Extraordinary new paper from Google on medicine & AI: When Google tuned a AI chatbot to answer common medical questions, doctors judged 92.6% of its answers right … compared to 92.9% of answers given by other doctors.
And look at the pace of improvement! arxiv.org/pdf/2212.13138.pdf
Great meeting @chamath at his Social Capital offices, discussing success, startups and investment landscape in #tech & #biotech. He has brilliant insights, highly recommend reading his blog post on next gen startups given current market conditions: chamathreads.substack.com/p/…
1/4: In 2008, I had an incredible opportunity to pick up @salesforce over an undergrad summer intern at Citigroup. This led to an asymmetrical career where I was simultaneously a Salesforce architect, A.I. & Cancer Researcher, entrepreneur (with exits) and now an investor.

3/4: Even pursuing a PhD in Precision Medicine (cancer) & A.I. couldn't keep me away from Salesforce. I continued working as a Salesforce architect & consulting for Fortune 500 companies, eventually leading into wave analytics and pre-Einstein days.
4/4: Effectively, I had the good fortune to be at the forefronts of two evolving systems of intelligence: customer 360 and Precision Medicine.
@Benioff and @salesforce have inspired me greatly & played a big role in whatever success I have achieved. #Trailblazers #Salesforce

@sahirali: #AI Twitter did a good job on acting on this right away:
"A study of 10,000 images found bias in what the system chooses to highlight. Twitter has stopped using it on mobile, and will consider ditching it on the web."
