Nervous human-ish noises
Had me worried until you made those nervous human noises. Really don't know why I was concerned.
Nervous human noises are the most calming and reassuring noises!
Clever girl
if he is to be trusted, then he's probably a lizard-man -> lizard-people are real -> zuck is a lizard-man confirmed
Hello fellow human! I too enjoy the dexterity of opposable thumbs!
Hmmm... That does sound like something a human would say, but the hairs on my neck are standing up. Maybe a thunderstorm is coming?
Yer a lizard Harry!
Yer a hairy lizard!
Wait a minute.... are you a velociraptor?!?!
Preposterous! Of course I'm not! It says it in my username: AbsolutelyNOTaVelociraptor
🤨
Tobias?
Not exactly programmer but... The stupidity of some people is impressive.
I mean this is gotta be obvious bait.
Blue check mark means the user already drank the kool-aid. No reason to assume they wouldn't go back for a refill.
It's just as likely its an engagement farming account, maybe even a bot.
Tell me there's a difference

Poe's Law in action.
Sadly yes...pretty much :)
I've talked to a real live Midwesterner that thought other countries didn't exist (as far as I could tell)
How would that even work? Did they think the US gov was making up the existence of other countries as some sort of conspiracy?
Sorry you had to endure that. 🤢
I'm guessing Ohio?
Most people don't know that. Until they probably reach Kindergarten :)
I hope this is satire 👀
Unfortunately a lot of satire turns to reality these days. The Onion has a lot of work keeping ahead of the craziness.
I always assume the person with the Super Mario World cartoon series avatar is joking in any situation. It saves a lot of stress.
It's actually quite terrifying that we cannot say it's 100% satire.
An instance of Poe's law.
And in full disclosure, I had actually forgotten the name of that and had to look it up, which from an outside perspective might also look like an instance of it.
I always get that and Cunningham's mixed up. But the good news is it always looks like an intentional use of Cunningham's Law if I do.
Wow I did the same 2 days ago and it's incredible how my hand xray is identical (not similar) to the one of the guy who posted this!1!
Won't post post mine for privacy reasons
Glad you found your bone brother
I was going to reference this scene from Everything Everywhere All At Once, but got distracted by the fact that the studio is selling hotdog finger gloves.
… huh. That’s weird.
ChatGPT knows when it's being asked to identify a hotdog and doesn't get paid for that business
Ok, if anyone actually breaks their hand, take a picture and do this, cause it would be pretty funny if they make an X-ray that actually looks busted.
I have an old xray from when I splintered my ulna (forarm). I'm torn, a part of me wants to see what happens, but a bigger part of me wants to never upload anything medical related to these platforms
I think it probably would identify a break when you provide the x ray to it.
What I want to see is if you take a normal picture of a broken arm or hand or finger or whatever and ask it for an x ray, if it's fake x-ray image it gives you will show a broken bone.
How about split the difference and give it a picture of a hand with a finger bent at an impossible angle and obviously broken? /s, of course
NO slash s needed. I just figure if it's an image that's already been on the net, the AI already has data on it.
Ooh, yeah when the models go full hallucination mode I reckon it's possible!
I broke a finger a bit over a year ago and it ended up swolen and purple for about a day. It was a reddish pink and only slightly swollen the following couple of days
Lol, I'm from a country with healthcare so I just go to the doctor and my X-ray is free. Parking is also redeemable because of my job!
Hundreds of thousands for an x-ray? Just get GROK to do it. Can also do fake CT scans
You could just hire William Osman.
William Osman: hey Claude, fix this x-ray machine, GPIO diagram in AGENTS.md, make no mistakes.
Does he used AI? I was unaware.
Hes been doing a lot with claude and managed to get sponsored by anthropic despite calling it slop all the time. The audience teases him mercilessly about his “ai psychosis”
TIL; thank you for the edification. I don't enjoy much of his content, so I was out of date.
Sponsored by anthropic multiple times on William osman2
He made his own x ray in his garage.
Yes, that was my point?
I can get similar results without the ethical fallout of using AI just by holding my hand up to the sun.
Scandinavians: 🫤
no you can't. you'll fail because you'll see actual traces of your bones. That's something completely different.
whoooosh Key here is the phrase "similar results", meaning as inaccurate as the chatgpt ones.
whooooosh, I claim the sunlight is way less inaccurate compared to the clanker.
whoooooosh, I’m an airplane!
Lies. Aeroplanes go "neeyowm".
However,

What country? I got a lung xray the same week I was admitted into the hospital and it was all in a public and free hospital.
Are the triple quotation marks supposed to be antisemitic echoes ((( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses ))) ?
Thats interesting, never heard about that and I dont get it why people doenvotrd ya. Think its a good question.
They're just extra scare quotes.
Someone needs to tell me how a quote and a scare quote differ and what the point of the latter term is
Scare quotes are used derogatorily. They can often be preceded with the term “so-called”. Like so-called “doctors” will rip you off with their so-called “x-rays”, when ChatGPT will do it for free.
When spoken aloud, scare quotes are indicated by the speaker making bouncing bunny ears with their middle and forefingers.
That makes sense, but I think some people misuse that term and just think it's a fun way to say quotes.
Hmmm, I haven’t noticed the term being misused frequently. It wasn’t in this case; chunes correctly identified the scare quotes in the OP
Yes I'm not saying it was used wrong here. "So called" is how I'll try to think of it in the future. Thanks for putting it that way
Yes. I believe I've seen some people say "scare quotes" to refer to actual quotations which are highlighted specifically because they are alarming. Which is understandable, I guess.
Maybe, but I read it as emphatic scare quotes
Either they really don't trust doctors, or they're trying to be clear this is satire
From my experience a doctor isn't any better.
Name checks out.
The name was a reference to the lettuce thing. I've had doctors ignore crucial details. I do have some medical training, just enough to help until someone better arrives. Last time I was a hospital, me needing a cpap machine was ignored and I had to tell the, what assumed, nurse in training how to set up my IV... after they fucked it up 4 times.
