This is insane. The whole point of the modern pharmaceutical system is to ensure that people are given the medication they need, not what they want.
Knowing how easy it is to jail-break LLMs, it's conceivable that this allows a knowledgeable attacker access to whatever prescription medication the system has the ability to administer.
If a corrupt pharmacist is criminally liable for abusing their power of the pad, then someone either on the private side or governmental side of this needs to be held to the same standard for "solutions" like this.
Probably better that they get their medication rather than waiting for an appointment if it’s keeping them from being psychotic or otherwise causing harm or being harmed.
If it keeps bipolar people on their meds, it will make the world better and safer, but also, those meds should just be able to be setup as "always fill this" in a saner system.
Looks like this guy tried to brandish a firearm while attempting to meet with the plaintiff, a restraining order seems very reasonable given the circumstances.
Agreed. (Reasonable) humans also don't ask for 20-50% raises year on year, but replacing workers with AI places incredible pricing risk in your business operation. AI may be cheaper in the short term, but the ultimate goal of AI companies is to capture as much value as possible, and they will have no problems pricing AI tooling as close to the replaced human salaries as possible.
Exactly this, and not just another middleman, a middleman with an obscene burn rate that isn't close to profitability and is incentivized to ratchet up prices as soon as they can.
And then AI procurement has problems on the buyer side. Do I just blindly trust that the model is going to make the purchase as specified? Do I trust the model's search capabilities and objectivity of returning results? How do I know that OpenAI isn't running its own "marketplace", only showing me options to buy that they want me to see while filtering out less desirable options for them?
It's a fundamentally less transparent experience than Amazon.
Let it go. Take pride that a company like Anthropic thought your idea was good enough to run with. Aiming for some sort of statement from them is a waste of time.
I'd happily take pride if they'd acknowledged it. A single reply. That's all. Instead I got silence. There's no pride in that,,just frustration.
But I sincerely appreciate your input.
Mountains Beyond Mountains is a pantheon read for me.
Farmer grew up incredibly poor, got into Duke and Harvard, had opportunities to make incredible money and traded it for a life of providing medical care to the third world on a shoestring budget while schooling organizations like the WHO on how to provide care along the way.
Agreed. Farmer's O for the P (provide a preferential option for the poor in health care) was clearly central to his life. I think about it often.
On top of that he was incredibly competent at navigating the combination of hostile bureaucracy, apathy, and disorganization. It's incredible what he and PIH accomplished.

It's also not a new tactic. During his '68 presidential campaign against Lyndon Johnson, Nixon convinced the South Vietnamese to not engage in peace talks with the Communists to weaken Johnson's campaign. The war went on for 7 more years and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and Vietnamese.
The candidate who stands to benefit from circumstances like this is usually quite corrupt as well. The mere appearance of a foreign espionage outfit helping one candidate should raise questions about their integrity.
My therapist just asked for my consent to use an AI note transcription tool through SimplePractice, one of the largest therapy administration platforms out there. So I wound up digging through their documentation and policies around that tool and the lack of transparency around it was galling.
The whole thing felt like a giant "gotcha" to the point where I have zero trust that data captured through platforms like that won't be used against my interests.
