    In the radio business they call that “payola”, and it is very much illegal.

      This is just wealth transfer to keep another AI company afloat. Most of them live and die on investor cash, and never turn a profit.

        Given the answers we know they want this should be a pretty profitable business.

        print “denied”

        Done, and my entire company infastructure is a raspberry pi.

          We can, but it’s getting deeper than that. Algorithmic censorship is leading to changes in the real world English language.

    Good Ol’ Doctor Oz.

    Big profile you should be able to track him down easy in the wee hours of the morning to ask some questions as any good citizen of someone representing their interests.

      I know insurance adjusters, they are under strict rules but whenever they get a chance they do try to approve benefits if it comes to a matter of personal decision making. It’s not that often, but it does happen in the loads and loads of cases that pass through every day.

      Few people realize the scale of these operations.

      An AI system can process all those claims in moments and not only follow guidelines to deny as many as possible, they will do it without feeling a twinge of conscience, and this seemingly small margin of extra denials will likely save the insurance company vast sums of wealth, and all it will cost us, the paying customers, is needless death and suffering.
