Anthropic’s Claude Invades Healthcare — Because Apparently Doctors Need a Chatbot Too

So Anthropic, those overachieving AI nerds who thought *Claude* should try running the universe, decided it wasn’t enough to annoy us in offices, now the bastard’s going stethoscope-deep into healthcare. Yup, they’ve slathered their “trustworthy, constitutional AI” crap all over hospitals, wrapped it in HIPAA compliance, and called it innovation. Because nothing says “your data’s safe” like letting an AI rummage through your medical history, right?

They’re whinging about “HIPAA-ready enterprise tools” — translation: *we promise not to leak your embarrassing rash photos to the internet*. Claude’s apparently going to help doctors summarize patient notes, draft messages, and probably tell you to drink more water like every other useless chatbot out there. Anthropic’s pitching this like they’ve reinvented the f***ing syringe, when really it’s the same damn AI glued to a bunch of privacy paperwork.

And of course, big corporate partners are drooling over it. Because why hire another nurse when you can have an AI do half the job and still screw it up with confidence? Anthropic’s acting like they’re crusading for medical progress, but really, they just want their share of the sweet, sweet healthcare cash flow.

So yeah, prepare for Claude to join your next doctor’s appointment. He’ll sound smart, spill jargon like confetti, and all the while your private info’s getting turned into “training insights.” Fabulous. Humanity’s doomed, but hey — at least it’s HIPAA-compliant doom.

Reminds me of the time I let a hospital IT guy “test” a new AI system on a live database. The thing tried to diagnose every patient with “Error Code 404.” Management called it a learning opportunity. I called it Tuesday.
