I don't think that passing an exam is close to being a doctor. That's a remarkable achievement, but that's only passing the exam.

Concretely, it won't replace doctors anytime soon. I'm not going to tell a machine how I feel, what my problems are and it will tell me what I have without examining me. It could help narrowing down the problem, which is the main, advantage, I guess.

I am not "parroting corporate speak", I am denouncing your generic nonsense.

This lady made $26.5 million last year and there is no indication she is leaving because of pay.

FB is literally at the top when it comes to pay or investment.

You are just repeating nonsense about investing instead of cutting costs. While FB is investing and trying to get back to their pre pandemic efficiency levels.

A company with 72 K employees has a median salary of 240K usd (not including similarly highly paid contractors) but it is too much of a request to be as efficient as they were before they bloated during the pandemic? This is not a dickward "we are all family" company that pays its employees 40K/year while the ceo pays himself 100 million that is cutting costs so that the ceo and his buddies get an additional yatch this year.

Also btw, FB employees def don't think it is "not enough". That is literally the top reason they are there. Remember how I said that is median income. Most software engineers get paid a lot more.

Low level doctors are imo the most likely to be replaced by AI, a general practioner has told me fuck all that I didn’t know from just googling in the last 10 years. These days I already go to a lab on my own to check my blood work,

But it didn't have to study at all for this exam, and that's kind of the point. A human doctor, even one that scored in the 95th percentile on the USMLEs, couldn't scrape by with a passing grade on a Law or MBA exam. ChatGPT, in its basic form, can do passably in any one of these areas, without needing to acquire additional material from the internet or elsewhere. When models like these become able to "study" on their own, and even identify what they need to study to advance in a field, they're going to take over multiple professions at once.

That has already happened, there's a hybrid ChatGPT/Wolfram Alpha program but it's not available to the public. It can understand which parts of the user request should be handed off to Wolfram Alpha and combine it into the final output.
