This feels like it was done for the clicks and not actual research. There are plenty of AI startups in the radiology game, GPT-4V isn't free - so why is that the one being tested? Run research on models that are actually trained to sol

Reddit goes hand in hand to me with Facebook Groups. I dont think either will follow the path of Digg to be honest, the adoption is just far too wide. Some people on this website might be in an echo chamber of old school geeky subreddits. B

Promethease is why i initially did 23andme, and it was beyond worth it for me personally. But for the same reason I'm just a one time customer, all I needed was for 23andme to give me a very expensive hospital test at a 95% discount, a

This sounds pretty great for a first iteration. My first iPhone was a 4S, but I can definitely see the "buy everything first" crowd enjoying this vs. the first iteration from every other company, as Apple usually succeeds doing I

Walmart Global Tech is above average tech pay, just a step or 2 behind FAANG. One downside is annual stock grants instead of 4 year, so there is a lot less upside
