ChatGPT arguably saved my fathers life two weeks ago. He was in a rehab center after breaking his hip and his condition suddenly deteriorated.

While waiting for the ambulance at the rehab center, i plugged all his health data from is MyChart and described the symptoms. It accurately predicted (in its top two possibilities) C Diff infection.

Fast forward two days, ER has prescribed in general antibiotics. I pushed the doctors to check for C Diff and sure enough he tested positive for it - and they got him on the right antibiotics for it.

I think it was just in time as he ended up going to the ICU before he got better.

Maybe they would have tested for C Diff anyway, but definitely made me trust ChatGPT. Throughout his stay after every single update in his MyChart I copy and paste the pdf to the long running thread for his health.

I think ChatGPT health- being able to automatically import this directly will be a huge game changer. This is probably my number one use case of AI is health and wellness.

My dad is getting discharged tomorrow (to a different rehab center, thankfully)


Also it doesn’t kill c diff bacteria


Interesting read. As an indie puzzle dev (shameless plug: https://thinky.gg), I find the biggest leap happens when a system’s rules are rich enough that solving becomes about understanding the space and recombining elements, not memorizing solutions. Games with extensible grids and turn mechanics reward that kind of play and creation much better than static collections of challenges


The ARC AGI 2 bump to 52.9% is huge. Shockingly GPT 5.2 Pro does not add too much more (54.2%) for the increase cost.


Completely unrelated, but how does one create a poll on HN?



How does security for these AI browsers work if someone adds prompt injection on their web page?



Wow this game just proves to me how difficult your job is. I am basically getting 50%.

One or two seemed quite obvious to me as concerning or not but turned out to be the other way


It can be challenging but the large majority of skin cancers are fairly obvious and the main reason people don't spot them is because they are not checking their skin regularly and don't have any idea what to look for. Hopefully this app will help patients to learn the basic things to look for.


Been using cursors background agents to do this via mobile app. I was expecting a mobile app by anthropic by now. Wonder what will happen to this project when that happens?


Really cool, I actually haven't met many people using cursor background agents. I do think Anthropic is working on a web app for Claude Code (saw it in some thread somewhere), so I'm sure they're also working on a mobile app. In that case, the value for Omnara + Claude Code diminishes, but we're able to support any agent, so if every company has their own app, but a user can use all the same agents from a single platform, hopefully they'll choose the single platform.


Is there any details about hardware requirements for a sensible tokens per second for each size of these models?


Met my current best friend 15 years ago at Georgia Tech. He was a Fulbright scholar from Turkey studying architecture. Really glad this program existed!
