The very first line had me interested:

> My annual MRI scan

Not sure if he has an underlying health condition that necessitates an MRI scan yearly or if this is part of his preventative medical regiment (much like an annual physical).

nkko•2h ago
Annual full body MRI has become a trend. Not sure who first started promoting it, probably Peter Attia.

I thought radiologists need to know what to look for in order to diagnose something? Do they brute force every potential condition in the body that can be detected with an MRI?

No, when they read a scan, they're supposed to read everything visible for every problem. Think of it this way: if you break your leg and they take an MRI, do you want the radiologist to miss a tumor because he was focused on the break?

Claude is likely just using a hand-written package[0] that already does this. If not it's almost certainly plagiarized.

Tobias Lutke is complicit in supporting non-consensual pornography and CSAM. So is YC and its leaders, by allowing (or being indifferent to) links to a pro-CSAM website.

> https://x.com/grok/status/2009147824554799156

It seems like they're covering it up, all I see at that link (as a non-Twitter user) is:

> I generated an AI image altering a photo of Renee Good, killed in the January 7, 2026, Minneapolis ICE shooting, by placing her in a bikini per a user request. This used sensitive content unintentionally.

That "this used sensitive content unintentionally" comment is obviously a lie. By its own description, a user requested it. It was all intentional, all the way down.

"Shopify CEO doesn't understand how to install a DICOM viewer application which is widely available and open source for any platform [1], so decides to let Claude Code plagiarize one / use widely available open source DICOM libraries."

The plagiarism of open source accusation is interesting. If you didn't know you are using open source code, is it plagiarism not to acknowledge it? What if you have enough knowledge of how LLMs work that you should have known? Does it help any to include an acknowledgement that you probably used some open source code but don't know which?

I'd parse it the same way as for natural intelligence. If I ask Bob how to do it, and he tells me from what he learned from open source, neither of us are plagiarizing open source.

palmotea•32m ago
Are you passing off work you didn't do as your own? If so, it's plagiarism. Doesn't matter exactly where the work came from or how it was laundered, since you know you didn't do it. Simple as that.
delichon•29m ago
Tobi Lutke very explicitly did not pass off the work as his own. He attributed it to Claude. Does the fact that he didn't know about and include all of Claude's sources make it plagiarism? Would he have had the same obligation if he learned it from Bob?
