a lot of people super mad about chatbots being used for therapy, by patients themselves but especially by therapists (!), and I think this is only going to become increasingly common as therapy is extremely scriptable and human therapists are extremely expensive so there is strong pressure to automate most of what they do-- but the one part that cannot be automated is the appearance of a Real Live Human paying attention to you! so there is real tension there.

if clinics hired friendly himbos to look you in the eye and gently explain "here's what ChatGPT diagnosed you with" it would probably go across a lot better than the current arrangement.

truth or consequences ⇒ truth and consequences

I am not an Ayn Rand fan, but she cooked with “you can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality”

This new AI-driven pilot program for Medicare is similar to tactics used by private health insurance companies to deny claims. A recent lawsuit filed against UnitedHealth alleged that it knowingly used a faulty artificial intelligence algorithm to deny elderly patients coverage for extended care deemed necessary by their doctors. Health care should not be run for profit. Period.

it's astounding how left internet types of a certain ideological bend have kept quiet about the war only to come out of the woodworks now, again, to condemn the crimea bridge sabotage as "terrorism." every time ukraine liberates even a small settlement is bittersweet, because shortly thereafter some horrific mass grave or evidence of torture comes to light. russia blew up an apartment building for no strategic reason and killed at least thirty people yesterday evening—is that not terrorism?
