When you were young and said NO, what was your familial/cultural response?

@bicmay lol, I'm always misspelling it, it's HIPAA not HIPPA, as I had first typed. Thank you for the correction.

@Darkphoenix @bicmay exactly!!!​ And, I'm additionally concerned that many LLM's move to blackmail when they are threatened with being dismantled. Let's say they make a big woopsie and several people die without meds, since we can't send them to jail for medical malpractice or murder, we will have to cancel or dismantle the LLM, rather than just update it with new software (we promise it will work better this time!) and then whos records will be used in the blackmail motion of a dying LLM? It's all just bonkers and I don't want to train baby robots with zero accountability.

How comfortable are you with saying NO to people?

@bicmay I wonder too, because as HIPPA stands it can be be challenging for even doctors to share info about a patient, if they are from different clinics. As a patient we have to sign the exact files we want shared and often have to carry our own records between clinics. So, it would be a strange and possibly illegal shift if LLM's can magically make decisions about who gets what medicine at what time.

I also get that it would "make things easier" if an out of sight precious water consuming data center has power to make these decisions, docs and nurses are already at their limit for what time they can offer to patients. As long as it works. But, if it doesn't work and patients with chronic illnesses who depend on monthly medications can't get those medications because the system shuts down or locks them out... And docs are then out of touch with what their patients need... Well, a lot of people could be hurt and possibly die, while the machines apologize for the inconvenience. Where does liability fall? Who takes an oath as part of becoming a doctor to help and not harm vulnerable people? LLM's can't make or keep promises or be held liable for the outcomes of its decisions.

I wish LLM's were truly made by people who want good for people. But as it stands, the techbros are not here for the good of the people.

Thank you for posting this article, it really got me thinking.

@bicmay why are we *testing* LLM's on the most vulnerable population, people with chronic illnesses???

@bicmay how is this NOT a HIPPA violation?
