Mark Cuban is one of the tech world’s most invested minds in figuring out what medicine could and should look like. Strongly suggest med students take heed.
What cabinet position is trump giving him? It’s hard to keep track
If anything I feel like Mark Cuban liking a technology is a sign that it has no future. See also NFTs and his weird “Dust” messaging app.
Before Mark Cuban sold the Mavericks, Mavericks had a generational player who led them to the NBA Finals just this past year.
Now, after Mark Cuban sold the team and relinquished control to people who don’t know anything about basketball, that generational player is on the Lakers.
The first time a doctor used a laptop in my presence to document(and I assume narrow down potential illnesses) I got really upset. I still don’t like it.
I’m 55 and scared how disconnected doctors will be to their training in the next couple decades…
No suprise he says that while beeing heavily invested.
My insurer added a LLM-based chatbot to their healthcare portal that you must use before sending a message to a human. On the first question, it got my appointments mixed up with those of my spouse. It couldn’t even answer when I asked if I was covered if I got into a jump-kicking accident with David Lee Roth.
OTOH, my liquor store’s website has a probably-mostly-GOFAI chatbot, and that thing slaps.
Awesome, all they need is yet another layer to obfuscate their business responsibilities. This will go oh so well, just like Facebook. “But but…it’s the algorithm”, they’ll say while shrugging their shoulders.
How about supporting Single Payer Healthcare?
Oh right, Socialism. Got it.
Before antibiotics they did use antibiotics. Before xrays they didn’t use them.
I predict that new things will be used by doctors.
