"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It's ridiculous that you basically have to make a hospital over a million dollars while earning nothing before you can even begin to pay off your loans. Worse than that for specialists. I'm not in it but I have friends that went through it and you basically lose your 20s to be comfortable in your 40s.
Yeah, I think the average md would probably be billing anywhere from 2-4 million a year for a hospital. Residents would likely be generating even more considering the brutal schedules some hospitals demand of them.
