Just learned that the history department I got my BA from has shrunk considerably and been absorbed into a wider 'humanities' dept. There were 100 students in my first year class in 2001. Without historical analysis we are at the mercy of the plastic, hollow and blind cult of consumer capitalism.

A while back, BS/BC decided to stop covering all autism evaluation visits. Didn't tell the practitioners or members beforehand, just randomly started denying claims. Caused a bit of a scramble. The solution? Drs just re-coded everything as an anxiety visit where autism was "accidentally" discovered.

also just for general awareness notice how cops are interpreting “delay, deny, depose” as a threat when people use it against health insurance companies but don’t seem to care that that’s how health insurance companies increase their profits.

Luigi got them shook.
North Carolina’s Atrium Health says it will forgive the debts of 11,500 people — less than a week after NBC News reported that the company has aggressively pursued former patients’ medical debts, placing liens on their homes to collect on bills.
'Like a miracle': N.C. couple free of nearly $100,000 medical debt after 15 years
The lien on Donna and Gary Lindabury's home for a 2009 heart surgery debt was among 11,500 wiped away by Atrium Health after an NBC News report.

I've said before, I have it as a contract point that my narrators have to be actual live humans (same with my editors, copyeditors, cover artists, etc). If you think your work can be sufficiently narrated by an "AI" then you are implicitly saying some very negative things about your work.
Former audiobook narrator and publisher. This was rampant over 2 years ago in the narration community. A few big names sold their voice prints for hefty 6 figures, and now authors are turning to AI and talking about it at conferences as a way to make more money without sacrificing quality. 2 years?!
