Utah will become first state to let AI examine patients and prescribe medication without direct human oversight

https://www.techspot.com/news/114111-utah-become-first-state-ai-examine-patients-prescribe.html

Being a doctor is one of the jobs expected to be least at risk from AI replacement. But a new program launched in Utah is raising questions over that assumption. A healthcare startup will begin offering AI examinations and prescriptions to patients without direct human oversight, making Utah the first state to replace a doctor with an AI.

The good news is that the program is currently very limited in its scope. It's just one year long and only for patients with mild-to-moderate acne.

The process works when a person signs up for Nolla Health's $4.99-per-month app and uses it to scan their face. After completing a medical history and personal information form, the AI analyzes their skin, identifies the acne problem, rates the skin's oiliness, and then generates a numerical acne severity score that ranges between clear skin and severe acne, reports Bloomberg.

The AI then combines that score with the provided medical information to recommend medication from a list of eight approved treatments.

While the program will eventually become fully automated, the first 100 prescriptions will have to be reviewed by actual doctors before they are submitted to the pharmacy.

In the second phase, the next 400 patients will have their prescriptions submitted to pharmacies by the AI and reviewed retrospectively by a physician weekly.

It's more like China wants to cripple the US and is, once again, calling all liggerals to do it.

OK but funding for flock shit was pulled in TX and FL. Democrats where?

>“Speaking of AI, Flock cameras. You haven’t talked a lot about these Flock cameras. A lot of law enforcement say they really help them. Would you be willing to back that?” a reporter asked Trump on Air Force One.

>“No, I sort of like them because of that, because of law enforcement.

Good thing he isn't running for office in Texas or Florida, huh? He'd have to run in a blue state.

Only foreign shills and people who have been mind-raped by foreign shills have a problem with trillions of dollars being invested in rural and semi-rural communities.

I think you should give up on the narrative that these things are somehow of benefit to rural communities. Nobody’s buying it.

I’m not even going to read the rest. You’re full of shit, anon, and everyone knows it. These fucking things don’t create jobs, drive down property values, drive up electric bills, use up water, and cause tons of endless noise. They’re a benefit only to the corpos pushing them and a massive loss to everyone living near them.
>>

of course not, because your argument doesnt survive a collision with basic economics.

you're either a foreign shill, or someone who has been mind-raped by one.

Those rural communities are being poisoned.
There are wide, barren swaths of the United States in which those datacenters could have been placed. Instead the government is using imminent domain to plow through the shires so that some jew living in Argentina can help you make AI generated pornography.

US manufacturing actually produced material goods. AI are glorified probability weighing machines.

>fucktons of water drawn out of the earth to cool.
No, they dont. The guy who wrote the book about how much water they use, Karen Hao, lives in Hong Kong (suprise!) and overstated the amount of water data centers use by 1000%, the Wall Street Journal had to do a bunch of retractions.

Data centers run of closed-loop cooling systems. You full them up and then the water runs through them in a loop, with cooling tanks. Once the water has cooled it goes back through the system.

You're so weak, so incredibly stupid, that you got psyoped on fucking instagram. Pathetic.
>>
>>1542267
>Recycled waste water from data centers has been making people sick.
The water that ran through a pipe, extracted heat, and then was released made people sick? HUGE if true. Link?

The data-center kvetching is just the latest social-contagion. I remember when everyone was saying fraking was the worst thing ever and we shouldn't do it and everyone will die.

Yes, from a contractor building the data-center not the actual operational data-center and the source of the NATURALLY OCCURING BACTERIA was never identified. Do_your_research.

>You can't feed yourself with fiat currency
About six billion people feed themselves every single day with fiat currency and have been doing so for about 60 years.

You keep saying this, but have never actually identified the poisoning in question.

Yes. We're energy independent now, have supercharged rural economies. For example, in Texas about $3.6 billion dollars worth of property taxes from fracking goes into education, its created 490,000 jobs with an average salary of $133,0956. Thats one state.

These are the retards trying to convince you that datacenter cooling is a fully closed loop system and everybody telling them to fuck off due to pollution is actually a chinese agent.
>>
>>1542283
Pretty much true according to every source, except, of course, the Internet liggeral who just talks out his ass.
>>

Its incredible how you have such strong opinions and yet know so little.

We've been a net energy exporter since 2019. Thanks to fracking.

You mean like insisting that a cooling system that saturates physical hardware made out of heavy metals is a perfect closed-loop with zero pollution whatsoever?

How did the party of small government suddenly transition to following the I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream timeline?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/08/us-datacenters-wastewater-pollution
>Datacenters require large amounts of water for their construction and operation, including for cooling the power-hungry computers at their heart, although the industry points out its water use is a fraction of that of other thirsty sectors, such as agriculture. A mid-sized datacenter can consume about 300,000 gallons of water a day.

>After water is used for cooling or, such as at the Meta facility in Cheyenne, for cleaning debris from pipes in “fill and flush” operations, liquid is ejected back for reuse under terms set by pretreatment permits issued by counties or local wastewater utilities.

>This water, released to prevent buildup of minerals and scaling in pipes, can contain heavy metals or Pfas, the “forever chemicals” that are linked to an array of health problems when ingested. These Pfas can be found in the “closed loop” cooling systems that the datacenter industry lauds for using less water.

1. Closed loop systems. So yes, capacity is 300,000 gallons but that's not a constant uptake
2. Yes, in the Cheyenne case after they installed it they flushed the system. It's a closed loop design.
3. "Can contain" is not the same as "does contain".

Stop consuming fear-porn.
>>
>>1542346
>It's a closed loop system.
Do you understand what that is, or how one works?
>Duh, it's a loop. It's closed. That means it doesn't use water! It's a closed loop!
So you don't understand that that means the coolant, the water in the loop, can be reused.... but that other water is still required to diffuse the heat the coolant absorbs?
>It's a CLOSED LOOP!
So you're trying to say it's a 1-time cost of 300k gallons of water, but that is, in fact, how much it would use a day to diffuse heat, not the water in the-
>CLOSED LOOP
yes tardo, the closed loop.
>BUT DA WATER CONTAINED IN DA LOOP!
So not only are there pollutants in the waste water, it's coming out significantly hotter than the river it's being dumped into. Which could threaten the habitat of the trout locals like to fish, and cause algeal blooms that would prevent them from using their plumbing, according to the article.
>CLOOOOOOSED! LOOOOP!
You're a disingenuous dipshit. I hope you get everything you deserve out of life.
