   Researchers say an AI-powered transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said https://apnews.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-health-business-90020cdf5fa16c79ca2e5b6c4c9bbb14 This is known as hallucination -- it can include racial commentary, violent rhetoric, and even imagined medical treatments. Yet, they decided to use an OpenAI-based LLM? Has hospital management lost its mind, or is human life no longer valued?

     Not using your mind is often indistinguishable from losing it

     Boeing hid a significant problem with the software in their 737 MAX airplanes that resulted in two airplane crashes, killing over 350 people. Boeing faced financial penalties, but no Boeing executives were criminally charged with these issues. They know they can get away by paying money. As long as this option exists, CEOs and executives will keep cutting corners, and innocent humans will die. It is the same thing with OpenAI. Sama knows he will not go to jail if someone dies.

     @nixCraft That’s hopefully changing when software vendor liability kicks in in 2026 in the EU.

     @nixCraft Boeing execs are like many, many others who will do anything to justify their obscene paychecks as long as they run no risk of jail time. Fines? Multimillion dollar fines are less than parking tickets to the budgets of these corporations. Planes full of people crashing, millions addicted to drugs, millions of people fed lies and suicidal posts by their programmed attention algorithms. "Just another day at the office"
