content: As programmer (and therefore someone who understands logic)  Then it's logical for you to understand that you will not be paid for your 'diagnosis', because that's what they bought the machine for. You aren't providing answers, the machine is. You will be paid on an as-needed base to re calibrate the machine when false positives reach a predetermined amount. You'll be the person who gets called twice a year - like a copier tech. You will just be a glorified copier technician.   Isn't a 10x failure rate worth a 100x cost reduction?  Sure - until your mom comes to you and says the machine didn't read it right, she thought everything was fine, computer did not suggest a follow up, and now she has galluping cancer. That kind sucks, and there won't be a human to talk to about it - it's all a machine and that dumbass tech was out last week and promised everything was fine.   My diagnosis: not cancer.  But it's not your diagnosis. You will be given parameters to put into the programing, a little check, and then sent on your way. I see some engineering and programmers getting really excited about this, and truthfully, I am too - but be serious. You're a code jockey and not that important. As a matter of fact, there are hundreds like you willing to take less pay and travel farther.
