I am a cis person and I am going to make this commitment - if you want to transition, I will not give you lukewarm support, I will fucking cheerleader for you.
Transition is a hard thing, made harder by dickheads being horrible. I am so proud of anyone who does it, absolute rockstars.

This study confirms something I suspected - LLMs trained on medical case studies are good at diagnosing from case studies. But when they have to interview a patient who doesn't know which information is relevant or how to describe it in medical jargon, their accuracy plummets.
⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.
