Is the code written by the deepseek model? I should probably give up on being a software engineer if it is.

Give up and become what? Most white collar jobs will be automated in the coming years. You think doctors' jobs are safe?

Not OP, but, anything that actually physically affects the real world for the better? For instance, large infrastructure engineering and construction projects are not going to run themselves any time soon. The world doesn't revolve around ad and fin tech.

Yes, doctors are safe. Because they do things. With their hands. That no one else does.

Nope.

Healthcare megacorps are buying up independent practices like crazy. All because doctors can't keep up with the bullshit IT required for insurance, state mandates, etc and that's in addition to the insanity of even renting commercial real estate for an office these days.

These megacorps set quotas and push doctors to nickel and dime like crazy. They sure as shit will spend the money to find robots that can give you a prostate exam with a robot dildo.

If you want to checkout duckdb try QStudio. It's a free sql client with duckdb integrated: https://www.timestored.com/qstudio/help/duckdb-sql-editor . Disclaimer: I'm the main author.

Big fan of QStudio! Thanks for building it!

That's only true of surgeons :) What if your specialty is nonsurgical (internal medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, etc)?

Also, a hallucination for 'SELECT mising_field FROM borgus_tuble' is one thing, hallucinating that taking a dose of Cl Na O along with CH3 CO2 H will cure covid is another thing entirely

Almost all specialties do various technical procedures that only them really know how to do. The extreme is psychoanalytic psychiatry, which are the only ones really doing nothing with their hands (yes, interventional psychiatry is a thing...). Now, you could argue that 'yes, but most of the times it's done by techs/nurses'. Well, no. When things go south, and in all places where there is noone else to do the stuff (of which there are many) docs are on their own.

Regarding surgery, I expect it to be one of the easiest procedures to automate, actually (still quite hard, obviously). Because surgery is the only case where there's always advanced imaging available beforehand, and the environment is relatively fixed (OR).

Uh, pediatricians do a lot with their hands. I don't think my kids (or future grandkids) will be seeing an AI/robot doctor.
