We CT scanned an Apple Vision Pro! We also scanned two Meta headsets. Here’s what we found inside, and what it says about the two companies’ approach to AR/VR and to hardware development in general. 🧵

If you feed AI an MRI, it will happily write a detailed and very convincing diagnosis...

even if the patient is a dead salmon.

There seems to be some non-medical confusion on how egregious a finding Claude made up on the recent post.

This is an example of what it hallucinated in an apparently normal MRI. It's not subtle (edema, shift described by Claude).

Please don’t use public-facing VLMs for medical image interpretation.

Claude “found” an ugly, unmissable glioma. Per this post, there was no glioma on the real images. This caused some confusion and some back and forth with the interpreting radiologist who did not call the…

The CAPTCHA returns incorrect because the AI clicked on a mammogram that was radiologist-occult on its software but not when using a different AI program. Different test sets. 😅

Oh no, it’s now in the radiology lit too.

LLMs are great for translation or smoothing out writing, but you have to 1) check your work and 2) acknowledge their use.

And whoever peer reviewed this probably should take some time to reflect. 👀
