I know LLMs are getting the majority of the attention of late, but there are others of us training and using AI to…

…reads MRIs and video to detect cancer

…analyze genomics for early target discovery

…assisting surgeons

…folding proteins

And the list goes on in other fields as well. Just hoping the recent AI counterculture doesn’t stigmatize other uses of AI.

Am I a fan of Claude code? Not particularly, but I have used it on occasion. And I’ll never understand someone using an LLM to write anything (especially a comment on a site like HN) intended for consumption by other people. Not because I think it’s subpar, but because the point - IMO - is to make human connections, learn, teach, and debate. That’s hard (impossible?) to do if you’re just typing a 30 second prompt and then copy/pasting the output.
