It's almost as if we could solve the problem by having only one payer (a "single-payer", if you will) primarily motivated by patient interest instead of profit motive exerting downward pressure on costs.

I don’t think that’s sufficient without mechanisms to keep down providers’ costs. Eg if a hospital decides to have private rooms for patients as opposed to open wards, should the single payer have to pay more? What if they just decide to charge a higher rate for surgery? Or prescribe a name-brand drug instead of a generic? I think you can look at the fights between Medicare and doctors unions in the US for examples of this, where the doctors seem to do a much better job of winning over public sympathy (though they have even more success when it’s an insurance company declaring they will pay Medicare rates for a procedure).

Double meaning: "no one" can also refer to the Faceless Men, the magical face-changing assassins of Braavos, who kill on behalf of the common people with some frequency

One of the most interesting recurring themes in Neal Stephenson's _Baroque Cycle_ novels are the innovative uses of this stuff

Seems like this really just validates whether a piece of AI content was generated by Google, not AI generated in general

What incentive do open models have to adopt this?

I’m playing Space Exploration right now and all I can think is “damn what is he gonna do without productivity modules”

Hmmm this isn’t https://endoftheinter.net

Wasn't there a recent OAI dev day in which they had some users come on stage and discuss how helpful ChatGPT was in parsing diagnoses from different doctors?

I guess the legal risks were large enough to outweigh this

I'd wager it's probably more that there's an identifiable customer and specific product to be sold. Doctors, hospitals, EHR companies and insurers all are very interested in paying for a validated version of this thing.

Or simple threats of lawsuits directly/indirectly, theres a lot of money at stake here in the end

But validation is theoretically impossible.
