It’s possible to believe: - the essay is ass but worth more than a zero, given the rubric. - the zero was probably punitive - right wing grifters will capitalize on this, as they do.

Billions of dollars spent on AI in healthcare and this person would probably dismiss it as β€œniche” or β€œslop.” There are some serious critics of AI but most of them are fools.

Is it truly possible to eliminate _all_ race conditions in a system that is sufficiently complex? Or is it more a best effort thing to cover 99 percent of the usual cases and monitoring to catch the 1 percent where things happen in a weird order?

Make a doc outlining a task, give it to Claude and ask it to identify a solution and write it up in a new document, then give both docs to a new Claude and tell it to implement the solution using subagents. And it all just… works.
