And I'm going to sell you some software that's going to sit next to the radiologist.

Tap him on the shoulder and say, hey, why don't you take another look at that one?

You might have missed something.

Well, I'd be all for it as someone who has just gone through radiology.

But no one has invested in Sam Altman on the premise that his sales force is going to ask CEOs to spend more, right?

This is all based on the idea that that salesman goes up to the CEO's office and says, you've got 10 radiologists.

They cost you $3 million a year.

Fire nine of them.

split the $2.7 million with my boss, Sam Altman, take the remaining guy and make him what Dan Davies calls the accountability sink.

He marks the AI's homework at a superhuman pace that is going to guarantee that he's going to miss things for grueling hours.

And when someone dies, we blame that guy because his signature is at the bottom of every one of those x-rays.

understands that, then you understand that while there is a way in which automation can assist a worker who's in charge of the adoption of the automation, that it requires the worker be in charge.

And right now the radiologists are in charge.

I've talked about this in public and radiologists get in touch with me and they're like, you need to understand we're in such short supply.

That's how it works now.

do the work.
