If you are wearing smart glasses and come to the ER, the smart glasses people are going to get a recording of my history, exam, and discussion of your results. You wouldn’t believe how often I unexpectedly find cancer, or syphilis, or other conditions you may not want big tech to immediately be privy to. Meta isn’t subject to medical privacy laws. It also isn’t my job to recognize your camera and give you a heads-up. In fact, big signs in the ER tell you recording is not allowed.

@mcnado please do also tell your interns that, no, they can't use chatgpt "just to summarize" our interview, since that is a direct and immediate violation of my HIPAA rights.

@wyatt_h_knott functional health systems are training people to use the embedded AI that is supposedly sandboxed. I don’t use it because I don’t believe that it is actually safe in any way. The lawsuits over leaked training datasets are going to be interesting.

@mcnado I think I told you about this already, but I had an intern get annoyed with me during my last ER visit. He pulled out his phone and before he could even ask if it was "ok to record" I asked him "is that chatGPT?" and he did not say it was a local sandbox instance, he just nodded. I told him to turn it off. He started to argue that it was just for summary purposes but he could see I wasn't having it so he said "but I can turn it off if you want."
