I actually think it's literally almost malpractice not to be doing that today... this is one of the areas where people like to have a cause celeb and kind of virtue signaling of I'm really good, and that that AI thing is bad because it's bad on energy, it's bad on climate, it's bad on local electricity costs.

And by the way, it doesn't mean that there won't be something there, but like like, for example, when people say, oh, AI is already raising electric costs and they give you their data analysis.

Why this clip

Strong contrarian language calling out AI energy critics as 'virtue signaling' while making the bold claim that not using AI medical checks is 'malpractice.' The juxtaposition of medical necessity vs climate virtue signaling creates a provocative quotable moment.
