LOOK I am ALWAYS in defense of Amy Dallon(Worm). Shut up. She's not a "rapist blorbo" she's not a "incest-loving degenerate" or whatever the fuck you assholes are calling her this week. She was a horrifically abused teenager, pushed to her breaking point by an incredible amount of pressure and torture, and when she lost control for ONE instant, at her literal lowest point, her greatest fears came true and she had no ability to cope with her truly abysmal self-image seeming to be completely correct and justified. Like, she literally spent a decade under an absurd about of stress because she was terrified that she was a monster. And then as soon as she did something monstrous, she lost everything she ever loved or cared about and saw no possible way for her to ever be happy again. No fucking shit she kept digging, what else could she do? Was this mentally unstable teenage girl going to take a step back and say "Well, things are bad, but I better do what I can to stop them from getting worse!" No!!! She was avoiding it! She thought she deserved the fucking death penalty! She tried to hold onto what she could for as long as possible, and then as soon as that was done she walked up to the police with a gun and said "If you don't put me in Forever Hell Jail I'm going to start killing!" And then they put her in Forever Hell Jail because Wildbow has weird opinions on crime and justice.

honestly one of the worst cooking mods for vintage story would be the art of cooking because they didnt tell you one of the core mechanics of making dough, like what to do to mix it in world, what keys to press, just saying its done in world IS NOT INTUITIVE. you cant have the alternative of making it in the crafting grid and literally everytime you try to ask anywhere about how to turn flour into dough in this game, google either expects youre playing expanded foods or insists you just need to put the dough. in. the. table. I DONT HAVE THE DOUGH!

also its one of the most buggiest mechanic of the mod, literally the comments are filled with complaints that you need a workaround because trying to make dough constantly crashes the game, the feature singlehandedly makes it incompatible to most mods. the documentation is shite, nor is there any tutorial or a mod showcase and asking around for help is useless BECAUSE THE DISCORD LINK IS EXPIRED 🤦 also why do you even need two separate dependencies for a mod that doesnt even have that many features in the first place. i feel like the dev of that mod just thinks of knapping dough like clay feature and then rushes everything else.

Big Insurance Uses AI to Quickly Deny Claims, One Man Fights Back with AI App That Quickly Appeals

"The idea that American health insurance companies are using AI to analyze and adjudicate claims for approval or denial sounds terrifying, but one North Carolinian is using AI to fight back.

When Raleigh resident Neal Shah had a claim denied for his wife’s chemotherapy drugs, he thought it was rare, that he was the only one, that it was just bad luck.

Litigating his case on phone calls that lasted for hours changed the husband and father, and he set about creating a sophisticated app that uses artificial intelligence to compare claims denial forms against health insurance contracts, before automatically drafting an appeal letter.

“For a doctor to write this, it’s not rocket science, but it still takes hours,” Shah told ABC News 11, adding that a well-written appeal letter, sent in immediately, can sometimes get denials reversed within days or weeks, but most people either don’t know they can appeal, or don’t know on what grounds they can appeal.

In fact, according to Shah’s research, 850 million claims denials occur every year, and less than 1% are ever appealed.

That’s where Counterforce Health comes in, a startup that’s created a free-to-use app for claims denials.

It’s all the more critical a service now that health insurance companies, already armed with statewide government-protected pseudo monopolies and duopolies, are using AI to deny claims within seconds of them being filed.

“Before, you used to have a reason you would deny it, and you used to have a doctor review or a nurse review it, but once AI rolled out, they could just have AI deny it,” Shah explained.

For Counterforce Health, Shah brought onboard Riyaa Jadhav, a Jill of all trades who has helped grow and expand the undertaking through her experience in both the business world and working alongside patients at Johns Hopkins University Hospital.

Together, they’ve built Counterforce to the point where it boasts a 70% success rate in appealing claims.

Thousands have already logged on; many going on to use the service.

“Sometimes when enough people get loud, enough people put pressure, then I think all of a sudden society wakes up, so I really feel like it’s really about to click,” Shah said.

Here's the link to this organization, by the way. According to their numbers, less than 1% of denials in the US are appealed, but 75% of appeals are approved. This could do so much good.

I will never forgive the AI art debate for bringing inspiration porn bang up to date. yass girl use disabled artists as a tool for an argument and then continue to boldly ignore disabled art. you're being so original the way you're using disabled heroes as a bludgeon against other disabled people. awesomee we've all been talking and we think your reference to mozart really made this debate swing in your favour. nobody even noticed that you meant to reference beethoven. go to hell

In between the blatantly racist VoteBlue clowns and the folks who've correctly realized the American political system is a giant capitalist racket, there's this really funny subtype of person who acknowledges that America is fucked beyond what any elections could fix, but still clings to the delusion that their genocide-fuelled settler-colony was at some point truly the home of Freedom and Democracy and Love. Amazingly, this leads them to talk about America like the protagonist in an NTR story:

"Ah, my sweet and lovely US of A... the America I loved as a child is now in the hands of that orange man... She never looked like that when led by someone that I voted for... yes, she would smile and say she loved me, but there was always something missing... Is this who she really was all along? Laughing and moaning so indecently as we enter new wars and assault people on the streets... No! This isn't the America I know! She would never do such perverted things! It has to be a lie! It has to be a lie, right? Tell me I'm wrong, America! Tell me you still love me! Don't you remember how we used to talk about freedom and democracy? About equal opportunity for everyone? Give her back! Give me back my land of the free and home of the brave! Ah, but it's no use. I can't forget what I've seen. I can't trust you again. You betrayed me, America. You betrayed our beautiful love. Perhaps this was who you were all along. Perhaps the billionaires and the military and the fascists were always the types of guys you dreamt about. A simple working Joe like me could never satisfy you, could I? Oh, what a fool I've been..."
