Earlier quoted context omitted.

Parent was probably referring to OpenAI having access to therapy notes, once GP sent them, and no legal responsibility to keep them private.

I'm sure OP knows this, thought about the risk, guessed the probabilities, assessed the nature of her therapy sessions, and decided the system she was building is worth the risk of her therapy content being available with an intuitive chat interface. Not every therapy session is embarrassing, incriminating, or particularly interesting to anyone but you.

Off topic,but where did that gendering come from in your response? I am generally indifferent to personal pronouns but somehow this came across as particularly jarring as I guess it felt like a projection of misogynistic views of female weakness/need for therapy/emotionalness/etc. They/their might have been more appropriate here.

I have a large org-roam note system. I would like to create a pipeline where I can ask natural language questions, and it will build SQLite quries to efficiently crawl through the database and find what I want. I haven't gotten around to it though.

Not exactly what you're looking for but I a few months ago I spent a day building a llama-index pipeline against my markdown notes with a really privative note crawling implementation, and had surprisingly good results for question answering.

I don't use an org-roam note system but I've been working on a similar and highly opinionated note system that I'm always making tools for. And I'm always interested in seeing people's ideal note systems.

I want this for my photos. I'm not a good photographer, but I have taken tens of thousands of photos of my family. I would love to provide a prompt for a specific day and persons and have it create a photo that I never was able to take. I don't mind that it's not "real" because I find photography to be philosophically unreal as it is. I want it to look good, and inspire my mind to recreate the day however it can imag…

interesting idea.

completely unrelated i just read a scifi story where a technology was developed that could revive dead bodies for a short while in order to pose for family photos that they hadn't created before the person passed away.

obviously going way overboard for something AI can do today, but probably the author wrote the story before that.

Maybe not exactly what you’re asking, but I started doing talk therapy last year. It’s done virtually and I record the session with OBS. As soon as the recording finishes, the following happens: - The audio is preprocessed (chunked) and sent to Whisper to generate a transcript - The transcript is sent to GPT-4 to generate a summary, action items, concepts introduced with additional information - The next meeting’s da…

I hope you're the patient in this scenario, otherwise this is an egregious HIPAA violation.

Might still be a violation if they're the patient? Unless therapist and their employer's consent is given and ofc dependent on the relevant jurisdictions (IANAL).

Has anyone seen or used something that can train on a complete imessage history?

Presumably, I have more than enough messages from me along with responses from others to chat with a version of myself that bears an incredible likeness to how I speak and think. In some cases, I'd expect to be able to chat with an LLM of a given contact to see how they'd respond to various questions as well.

English is not my first language, so I beg for your forgiveness that I didn't use the they/them. In my language, there is no gendered pronouns, so it's hard for me to guess what's the correct way.

When I use he/him, people tell me I assume everyone on HN and tech is a male.

When I use she/her, you come and label me as misogynistic, too.

At one point I just give up. Or you know, you could also assume positive intent and not label someone misogynistic based on a comment where gender was not at all important to the discussion.

you can use "they" at every where today. but I don't whether someone will accuse you support Trans community.
