Retired now. LOVED practicing and teaching diagnostic radiology. We love the great music in Cleveland, especially Apollo’s Fire and Cleveland Orchestra. Love CMA, CMNH, AMNH, and The Met museum. Instead of massive CO2-emitting “vroom-vroom,” we sailed.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.
