A new nature published research on Medical-LLMs brings some bad news. ☹️ While GPT-5 shows progress in reducing hallucinations, it still fails in over half of difficult clinical scenarios. shows fluent doesn’t always mean being accurate or truly understanding. They show how

Hard to understand a govt that blocks teenagers from social media but has *no* issue with them accessing online gambling platforms at all, or with them being bombarded with ads for online gambling. https://t.co/qBSoz6Soo8

The list of banned platforms requires mental gymnastics that the government has struggled to explain, and ignores where kids actually spend their time.

Today I’m suggesting an amendment to the government’s proposed legislation for a Cente for Disease Control. I’m pushing the govt to include preventative health care-like considering the mental health impact of gambling harm- from its first day.

Australia has an amazing opportunity to use its Medical Research Future Fund to immediately supercharge healthcare innovation - to develop new medicines, new therapies, new cures. The economic and social potential for our country is huge.

Australia needs more psychologists - and more critical thinkers. So why make those subjects four times more expensive than Latin or Greek? It's past time for the government to undo the harm caused by Scott Morrison's Job Ready Graduates scheme. https://t.co/tWpM0Jj4cy
