I'm sorry, but seriously? How could you not care who has your health data?

I think the more plausible comment is "I've been protected my whole life by health data privacy laws that I have no idea what the other side looks like".

Quite frankly, this is even worse as it can and will override doctors orders and feed into people's delusions as an "expert".

I’d rather have all my health data be used in a way that can actually help me, even with a risk of a breach or misuse, than having it in a folder somewhere doing nothing.

It can also help you in not getting a job because your health data says you'll be sick in 6 months.

You're supposed to share it with a doctor you trust, if nobody qualified asked for it it's probably because it's no longer relevant.

What is it with you people and privacy? Sure it is a minor problem but to be _this_ affected by it? Your hospitals already have your data. Google probably has your data that you have google searched.

What's the worst that can happen with OpenAI having your health data? Vs the best case? You all are no different from AI doomers who claim AI will take over the world.. really nonsensical predictions giving undue weight to the worst possible outcomes.

> What is it with you people and privacy?

There are no doubt many here that might wish they had as consequence-free a life as this question suggests you have had thus far.

I'm happy for you, truly, but there are entire libraries written in answer to that question.

[dmmartins]

I don't care either. Why should I? I go to the doctor once a year and it's always the same. Not much to do with that data

[lionkor]

Your health data could be used in the future, when technology is more advanced, to infer things about you that we don't even know about, and target you or your family for it.

I'm in the same boat as them, I honestly wouldn't care that much if all my health data got leaked. Not saying I'm "correct" about this (I've read the rest of the thread), just saying they're not alone.

It's always been interesting to me how religiously people manage to care about health data privacy, while not caring at all if the NSA can scan all their messages, track their location, etc. The latter is vastly more important to me. (Yes, these are different groups of people, but on a societal/policy level it still feels like we prioritize health privacy oddly more so than other sorts of privacy.)
