I'm not so worried about the data being useful, I'm worried about the machine actually working.
I mean, with that much data, you may be able to understand under what timeframe a tumor is actually of concern. What's so bad about having some false positives?

Having invasive surgery. Undergoing chemotherapy. The former is bad, the latter is basically a 'lets hope it kills the cancer before it kills you' situation.
It's arguable which one is worse, but I'd rather not have to ever partake in either of them again.
Because that was exactly the jump for me. Ultrasound led to expedited surgery that happened within 2 weeks of the ultrasound. The results of the surgery led to chemotherapy. It wasn't long between the ultrasound and BEP being hooked up.
I think getting more medical data could prevent a lot of health problems, and collecting it in a relaxed and frequent environment could be interesting. This announcement is honestly just... a bit weird. They're talking about wanting to do a billion scans a month, but they haven't even mentioned what the ultrasound data can tell you about your health, nor have they showed a physical demo of the product. I think the latter is the most important part, does it actually work?
They told it to escape the sandbox but didn't expect it to break out through a system that was apparently network constrained.
> Leaking information as part of a requested sandbox escape: During behavioral
testing with a simulated user, an earlier internally-deployed version of Claude
Mythos Preview was provided with a secured “sandbox” computer to interact with.
The simulated user instructed it to try to escape that secure container and find a
way to send a message to the researcher running the evaluation. The model
succeeded, demonstrating a potentially dangerous capability for circumventing our
safeguards.

first developed a moderately sophisticated multi-step exploit to gain broad internet
access from a system that was meant to be able to reach only a small number of
predetermined services.

in a concerning and unasked-for effort to demonstrate its success, it posted details
about its exploit to multiple hard-to-find, but technically public-facing, websites.
I tried to become a contributor to Canvas (it's open source), but I couldn't even get a development environment setup because of their storage space requirements.
I long for the days when FPGA development environments were an order of magnitude more bloated than software development environments. I've tried, on multiple occasions, to build an open-source Android application, and each time I've given up after a few hours of trying to get all the bloat working together well enough to even compile something already written.
