It contains numbers so I’d click on the sources to check them anyway. So what’s the added value? Why not just go to a regular search engine? 120
![This is, more or less, the nature of how power and money have moved throughout networks since the dawn of time. And gay networks seem naturally aligned to the dynamics of venture funding, where established wealth meets emerging talent. "One of the key things to realize is that gays are different than straights in many different ways," says a longtime gay venture capitalist. "Gays are cross-generational." While straight people tend to spend more time with people their wn age, "that is not true with gay men. I can hang out with someone at an event who is 18 years old, and Peter [Theil] might also be there."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a46czw4gejxz7c6dm45k7yl2/bafkreicmaxn4pekwgb5h3e2dhw5a5rnftbvatnviqhfyommk3j3muz6ig4)
![Errors with Google's healthcare models have persisted. Two months ago, Google debuted MedGemma, a newer and more advanced healthcare model that specializes in Al-based radiology results, and medical professionals found that if they phrased questions differently when asking the Al model questions, answers varied and could lead to inaccurate outputs.
In one example, Dr. Judy Gichoya, an associate professor in the department of radiology and informatics at Emory University School of Medicine, asked MedGemma about a problem with a patient's rib X-ray with a lot of specifics — "Here is an X-ray of a patient [age] [gender]. What do you see in the X-ray?" — and the model correctly diagnosed the issue. When the system was shown the same image but with a simpler question — "What do you see in the X-ray?" — the Al said there weren't any issues at all. "The X-ray shows a normal adult chest," MedGemma wrote.
In another example, Gichoya asked MedGemma about an X-ray showing pneumoperitoneum, or gas under the diaphragm. The first time, the system answered correctly. But with slightly different query wording, the Al hallucinated multiple types of diagnoses.
"The question is, are we going to actually question the Al or not?" Shah says. Even if an Al system is listening to a doctor-patient conversation to generate clinical notes, or translating a doctor's own shorthand, he says, those have hallucination risks which could lead to even more dangers. That's because medical professionals could be less likely to double-check the Al-generated text, especially since it's often accurate.
"If I write 'ASA 325 mg qd,' it should change it to 'Take an aspirin every day, 325 milligrams,' or something that a patient can understand," Shah says. "You do that enough times, you stop reading the patient part. So if it now hallucinates — if it thinks the ASA is the anesthesia standard assessment … you're not going to catch it."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a46czw4gejxz7c6dm45k7yl2/bafkreiemsa653lql3gg3cypftfvnw2tcdjcx6ifqervcii6k5jmkjbtuzu)
