The doctor did the diagnosis using the language model as a tool then. Impressive, but I think it’s false to imply GPT did the diagnosing.

The doctor had never heard of the diagnosis prior. It was outside this doctors scope.

Like a heart doctor figured out a skeletal abnormality.

This happened with GPT3 and they were an early adopter. The patient would have gotten this in 2026 easily.

My favorite type of content creator is this. Disappears for years only to return with an absolute banger!

I think you misunderstood what they are tracking. Google would still see him login into his gmail account from a know VPN provider IP address. And Google is the entity logging and sharing logs, not the VPN provider.

Possibly. The document doesn't say exactly how, but I was thinking of a scenario where SBF received an email from a VPN company, since email metadata can be collected under the Pen Register Act. Though what you said about Google logging IPs might be the case instead.
