I wonder what the actual cutoffs are. The article is scarce on details but does seem to point to one political side or the other acting politically - either fast tracking approval for a fiscally irresponsible project, or pulling funding because they disagree with renewables.

The "fast tracking" accusation is not credible without evidence. This loan took years to go through the LPO process, here's an example filing from 2022: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/12/16/2022-27... .

"The "fast tracking" accusation is not credible without evidence."

It was approved in a flury of approvals between the election and inauguration. So that's not direct evidence. However, do you have direct evidence that the revocation was just based on it being renewable? Sure, there's circumstantial evidence of it. If there's circumstantial evidence for both positions, we need some hard evidence to support either one.

Okay you have a point. AI probably would do really well when short case abstracts start walking into clinics.

How else would a study scientifically determine the accuracy of an AI model in diagnosis? By testing it on real people before they know how good it is?

Why not ? Have AI do it then have human doctor do a follow-up/review ? I might not be a fan of this for urgent care but for general visits I wouldn't mind spending a bit extra time if they it was followed by an expert exam.

This mish mash of cherry picked examples and outright distortions does not belong on HN.

I’m sure move fast and break things, now with AI (tm) will reduce the deepening monetization of the doctor-patient relationship that’s the root of your complaints.

Sometimes I just need a prescription. I don't know why I have to drive somewhere, fill out a form, wait, see a nurse, tell them what I wrote on the form, wait some more, see a doctor and tell them what I wrote on the form and have him write me a prescription. Why can't I just chat with an AI bot and get my prescription? Much cheaper to administer which helps monetization (!) but much better and cheaper for me. Things…

>Why can't I just chat with an AI bot and get my prescription?

Because people have decided that whatever drug you are taking shouldn't be taken without a doctor's oversight. If you have a problem with that conclusion, the response should be lobbying to get that drug reclassified as safe for over-the-counter sale, not completely removing the doctor's oversight from the prescription process. Ironically, your proposal here is using AI to treat the symptom that frustrates you without any attempt to diagnose or treat the actual root cause of the problem.

They're restarting some nuke plants too. This seems like a decent idea given the power demands of data centers.

Within the scope of US energy, restarting old nuclear plants has a negligible impact. Less than 1% net gain.

Building new ones will take 10+ years, and the climate crisis is a today problem.

Also, at the rate technology is changing, building new nuclear plants seems silly.

> Yeah, they're going to do all they can to block cheap renewables and give handouts to fossil fuel companies. Many AI people in positions of influence have argued that AI will all but solve the climate crisis. Viewed from that angle, it would make sense that you wouldn’t care about how dirty the sources of energy is on the way to AGI because once there, the climate crisis will be magically solved. Somehow.

Some people really need to re-watch The Matrix

Doesn't teledoc already solve this? We use it for your exact scenario and reasons. No Ai needed.
