I promised to come back to @X after I investigated the facts concerning @EPotterMD's video post about @UHC and its health insurance subsidiary, UnitedHealthcare. To review, I made an @X post in response to Dr. Potter's videos and X posts about an overzealous representative of
Yesterday, I made a critical post about @EPotterMD and her experience with United Healthcare. I took it down when my office heard from the Clare Locke firm which represents UNH which called and stated that the doctor’s claims were not true. We have used Clare Locke and think

I think we can all agree on a few things: We have $36 trillion of national debt growing at a rapid rate, that must be refinanced and issued at a materially higher interest rate as our bonds come due and as new funds are needed. We had a $1.8 trillion deficit in fiscal 2024.

One of the healthcare industry’s biggest problems is our ability to “call our baby ugly.” Make no mistake—it’s an ugly baby. Maybe the ugliest. But when we fail to see things clearly, when we normalize the abnormal, we rob ourselves of opportunities to improve. We hold

I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I do not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child,

Very interesting and important article
I am honored to be a member of this year's cohort of @TheOpEdProject Public Voices Fellowship. My first op-ed, on risks from personalized AIs that turn into AI "frenemies", appears in @thehill today. https://t.co/83KkkhC6b8

If you're a neuroscientist reading this, we would love the help! Reverse-engineering models is hard and we need all the help we can get. I normally caution people that models are cursed and messier than you might hope, but if you're a neuroscientist it's probably an upgrade!
All neuroscientists should seriously consider working on 𝙇𝙇𝙈 𝙢𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 imo Mech interp is a relatively young field that wants to understand how LLM’s think. It’s shockingly similar to traditional neuroscience, but has huge
