I work in medicine and there are genuinely good use cases. A tool that highlights sections of a radiology image that a radiologist might otherwise miss. Suggestions to changes to clinical notes (RBC is low, maybe add an anemia ICD-10 code). Lots of research uses too for prescreening pts re trials

Scott Hoffman (babydaddy) was a year ahead of me at Columbia. I had one of his classmates as a roommate in my first brooklyn apartment in about 2002 or 2003. Scott lived around the corner. I remember going over one day and seeing him work on the first album in his boxers. No idea it would blow up!

Work in healthcare IT. So true, this. Every time I see an IoT device I think "Yay, more attack surface!"
