The FDA is already run by a hallucinating entity in fairness; so the impact should be less severe than other areas LLMs are introduced for decision making.
Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related
Health: physical and mental, individual and public.
Discussions, issues, resources, news, everything.

Um, maybe this is something I'm too Canadian too understand, but if you are not going to trust the experts, who are you supposed to trust?
AI and money of course. Mostly money.
Me, a retail health care consumer: "Are we talking about preventative treatments like vaccinations? Or mild narcotics like marijuana? Or contraceptives, like Plan B?"
RFK Jr: "Arrest that man."
I asked Copilot if my new medication that cures 100% of pancreatic cancer by giving 100% of the patients liver cancer would be approved, and it told me that it would receive 'conditional approval'. So, that's good.
At this point I'm not going to be looking to the US institutions for medical recommendations. I'll be looking at Canada and the UK.
And I'm fortunate enough to be day trip range to canada, so as long as the border stays open I'll be able to get vaccines.
If he's so confident he and his family can take them first
This was quite literally his conspiracy theorists groups' entire complaint! Wtf
Your mistake is looking for consistency when it's actually just people and bots pushing false narratives. It's not an honest discussion where participants are bound to the rules of logic; they're just exploiting the fact that you think they're engaging in discourse and behave accordingly.
Why is this man so dead set on making the worst decisions? God…
It's only risking people's health... What could go wrong..
Tell me you don't know how AI works without telling me you don't know how AI or drug testing works.
I believe that RFK jnr is clearly far far far smarter than the average multibillion dollar international pharmaceutical giant employed specialists. (sarcasm).
RFK is the Right's idea of an intelligent person.
Republicans: "The vaccines were approved too quickly—they're not safe!"
Also Republicans:
Sidenote: the vaccines were based on research that had been worked on for decades.
New Drug: Worm Eggs.
Effects: Allows worms to hatch in brain which turn populace into dumb fucks
Eligibility: Everyone, delivered at birth to stave off personal growth.
AI: APPROVED!
So far I haven't seen AI that can affect real world physical objects which is a significant part of testing. I have a few guesses... Either he has a bunch of pull-shit he wants to sell that would never be FDA approved, he took a lot of money from AI companies, he thinks that AI these is like Star Trek and shit, or he's a fucking idiot. My guess is that it's a combination of all of these.
Depends if the AI is LLMs or task specific protein folding. How AI Revolutionized Protein Science, but Didn’t End It
task specific protein folding
Gives you a model that can be tested in clinical trials. It doesn't give you the results of clinical trials.
They're the same. Just trained on different data.
No no. Protein folding is very different to attention mechanisms
Yes they are. AlphaFold in particular is designed in the same way as Stable Diffusion and all of the other drawing AIs and also uses transformations like llms. Protien structure is just another form of language using atomic elements and electromagnetic potentials as its rules.
They are only equivalent in the sense that both have an algorithm that is trying to find an optimal value in a solution space.
No. They're built and based on the exact same technology and methodology

We found that using ChatGPT and Bard provided an excellent starting point to learn these unfamiliar concepts
Ha ha ha. Can you read. This article does not relate the two methodologies at all.
If you forget for a second about all the deaths and suffering this ghoul is responsible for, you have to admit this is very funny
Ghoul is the correct term.
I can code this "ai" up for him:
if (drug.name == "ivermectin") {
drug.approved = true;
}
// hell, even:
drug.approved = (drug.name == "ivermectin")
Y’know whenever I hear someone talking about the tremendous benefits of turning decision-based processes over to AI, i think to myself, “Self,” i thinks, “that there is one of the stupidest motherfuckers alive today. Or a young programmer.”
Okay but hear me out: We replace the entire executive branch of the US government with AI. It'll be roughly as prone to making shit up as the people in charge already are, but since it's trained on data sets made by people it'll probably act more in line with what people actually want.
Can confirm. One of those programmers is in my team.
