OpenAI is exploring “consumer health tools”.
If an AI is giving health advice, that’s medicine at scale.
And if it’s medicine, three things are non-negotiable:
1️⃣ Doctors in the loop
2️⃣ Older people in the design – not as an afterthought

Someone reminded me today 9 years ago I submitted my first post on Mastodon—using curl on the command line, since there was no interface at the time. That's how the journey began! 9 years is a long time to be doing something. Those early years are still fresh in my mind though.
