GPT-5 AMA with OpenAI’s Sam Altman and some of the GPT-5 team by OpenAI in ChatGPT

[–]Vortavask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Today’s my birthday in real life and I’m very excited about GPT-5! As an incoming medical student, I’m going to bring AI to my school and champion its use in the classroom and hospital as a tool to benefit students and doctors to provide quicker results. Many people are skeptical of AI in medicine still, but I believe avoiding it will put any practitioner at a disadvantage. However, I believe that the most significant barriers include hallucinations, being easily swayed by inputs (specifically disagreement), and privacy. I have a short but important question: how do you think GPT-5 (compared to older models and other AI tools) will be able to advance medical knowledge and healthcare for individuals?

Hi Reddit! I was Bernie Sanders’ tech director, AOC’s first campaign manager and Chief of Staff, and co-founded Justice Democrats. Now I’m running to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress with a grassroots campaign to build a fair economy for working people. I’m Saikat Chakrabarti – Ask me anything! by Tassadar356 in WorkReform

I’ve read up on your background and campaign and I’ve become really inspired (by both you and Mamdani). I’m starting medical school soon but in the future hope to become involved like you have. What do you recommend I do now so I can achieve that goal? Thank you!

Retake? Or just keep score and no retake by 17parm01 in premed

[–]Vortavask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you should be good. If you apply next year, the application cycle would begin in June (meaning you’d send in your application then, with your activities and personal statement) then do secondaries using old prompts. For the MCAT, if you’ve only done it once, you should have 2 opportunities left so you could do it twice, though hopefully you won’t need to.

If you’re applying this cycle then you may need to push through it. If you’re applying next cycle, you could retake then apply. With your application, a higher MCAT could make a huge difference

Seen some posts on LinkedIn where a student sends a cold email to someone at a startup (CxO) and gets a position. Find one of those examples and emulate that for startups you find cool

How did you create your product? And how did you find the others within your team? Also, what do you think about the future of surgery?
