And if you were a peasant within the city of Baghdad in 1258 - blissfully unaware of the world outside its city walls - the hopes for your future must have felt as lidless as the sky.
Right until the Mongols showed up.
Your corpse-fat would have sublimated into the fog of choking putrid rancorisity cloaking the city as your bones - bleached white by the heat - lay in the open sun for scavengers to pick through.
Prescience is a gift. Fear is a survival instinct.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp says the company’s products are “essentially progressive.”
“I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir — all of our products are essentially progressive,” Karp said.
@suchenzang Had a similar issue with FedEx. Had GrokBot hammer call while I looked over the live transcript while working on other stuff. Recommend letting AI deal with their corporate mess
And the GOP - with control of the Presidency, Congress, and Supreme Court - could easily have fixed the worst provisions of Obamacare.
Instead, it chose corporate lobbyists and crypto scammers over everyday Americans
@pgipe@AnthemBCBS Because the product you actually want - paying a modest amount to hedge against financial ruin while paying routine costs yourself - is illegal under ACA.
Having been part of a local AI rollout at a health system, these orgs don't need "FDA clearance" to start implementing AI locally (starting as alerts and working up to diagnostic assistants). They can fine tune and optimize their models a lot quicker than an external entity like @certumaai can - because they are their own clients and own a billion times more data than any vender will provide you. They are also much better at running trials (eg Mayo and Kaiser) than an external org like yours that will need a CRO and lacks the internal connections to the FDA that they have.
You're burning money on a product whose only exit is an acquisition (ever unlikely in this financial environment and with the frontier labs seeking to do everything in house)
If this is a fun personal project now that you've made your billions, you should continue.
If not, you're wasting your time (unless you want to go after smaller markets like Latin America and etc but I suspect the rate of return there is insufficient for what your investors require)
Best of luck
@martinvars@certumaai As a clinician, I don't see how @certumaai or it's competitors will be able to compete against Kaiser and Mercy and Bon Secours once their armies of informaticians get serious about model building. They have billions to toss at this
@martinvars@certumaai What's stopping a conglomerate like Kaiser from training their own models on their decades of accumulated radiographic and EMR data across multiple states? They can also validate their models in house since their EMR lets them capture outcome data
You can thank the Fed govt and all the "opioid crisis" grifters for banishing any physician writing outpatient opioid scripts to the lowest depths of Hell for merely the slightest suspicion of running a pill mill or for intentional patient ODs

“I just had a primary care doctor cancel my pain management contract because I went into a flare and was given Dilaudid in the hospital. He wrote me a script for Suboxone.”
Suboxone is her punishment
Let’s face it, that’s all Suboxone is.
Open wide and put one of those nasty heroin films in your mouth so you can lose your teeth.
Claims to be an AI researcher but could have literally asked any frontier AI:
"Evaluate this deck. Evaluate this business model. What is the best fundraising strategy? Is trying to raise on X a good idea?"
Also, couldn't even bother asking an AI model to add a theme to the slide deck smh
Politics 2032 - A forecast
Stating the obvious: barring a miraculous comeback, the 2028-2032 president will be a Democrat.
The president after that will be the America’s Hitler.
Unless ASI rewrites physics, it seems increasingly clear bailout GDP growth isn’t coming. Technology will again redistribute the wealth, not accelerate it.
So social security is projected to go insolvent during their term. They will try to patch by diverting funds from other programs.
Faced with Tax payments into a system they know for certain they will never reap the benefits from. And now divesture from disability programs, maybe even healthcare programs to prop social security.
Americans will pendulum swing to the right one last time.
But this time it’ll be the Far Right for real. The far right liberals projected onto Trump in 2016.
By then Nick Fuentes will be a household name, just shy of the legal age to run for President. But make no mistake, if Democrats happen to oversee a debt crisis, even if they couldn’t do anything about it.
It’s Fuentes’ faction who will rise to shocking levels of power, almost 100 years after the rise of the man with the mustache. As for a candidate crazy enough to ride that kind of movement to the presidency? It would have to be someone recognizable, with limitless cachet through controversy. Someone with “an obligation to show people new ideas”. Someone with a background capable of laundering the more outlandish views which define the so called Groyper agenda.
Some would call him an artist. A hater, a visionary, an antisemite, a lunatic, schizophrenic. An autist and a father.
One of “the last real niggas.”
Ye makes a run for it in 2032.
