Lucille: How’s my son? Doctor: He’s going to be all right. Lindsay Funke: Finally some good news from this guy. Doctor: That’s a great attitude. I got to tell you, if I was getting this news, I don’t know that I’d take it this well. Lucille: But you said he was all right. Doctor: Yes, he’s lost his left hand. So he’s going to be “all right.” Lucille: [Jumping on the doctor] You son of a bitch! I hate this doctor!

My favorite running gag, love the literal doctor

Appreciate the funny post, but for anyone reading too much into this it’s misleading at best (also just barely passing at 60% only correct). It’s referencing a portion of the test with multiple choice questions. So that’s relatively easy for a language model, since it can predict an answer from a focused question. Please don’t ask chat gpt individualized questions about your health. It does decent for giving out some general information about medical topics, but you’d be better off at going to a reputable site like mayo clinic, Cleveland clinic, or all the resources at national library of medicine who maintain free very nice medical knowledge databases on tons of topics. It’s where chat gpt is probably scraping it’s answers from anyways, and you won’t have to worry about it making up nonsense that looks real and inserting it into the answer.

And if chat gpt comes up with sources in an answer, look them up yourself no matter how convincing they seem on their face. I’ve seen it invent doi numbers that don’t exist and all sorts of weird stuff.

Yes, it’s a medical emergency that can be very dangerous or even deadly. It can lead to seizures or a devestating condition called osmotic demyelination syndrome, which can cause a “locked in syndrome” or total body paralysis. There are certain medications that can make it more likely to happen. Severe psychiatric conditions make it more likely. It tends to happen pretty frequently to people with alcoholism too. It’s pretty rare for it to happen to people without risk factors for it because your kidneys are pretty good at keeping everything balanced even if you’re drinking a decent amount of water. Though one infamous example of that is the wee for a wii radio contest where people deliberately drank tons of water and were not allowed to pee to try and win a Nintendo wii. I believe someone died from the contest, and the organizers hadn’t realized how dangerous this was. In short, drink water when you’re thirsty, and pee when you need to pee.

Yeah not sure what that headline is about, I enjoyed splatoon and thought it was a pretty unique game. More games in the genre is good, spurs innovation and new ideas. No sleep lost unless someone has some toxic brand loyalty. I hope this game does well.
