Election Madness and Terminal Emulators

[00:00:00 ] Introduction and Host Greetings

[00:00:00 ] Jeff: Hello, brand new America. This is the Overtired podcast. Uh, I’m Jeff Severns Guntzel. I got Christina Warren with me. Hi, Christina.

[00:00:14 ] Christina: Hi, Jeff. Um,

[00:00:16 ] Brett’s Health Update

[00:00:16 ] Jeff: you follow Brett on social media, uh, and maybe if you don’t, uh, you will now know that he is having some health issues. Um, and, uh, and we wish him so well. He is not here with us.

[00:00:28 ] Christina: he is not here with us. He’s, he’s with us in spirit. We hope that he’s doing well and that we figure out, hopefully, you know, by the time this episode goes up, he’ll be closer to figuring out why he’s been having some, uh, some fainting spells and some other stuff, which is super, super scary. So, and a fucking terrible week for it.

[00:00:45 ] I mean, it’s a terrible week in general, but like, of all the weeks for like, you know, to have to have like a health crisis on top of everything else.

[00:00:52 ] Jeff: Yeah, it’s like the only week that would also explain that particular health

[00:00:55 ] crisis. I’m not saying It’s I’m definitely

[00:00:58 ] Christina: no, no, Oh, no, [00:01:00 ] no, no. It doesn’t seem to be, but no, but yeah, totally. It is one of those things. Well, the thing is, if it hadn’t started like before Tuesday, I think that that would have been um, like, if I were the ER doctor, I’d be like, are we sure this isn’t just a stress response?

[00:01:16 ] Jeff: right. Yeah. Are we sure there’s not people across America passing out consistently right now?

[00:01:22 ] No. Uh, feel better, Brett. Uh, and

[00:01:26 ] it just sucks, and hopefully he figures it out, and if you do follow him on social media, send him, send him well wishes, um, and hope that he posts no more photos of himself from the ER.

[00:01:36 ] Christina: Yeah. For real. For real. Um, and, and, and, and, Very sad. Um, and, and if you’re either a doctor or an armchair doctor, please respond to him, um, with, um, suggestions for how you can solve his medical problem without actually knowing what his symptoms and, and situation is, because I know he will love that.

[00:01:58 ] Jeff: That’s a little special request he sent [00:02:00 ] through us.

[00:02:00 ] Christina: It is. It is. It is.

[00:02:01 ] Jeff: and we, we like to take care of him.

[00:02:03 ] Christina: We, we, we do. Just, just say that, you know, Christina and Jeff wanted to make sure that he doesn’t get any sleep.

[00:02:08 ] Jeff: Yeah, definitely. And if you’ve Googled this thing or something, you know, let him know the first thing you see, cause that’s sometimes the best thing.

[00:02:15 ] Christina: Yeah, it’s, it’s never the worst. It’s never gonna freak anybody out or like take them down another sort of spiral. It’s never gonna do anything else. No, um, please don’t, please don’t actually do that.

[00:02:23 ] Medical Advice and ChatGPT Discussion

[00:02:23 ] Christina: And, and, and Brett, if you’re, if you’re listening to this, please don’t, like, WebMD yourself. Like, we, we all know that, we all know the, the fear of, or, or at this point, okay, mindfuck.

[00:02:39 ] People are, because I’m already probably thinking of doing this, people aren’t going to WebMD themselves anymore. They’re just going to ChatGPT their symptoms.

[00:02:47 ] Jeff: Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is, which can be not helpful. Probably can be helpful in some scenarios, but can

[00:02:53 ] Christina: I was going to say in

[00:02:54 ] Jeff: And you can’t know, is the point.

[00:02:56 ] Christina: I was going to say, like, I actually firmly believe [00:03:00 ] that if you had a really good medical LLM, or like, like a medical version of ChatGPT, which frankly, that’s what, that’s what OpenAI should do. They should start making like specialized, like off the shelf LLMs.

[00:03:10 ] So we’re doing things specifically for certain industries that are models that are tuned similar to like GitHub Copilot, like where things that are like, Hey, this is tuned on medical analysis and information and we can have statistical data and, and we can refine the parameters so that, um, uh, certain functions are not happening, um, you know, like, um, non deterministically but are actually happening on a deterministic system.

[00:03:32 ] So like math and things like that are always going to be correct, but we can make sure that like the, the, the training data is good. Like. Um, I could actually see, you know, that being a really, I mean, already doctors are using it and they’ve used, you know, like, uh, you know, things for years to be able to kind of like run through symptoms and try to get, you know, like, things back.

[00:03:51 ] But like, you could see, and, you know, that be, you know, really, really good, like,
