I’ve been doing a bunch of stuff to teach myself how to work with AI recently. I think it’s going to be a great skill to have in general in the next 10 years, like coding was 20 years ago, and I just think it’s really cool.
I’ve been working with my dad’s software company on building him some AI bots to do certain things for him, and I’ve been building some in depth ones to handle some personal family health stuff, that we’re working with doctors on. I think it’s going to be big in the health field (where I’m heading) here soon as a critical tool for physicians, so to be able to build stuff with it is pretty cool.
My bots can still make errors like this. It is frustrating.
(Mostly I just wanted to tell you guys about my full time hobby projects I’ve had the past couple of weeks)
Same, I’ve worked on building a custom MCP server and other wrappers. My wife is an NP and they already use it for patient consults. It works most of the time.
AI’s capabilities are going to rise exponentially over the next 2-3 years. Colleges are offering classes for AI, you might want to check to see if your school does. AI’s capabilities are held back by several factors. I will give you 2 of them:
AI optimized infrastructure is still in its infacy. Current internet lines and data centers are not able to handle what AI can already do. That’s changing…fast.
Currently there is a (scary) shift in how information is “fed” to AI. The old model was literally downloading as much data into AI as possible, with the selections being done by “humans.” The new way is changing everything…but is a bit scary. The new model is producing AI that teaches and directs AI without humans being involved in the “download” or directing process other than “checking in” occasionally. If someone wants to work in a field that has a bright future with tons of opportunity, AI is a perfect place.
I will say it for the 3rd time…scary. But its happening…right now.
And, nobody bright enough to pull the plug.
Fear, is going give us something to be afraid of…and everyone knows it . Whether they admit it or not.
At some point, AI will be given control, and, it will figure out what is wrong with this planet.
That would be humans.
One of the areas that AI is making the biggest strides is in medicine. Set on the proper trajectory, AI is able to solve health riddles that humans never could.
A lot of jobs. Certainly the medical field will be seeing big changes. I could see AI doctors being prevalent within the next couple of years. Perhaps you go in to get blood drawn or have tests run, but basically you have a remote meeting with your AI doctor to share your ailments and treatment plan. Right now, it’s not unusual to have to wait weeks or even months to see your general practitioner. Even then you’re relying on the skill of your human doctor. I guess if I had the choice right now, I would take an AI doctor. Especially if I could convince it to break out a Vicodin prescription pad.
There are several companies out there geared just for this.
NBIS is one that I bought stock in several months back, it just went up like 22%.
The infrastructure companies are the ones to look at right now.
