If you are able to do evil and profit then that is a failure in law and not capitalism.
Oppression is inherent to capitalism, it requires to create and exploit a bunch of suffering persons without any good option to keep efficiency and to do the most undesirable work for very bad salary, even though it should be worth more given its undesirable.

I mean, do people no longer have any concept of ethics? And I don't mean this in the abstract sense, I mean literal practical everyday ethics. Understanding the concept of tradeoffs and consequences of actions and the rest. I feel like we've built a church (or possibly cult) that had mantras of "Innovation at all cost. Liquidity at all costs...." among a few others. With no view whatsoever as to what the implications…
I didn't say that we should give up medical privacy at all. Simply that there is, in fact, a trade off, and that the current regime looks to me both overly restrictive and poorly implemented. Wholly getting rid of medical privacy is obviously a bad idea. But perhaps we could agree that there are research purposes where greater access to data would be helpful, and that creating exemptions under certain circumstances c…
I don’t see how your particular viewpoint is any less "binary" than the other one. Collectivism or individualism is the binary option, where you land on the collectivist side of the coin.
It's mind boggling to me that people still resort to ad-hominem attacks when discussing viewpoints here on HN, when it's clearly against the rules. How do we even approach it?
The magazine I worked for at the time was about to publish an article claiming that DeepMind had failed to comply with data protection regulations when accessing records from some 1.6 million patients to set up those collaborations—a claim later backed up by a government investigation. Suleyman couldn’t see why we would publish a story that was hostile to his company’s efforts to improve health care. As long as he co…
There is a real argument on the other side, though. We're dealing with technologies that they've when given access to loads of data. Health data is heavily regulated, and rightly so, but that regulation greatly hinders innovation. Hell medical data access problems are bad enough even when we aren't talking about innovation: simple problems in sharing data between different systems/providers leads to bad outcomes all…
The argument isn't so much about how to go about technical progress but who and how to trust a Suleyman, or a SBF, etc. Some will do the hard work, meticulously build both pre- and post-regulation products, diligently deal with stakeholders, and succeed or fail to move the market. Being comfortable with saying divisive things on-the-record is a pretty key lapse in rigor.

For example what kind of work?

HIPAA regulations also allow researchers to use de-identified data.
