  • “Patients often fell into a higher-cost billing category after a secondary diagnosis, a condition identified in addition to the patient’s primary reason for receiving care. This secondary diagnosis may be derived from single laboratory values, making it particularly well-suited for detection by AI tools. Approximately 70% of the additional costs, more than $650 million, were tied to secondary diagnoses.”

    So if these are true positives they’re jist finding more stuff? How does that work with no treatment changes







  • I’m advocating for making it obvious when someone is and preventing data processing of individuals without their consent (that includes google photos ML/face recognition).

    You can design and manufacture many illegal things and yet that’s not common practice because if you get caught you’ll get punished. E.g. you can make bombs at home and yet I don’t see bombs being common outside.

    In the scenario where you want to make your own camera you’d need to e.g. have to have a bright red led when it records. Or the camera modules being sold will already have that. That’s it. Hiding one would be get you fined if used. Today you can physically put a recording device in someone’s home, that’s entirely illegal where I live and yet people just don’t do that.

    As for knowing you’re always being recorded - unless you’re a method actor or put in the effort you won’t always keep that in mind the entire time you’re outside. But I bet if a TV crew points their camera at you, you’ll behave differently (or at least your awareness will change)


  • Phones - usually obvious but not obvious enough, so yes I am for making a big red undeniable record indicator. Cameras - they either show footage or take footage, so easier to understand. Security cameras - they usually put up a sign when you’re entering a recorded zone, yeah we should make it obvious.

    Pre internet it was not interconnected, having it so easy to connect data gives too much power over people’s lives. That makes the problem worse, but giving you a choice to chopse what you do and say when recorded is crucial in my opinion
