Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

Ooh, that’s Cotter Pin. She ends up becoming the apprentice to the chief architect of the Doozers, it works out well for her.


Specifically presidential email security. FBI email is fine.


And 30% said “whatever the rest of you want is fine by us.”


From OP’s post:
Stringent business associate agreements ensure data privacy and HIPAA compliance.
Sure, they could break HIPAA. They could do that with any records, not just transcripts or summaries of sessions. If this is a showstopper for you then no medical practitioners will meet your standards, you’re basically advocating crawling away into a hole to die alone whenever you get sick.


That article is from May 2025, almost a full year ago. In AI terms that’s the stone age.
One of the major problems of getting information about AI inside an anti-AI bubble is that nobody here is actually using it, so they don’t know what its actual quality and capabilities are like now. As I said, I actually set up a system like this for myself on my own personal computer and I keep it updated as new models come out, so I’ve seen what the state of the art (or near-state-of-the-art at any rate) is actually like.
Nothing is perfect, of course. But perfection is not the standard this system is to be compared against. The alternative is the doctor’s handwritten notes and personal memories. Those are almost certainly not as good.


As I said, this is something I do all the time myself. Even with just my piddling little graphics card it works fine, the technology is quite good these days. I’m sure a professional setup being used by a doctor would be a much higher standard than that.
I get the impression no level of quality and no kind of human involvement with the results will likely satisfy you, though. Which means your negative view of AI is not particularly useful here.


You’re asking a forum that’s in a strongly anti-AI bubble, so the answer you’re going to get is both obvious and useless. You might as well be asking a bunch of Vegans whether you should have steak for dinner. You admit yourself to having a strong knee-jerk reaction.
However, it looks to me like their use of AI is a perfectly reasonable one. It’s just making transcripts and summaries of sessions. I do that all the time with personal logs and meetings, I’ve got a couple of local models that run entirely on my computer. So I don’t see the big deal here.
If you feel you really need this medical help then maybe don’t rely on the advice of a bunch of people you know are going to instantly react negatively to AI regardless of any other details.
Iran is now claiming the rescue was unsuccessful.
Given how trustworthy the two sides are, I won’t believe where the guy is until he comes out and reveals himself.
