Before the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was killed, a lawsuit had been filed against the insurance giant, accusing the company of using a faulty Artificial Inteligence tool to deny claims that had already been approved by doctors.

In November 2023, a lawsuit filed by two families claimed that UnitedHealthcare used an AI algorithm to deny coverage for patients, despite doctors deeming the care necessary.

Both of the families had a family member that was covered by the insurance giant die, as reported by Newsweek.

fuck

just take it and if you're hyperventilating from stress every day then just give up, do nothing, and force them to fire you while collecting paycheck in the meantime

like, you shouldn't do this, but you're already a moron for turning down a great job in this economy, might as well extract what you can while it's on the table

even if you get fired after one single paycheck, it's more than what you got by turning it down

26 years old is early Gen Z though, which is indeed the worst generation in the history of the world. 

Phoebe Thorburn is an autistic writer, cook and developer of inclusive vegan & gluten-free recipes. They are currently writing their first multidisciplinary cookbook.

Of course they are...

It's just monumental stupidity and to make it worse the moron went and published the article documenting their monumental stupidity.


The caption on the photo just summed up the whole generation of morons

Phoebe is a cook, microbaker and freelance writer but craved a job that made answering the question, "What do you do?" easy and impressive

You are correct, but millenials are also retards so my point stands.

so I feel like this applies to everyone at thebore?

if you can microwave a hotdog, bake a single tray of muffins, and post weird rants on message boards all day, you have the exact same fulfilling job as phoebe

I wonder if she's also a canine exercise management specialist or a self-wellness engineer

[Potato]

She also seems to live in her upper-middle class family home in Melbourne. I imagine her desire to get a job to move out is tempered by the fact that what she will be able to afford is not going to be anywhere near what her parents are providing. I suspect the reality of moving into a shitty share house hit her hard when they offered her the job.



This is not the life of someone who want's a real job and to move out of their parents' home. Bose headphones, Apple laptops, comfortable furniture.

Just another failure to launch gen z

She's 26 years old? She looks like my mom when she was in her mid 40s.

How the fuck do you age that badly while living such a coddled life.

DEI makes us see prejudice where it doesn't exist
DEI training leads to increased hostility, falsely perceived prejudice and agreement with authoritarian rhetoric, such as adapted quotes from Adolf Hitler, according to the study −

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/dei-promotes-false-perceptions-of-prejudice-walmart-ford-finally-see-the-truth-opinion/ar-AA1vthgj?ocid=emmx-mmx-feeds&pc=EMMX01&cvid=e052537f0a6b4c94836fa6fed79329ba&ei=28

While DEI is supposed to lead to less bias and discrimination, the study found that diversity training actually caused more.

For instance, in the race-based experiment, the researchers divided 423 Rutgers University students into two groups. One group was given an essay about corn production. The other read excerpts from Ibram X. Kendi’s book “How to Be an Antiracist” and Robin DiAngelo’s book “White Fragility.”

After they read their respective selections, participants were given a race-neutral scenario in which an admissions officer at an elite university rejects a student’s application.

Those who read the DEI-inspired material were more likely to believe discrimination was at the root of the decision – even though the student and administrator's race hadn’t been mentioned. In addition, these participants were more likely to think the administrator deserved to be punished.

As the study states: “DEI narratives that focus heavily on victimization and systemic oppression can foster unwarranted distrust and suspicions of institutions and alter subjective assessments of events.”

[Nintex]

Just as Obama planned.

[Uncle]

I want to read the corn essay 

[killamajig]

Yeah, did they check to see if those college kids became more racist towards corn? Or maybe they became more pro corn. 

Someone should find out

[Uncle]

I will say if the study happened as presented, it kind of sounds flawed, like yes obviously if you give someone leading literature they're going to have it rolling around in their head for at least as long as they're a captive audience

maybe that's the point, it just feels weird

if you force someone to read a paper that presents a strong argument that people named Sam have a tendency to be evil and sadistic, and then have them read a story about two anonymous people and ask which of them is more likely to be named Sam, obviously they're going to take what they just read into account

[killamajig]

FYI, this might be what gun CEO killer used

veterinary gun



Pre made silent assassin gun. Most non gun people don't know shit like this exsists. That's why when they start talking about banning certain types of guns I just roll my eyes.

I think that sort of supports the point?

Imagine you work at a place that has occasional HR reminders about Evil Sam, along with quarterly required trainings that go more in depth Evil Sam. The general staff is going to analyze basically every interaction via the Evil Sam mental model.

"Wait...did she say her name was SAMantha?"

[Potato]

So, you're telling me that undergrad students are easily influenced by what they read and apply little critical thinking?

I think what's got me is the immediacy of it

"for the purposes of this study, 2 plus 2 equals 6. now tell me, what does 2 plus 2 equal?"

I don't know that this says anything about the actual long term effects of DEI training

oh it also doesn't attempt to measure potential positive outcomes like presenting various scenarios where legitimately someone was detrimentally affected and how you would handle the situation differently based on what you just read

that would be the tack that proponents would take, "ok so you might make an occasional bad assumption, that doesn't undo all the long term good"

Imagine making that gun and thinking it will only be used on veterinaries.
