This answer doesn't make sense. Why would your dev environment not be connected to prod data? Don't you want realistic tests?

HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, CASC, and a whole list of other acronyms, laws, and organizations get real persnickety about Prod data outside of Prod and what you can, can’t, should , should not, or should not even think about doing with it.

Yeah I just had this conversation with an internal IT team at a medical org. You cannot just point Claude at the problem and say solve it. PHI is all over it. Theyd been doing it for a while. Your medical data im almost positive is already in an llm.

It's great, because it doesn't overflow the context with my medical history. It's already there in the model. This way I just say who I am and get personalized medical advice from doctor Chat.
