Was it 2016 when Geoff hinton said that radiology was a dead career?

Well, we now have the best model of our time (trillions of $$$ of investments) telling us something completely different(and wrong) from a human expert. I would really like someone calling out dario, sam, elon on these things and hear their explanations but alas, a man can only dream.

It’s an odd field, obviously it’s in high demand for diagnostics and anytime you have to do an xray, MRI, etc you have to wait hours for one to become available.

I think they’re artificially stunting the field to raise their wages. For example in my city the medical school only accepts 11 people into the program a year. (With an average graduation rate or 3-5). My niece has been trying for 2 years and finally got in this last year. Even radiology is doing AI assisted diagnostics. Half my MRI’s from this year has Doctor notes and HealthBot (AI) notes attached to them.

~ I’m assuming other schools severely limit their radiology admissions as well. To keep the wages high and the field desirable.

free market solution is just order an x-ray machine from alibaba and setup shop. you could add a credit card swiper + ID + facial recognition to plausibly avoid over-xraying people

These days Xray machines - they don't even suit up in lead or stand behind a wall , just point and shoot. In fact they're nice and portable. I wish i had a xray machine at home.

Funny how the jobs most at risk of automation now are tech jobs.

yeah that is why you would not use a random llm that is not trained in radiology lmfao

diffusion models are probably a better bet for identifying irregular structures
