I think therapists in training, or people providing crisis intervention support, can train/practice using LLMs acting as patients going through various kinds of issues. But people who need help should probably talk to real people.

Yeah, I think the crappy side of it at this point is that the biometric data they collect is never leveraged to help you as a citizen. If I lose my passport while abroad, given that the government has my fingerprints etc, why can't I u

I don't think the spending story alone is helpful because it doesn't acknowledge where there's room for actual improvement. Of the $1.5T spent on "Hospital Care", if almost all of it went to medical staff, facilitie
