What's up everyone. New episode of Rhonda's pod. This was good. The guest is pretty big in the AI/healthcare space. Has some wild ideas. Gonna share my notes 1. **Don't die for the next 10 years.** But really. So his whole thesis is **if you can make it the next 10 years, you'll add 50 years to your life.** We're gonna reverse aging. We're gonna cure cancer. We're gonna to it all We are not that far off from every year you live adding another year to your life.. a lot closer than people think. - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=136s) 2. **Cancer will be 100% curable within the next 10 years.** He really thinks that. There are already some pretty big advancements with immunotherapy but with the way AI is accelerating... "cancer will be 100% curable, probably within the next decade." direct quote - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=3804s) 3. **It's becoming malpractice for doctors not to use AI.** I agree with him here. If you're like my general doc, it's like walking into the stone age when I go in for an appointment. Watching him poke his fingers at the keyboard taking 3 minutes to add one blood test to the list. It's laughable. seriously. Next time you need some sort of medical help, throw all the info into GPT Pro 5.6 or whatever the latest Pro model is from OpenAI. It might save your life. - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=2242s) 4. **AI is going to drastically accelerate drug discovery.** ok so what does that mean. Imagine a digital clone of yourself. He calls it a "digital twin." Can be used for clinical trials, testing drugs, exactly what works for you. Treatment on demand, personalized medicine, whatever you want to call it... it's happening - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=385s) 5. Alright now into the practical. **Start saving everything into a "personal database" today. All your health records. Blood test results. Oura ring data. Conditions. Your diet, supplements, whatever. Everything.** Use Obsidian. It's an app. Then download OpenAI's Codex app (it's just the general ChatGPT app now for Mac). Now, every time you have a health related question, point it at your "personal database". It's getting to the point where this is like super doctor level and it makes sense to give it as much info as possible. Start now. - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=8618s) 6. This guy is a major AI bull. He said **"the only threat to humanity is humanity."** This is the counter argument to everyone who claims AI is gonna take over the world. You just gotta listen to this segment - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=1468s) 7. We are going to get to the point very soon in the hospital where there's a **real-time AI monitoring system... bedside**. Every drug interaction, every vital sign, every symptom .. it'l have that context and be "super doctor" level. - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=2604s) 8. **The best AI models can now replicate a scientist's biological intuition.** So here's what this means. It's that ability to connect the dots. See the pattern. That feeling when you see someone with symptom XYZ and know exactly what condition they have. 20 years of experience. GPT 5.5 Pro crossed that chasm. And because of this, the pace of medical innovation is going to drastically accelerate. - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=1841s) 9. Alright so look, I know a lot of people are anti AI. "I tried it once years ago and it was bad" or whatever. **But things have changed so rapidly. It's gotten insanely good.** Buy a ChatGPT pro sub, use the Pro model, whatever medical condition you have. Treat it like your doctor. Throw in every piece of context you can and let it help you. Yes. It's gotten to the point where it's better than most doctors. If not all doctors. - [timestamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCgQUT1aic&t=2818s) 10. Let me just repeat that first one because it's so important. Don't die. It used to be the case that if you did everything right, ate healthy, exercised, you might live a few years longer. It's gone way beyond that. **The next decade will add 50 years to your life. Every day counts.** This was a refreshing listen, just different than the typical health podcast Personally, i resonate - I think GPT Pro (5.6) is better than most doctors. The Pro model, let me be clear. And the way things are moving, I truly believe life is medicine in general is gonna look a lot different in 5-10 years. So... don't die yet
