Dentistry is a profession built on trust - and trust is built in the smallest of moments.

Called to Care: A Dental Professional’s Guide to Humanizing the Patient Experience is available today.

Written for dentists, hygienists, assistants, and the teams who make every visit feel different. If you know someone in dentistry who needs this message, send it their way: https://t.co/ZSXfMvrwgC

His wife Jonelle started a foundation to get coaches to take better care of their health. 60+ teams signed up.

The American Medical Association (AMA) is being sued over CPT codes.

CPT stands for Current Procedural Terminology. These are the codes physicians use every day to describe the care we provide and bill for it.

The AMA owns the copyright to these codes, and patients, providers and health systems have to pay to access and use them.

Last year, the AMA made roughly $300 million from licensing and royalties.

Now, a lawsuit is challenging whether a private organization should be able to charge for access to a coding system that is effectively required to navigate the American healthcare system.

I want to hear from you!

If you’re a patient, have you ever had to deal with CPT codes?

If you’re a physician or healthcare provider, what has your experience been?

I have a lot of thoughts about CPT codes and the problems I have seen firsthand. I’ll share those soon 🩵

Two of my favorite universities for their academic and athletic excellence are Notre Dame & Michigan. I just read Michigan is going to pass/fail for liberal arts and sciences for freshman year. This is to alleviate the pressure put on students. What is happening to us? Pressure brings excellence. Don't get soft Michigan, it's not what you’re about.

[Joseph Younis, MD @YounisJoseph]

This is a well-designed randomized control study that asks the question: Does an LLM's ability to diagnose and manage the same medical scenarios degrade when a patient is the communicator versus a physician.

The result: 60% drop in diagnostic accuracy, 12% drop in appropriate management decisions

The answer essentially confirms the following suspicions:
1. LLMs are suggestible, naive, and sycophantic
2. Medical literacy drives output; less literacy, less accurate LLM outputs
3. Prompting still confounds frontier models' medical accuracy

It is not safe to have people trust LLM medical advice when they're incapable of detecting their own bias and inaccuracies.

It’s time for everyone to realize that the fight against data centers has nothing to do with data centers.

They have become a proxy for the hate towards AI and the concentration and accumulation of wealth it’s creating.

Until those running the big LLMs understand this and start a community tour, not to explain the benefits of AI, it’s too late for that, but to help towns and cities that may be impacted by job losses (and I’m a believer their will be a net gains in a few years), this battle is only going to get more intense and let me tell you now , no matter how much money you pay to buy politicians and races, you will lose.

One thing I have learned is being hated is not good for business.

How can they help ? They will tell you. You will need to do what they ask. Billions of dollars is a lot of money across towns and city programs. Across the major LLMs, it’s a cost of doing business.

At the same time, I would go to LA and NYC and ask the arts and creative unions what kind of programs would help and protect their artists. DO NOT GO TO THE MUSIC OR FILM COMPANIES. that will make it worse.

Don’t try to pay famous people to endorse what you are doing. That’s dumb.

Talk to artists and ask them what you can do to provide financial and creative support. Every creative I know is TERRIFIED about what AI will do to their profession. You must meet them face to face and basically do what they say.

The big LLMs have lost the PR battle. Why ? Because they all suck at putting people first. They have an SV attitude that makes them all think they are John Galt saving the
world

Given the number of data centers and power that is needed, today and going forward , If you don’t kiss the asses of the people that go to work every day, and are just trying to pay their bills, you will fall far far short of the capacity you need to make your business work.

Yep... the PT networks use this exact strategy

[Christine Price @HEALTHCOSTtruth]

One Hospital - One Scan - Both networks owned by UHC.

Hospital Gross Charge: $21,876

"Negotiated" Rate #1: $7,022

"Negotiated" Rate #2: $4,222

Independent Provider: $386

Which one is the discount?

The healthcare industry wants employers focused on percentages.

I want them focused on dollars.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Barbell strategy for killing it in an age of superhuman AI:

Simultaneously get as close to AND stay as far away from AI as humanly possible.

1. Get close — play with AI models, use them to help you think, ask them to teach you about the world, get them to help you create, work with them to write code, understand what makes them tick, embed them into your everyday life, have fun.

2. Stay far away — learn to tell stories, make eye contact, build a team, lead with courage, connect far-flung ideas, build lifelong friendships, debate persuasively, think forbidden thoughts, handwrite ideas, confess your fears, fall in love.

Spend less time trying to master mental transformations that are purely mechanical — building spreadsheets, analyzing trades, balancing accounts, writing code by hand, following playbooks, searching for needles in haystacks. These are the emerging no-man's land, squarely the domain of AI.

Venture to the extremes. That’s where all the fun is anyway.
