“Would rather have disabled people with cancer suffer and die…”
My guy, that’s not a lack of LLM access, it’s a completely fucked US healthcare system that forces people onto the internet because they can’t get what they need from the state, you goofy-ass weirdo.
chatbots are shit doctors.
Well yes of course but also restricting access to information machines doesn't exactly help much either.
Do hallucinating LLMs, that have done such things as convince a child to commit suicide before, really count as “information machines”? The Mayo clinic website might take a single whole other braincell to read through but at least it’ll be written properly.
I mean, the fact that you consider these programs to have enough credibility to be called “information machines” is exactly why they’re so potentially dangerous.
I hate to break it to you but.. they're not really "information machines". Google search is a better information machine.
