tbh i've given up on privacy to a large extent. It's too much of a disadvantage. Instead, i'm trying to be radically unapologetically honest and not care about privacy. If someone hacks my nudes ok who cares everyone has sensitive photos etc asked grok, o3

We need more of that. Much more. This isn't my first bad experience with the medical system and I'm sure many of you have had similar stories. I totally understand some people abandoning it and going into smth crazy like homeopathy or whtv, like Steve Jobs (who died bcuz of this). Obviously that's the wrong move, but i understand the motivation. It can be very frustrating. But there's hope: Tech is making healthcare good again! 4/4 fin

After some googling I'm pretty sure precordial catch syndrome is correct and it's what I have been experiencing. HUGEE relief. (obviously double and triple check, write down your symptoms before you google/ask Ai to not get placebo-sniped, etc. Do your DD.) The traditional medical system is so bad. Doctors are overworked, don't care about patients only a few symptoms, holistic review is exceedingly rare, misdiagnoses are plentiful. It's expensive af. It's reactionary, not preventative. The whole experience sucks. AI & health tech wearables are changing this so drastically. Future is bright. Whenever I see a pic of a doctor using chatgpt I'm not horrified, like many are; I'm saying hell yeah. 3/4

Today it happened again!! I'm lying in bed, sudden extreme sharp chest pain, "oh no I'm gonna die, again :(". I lay on my side, which I've found instantly relieves the pain. What do I do? I chat with AI about my symptoms, history etc. AI manages what no doctor has been able to so far: gives me a quite likely diagnosis! Precordial catch syndrome is cited, a completely benign condition that is not that uncommon. Incredible. I perform an ecg at home with my whoop 5 health device, all good. Blood pressure test with cuff, also good. I do one sharp inhalation as suggested (I was doing slow shallow breaths so it didn't hurt), pain suddenly lifts. 2/4

true story: I've had an incredibly sharp, stabbing pain in my chest a few times in my life. Left side, sudden onset, directly above heart area. Stays for a few minutes. Obviously very scary, first time it happened I thought I might be having a heart attack. End of the road shit. Went to cardiologist, got ecg and sonar. Cardiologist essentially shrugged "🤷 idk, I don't see anth, next patient pls I'm busy". I thought maybe it could be pericarditis or myocarditis or smth, very worrisome, but blood test didn't show anth either. A few months later it happened again, and eventually I went to another cardiologist, same thing. I'm 28, very active, and generally healthy. Having what feels like a heart attack multiple times is very worrisome, and it's even worse when doctors have no clue. You don't want to be 1/n statistic and get a new disease named after you. 1/4 (continued below)

to win big? yeah! They compete in mindshare. Certainly for me. I'd love to use Farcaster, but X is where everyone is. So i spend 95%+ of my time on X and only crosspost here. Farcaster does have miniapps etc and thats cute. But Twitter can copy semi-easily (having users >>> having tech). I dont see any fundamental advantage of Farcaster. Remember, X has 600 MILLION monthly active users. Farcaster is like 20k. X valuation 10-20b, Farcaster 1b. Doesn't make much sense to me

tbh current farcaster numbers are NOT a success. It's chugging along and slowly growing, but doesnt at all justify the 1b+ valuation
