Random story I remember reading online but couldn't now find if I tried:

The guy telling the story got bored and decided to Educate Himself by watching older, classic anime that he hadn't seen before. I can't recall what the name of the anime was, but he picked up one that was somewhat of a classic from the 80s. It wasn't perfect by anyone's standards but refreshingly lacking in the most annoying and stereotypical clichés and tropes of more modern anime. It did have the Standard Anime Tropes of the time, but being completely unfamiliar with most them, it was a breath of fresh air.

Until he got to the end credits of the first episode and suddenly something triggered a wave of extremely ambiguous Emotion. While there are cultural components to this, I have been on testosterone for long enough to attest that it is also physically simply harder for a man to cry from emotion alone, and something just now had kicked him in the chest hard enough for him to tear up.

It was the end credits song. For no clearly apparent reason this song overwhelmed him with a strange longing, nostalgia for an era that he had literally never lived in, stabbing right through him like an ice pick, powerless to do anything about it. While he had previously intended to spend the whole night watching this show, he went to do something else instead.

Later on he was talking with his mother about something else, and mentioned trying to watch this anime but not getting past the first episode - he didn't elaborate why. His mother was delighted and encouraged him to keep watching it if he can just get over the initial weirdness - she used to watch it Back In The Day and loved it when she was younger. She then started humming the end credit song, and the stabbing of emotion came back with an epiphany.

She had hummed the melody as a lullaby to him, vocalising over the japanese lyrics that she hadn't known then and didn't understand now. And that's how this guy discovered that his mom is a weeb.

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.

And another source for validity:
