    People are so vicious over this tech they would rather have disabled poor people with cancer suffer and die under inadequate care than do anything about the inadequate care. Ban the tech, but let this all go on.

    If you are perfectly able and well, you can ignore all advice that isn’t perfect.

    The perspective they seem to lack is frightening. The empathy they refuse to engage is massive. This is able-ism.

    Tech companies are bad, but use of tech will cure and ease cancer, HIV, and chronic disease. Bring on the downvotes.

      “Would rather have disabled people with cancer suffer and die…”

      My guy, that’s not a lack of LLM access, it’s a completely fucked US healthcare system that forces people onto the internet because they can’t get what they need from the state, you goofy-ass weirdo.

        Well yes of course but also restricting access to information machines doesn’t exactly help much either.

          Do hallucinating LLMs, that have done such things as convince a child to commit suicide before, really count as “information machines”? The Mayo clinic website might take a single whole other braincell to read through but at least it’ll be written properly.

          I mean, the fact that you consider these programs to have enough credibility to be called “information machines” is exactly why they’re so potentially dangerous.
