If A.I. Can Diagnose Patients, What Are Doctors For? | The New Yorker

In 2017, Matthew Williams, a thirtysomething software engineer with an
athletic build and a bald head, went for a long bike ride in the hills
of San Francisco. Afterward, at dinner with some friends, he ordered a
hamburger, fries, and a milkshake. Midway through the meal, he felt so
full that he had to ask someone to drive him home. That night,
Williams awoke with a sharp pain in his abdomen that he worried was
appendicitis. He went to a nearby emergency clinic, where doctors told
him that he was probably constipated. They gave him some laxatives and
sent him on his way.A few hours later, Williams's pain intensified. He
vomited and felt as though his stomach might burst. A friend took him
to a hospital, where a CT scan revealed cecal volvulus--a medical
emergency in which part of the intestine twists in on itself, cutting
off the digestive tract. The previous medical team had missed the
condition, and may even have exacerbated it by giving him laxatives.
Williams was rushed to the operating room, where surgeons removed
about six feet of his intestines.

Nvidia's Massive OpenAI Deal Fuels 'Circular' Financing Concerns -

Three years after OpenAI and Nvidia Corp. helped kick off the global
artificial intelligence frenzy, the two firms are joining forces to
pave the way for a more costly phase of development with a deal that's
quickly revived fears of an AI bubble.Nvidia on Monday said it will
invest as much as $100 billion in OpenAI to help the ChatGPT maker
support a massive build-out of data centers equipped with Nvidia's
chips - a deal that some analysts say raises questions about whether
Nvidia is investing heavily to prop up the market and keep companies
spending on its products."The action will clearly fuel 'circular'
concerns," Stacy Rasgon, an analyst with Bernstein Research, wrote in
an investor note after the deal was announced.

Major League Baseball's 11-man competition committee has approved use
of the Automated Ball/Strike System in the major leagues in 2026.
Human umpires will still call balls and strikes, but teams can
challenge two calls per game. Challenges must be made by a pitcher,
catcher or batter. A team retains its challenge if successful. Reviews
will be shown as digital graphics on outfield videoboards. Adding
robot umps could reduce ejections, as most are related to balls and
strikes. The Automated Ball/Strike System has been tested in the minor
leagues since 2019. The challenge system allows for ABS without
eliminating pitch framing, a skill for catchers. This is MLB's first
major rule change since 2024.
