"The Trump administration will launch a program to find out how much money an artificial intelligence algorithm could save the federal government by denying care to Medicare patients...

"It will affect patients in AZ, OH, OK, NJ, TX, and WA starting January 1..."

Private health insurers use AI to approve or deny care. Soon Medicare will, too.

A pilot program testing the use of artificial intelligence to expand prior authorization decisions in Medicare has providers, politicians and researchers asking questions.

#FantasticFour was about the nerdiest movie ever - as a FF movie should be. The narrative that it's a failure because casuals didn't show up for it is weird to me #Marvel #MCU

“a company connected to the United Arab Emirates government bought $2 billion in stablecoins issued by World Liberty Financial, the Trump family crypto firm, enabling the family to use the actual money it received to make tens of millions of dollars in interest”

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide

Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

I feel like the richest man in the world turning the 8th biggest website on the internet into a full on Nazi AI chatbot should be a bigger news story. Or a news story at all. Oh well, guess I'm wrong
