@BlueJ11274903 @HerbsandDirt Thank you BlueJ for the recommendation! Here's the Ozempic experiences direct link: askapatient.com/viewrating.asp…

Pharmaceutical companies know sick people rarely sue. Dead people never. Look up what real patients have to say about their Ozempic experience. Under no conditions trust any pharmaceutical or the physician who prescribes them. Check every drug on askApatient.com

⚠️Ozempic, in my opinion, is the most clever, insidious pharmaceutical out there at the moment. It makes chubby / overweight people skinny. It’s THE hook. Side effects be damned, you’re back at high school weight, and the compliments & comments are addicting. This one is going to rival Vioxx in damages payouts one day. Mark my words.

@GianlucaSgueo For medical websites used by consumers, we found some (not too many) sites that disclose that they use #AI-generated content. Is disclosure enough or is more level of detail about sources required for trust? Seems that more detail is needed for trust. askapatient.com/news/medical-w…

Do you trust #AI systems? A lot depends on which type of #trust we consider: interpersonal (based on personal connections and moral judgments) vs social (relying on system reliability and predictability) schneier.com/blog/archives/…
