Anyone see the new Maura for Governor ad where she looks like she needs a big increase in her SSRI dose? She stands alone and looks miserable. Seen on Hulu last night.

Double edged sword. EPIC is integrating Chat GPT into their medical enterprise software that holds nearly 300M medical records. It's supposed to be "read only" access but... It can make lots of data amalgamation more effective in matching patients to clinical trials etc but I worry about access.
