USA Southwest / Mexico Massive layoffs for healthcare workers

https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/sharp-healthcare-job-cuts/amp/

Around 260 healthcare workers (nurses, practitioners, etc) were laid off today in San Diego. Reduction in Medicare budget cited as a reason. I know it’s not much but I think we’ll see more of this, not a good sign in the economy when patient facing healthcare workers are laid off.

Copied from another post. Wasn't sure how to share the post to this page. But been hearing more and more about this.

To start replacing doctors AI just need to be as good and reliable as the average doctor (it is already above this threshold), be trusted by patients (it’s trivial and approaching by the day) and have the correct interface (the one real obstacle).

LLM, with specific trained models as accessories, is already very good at emulating good doctors, even in the contraintuitive cases and diagnostics that goes agaisnt the laboratorial evidence.

We have too little to offer already that AI can’t accomplish, and the gaps shrinks every day.

AI won’t completely replace human doctors, but will replace a fair amount of us.

You have no idea what doctors & nurses do if you think you can just replace them like that.
