That would be murder, but it is not what the articles says they did.
UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money.
This is murder.

As our neighbors are being kidnapped off the street and shipped to Louisiana or further afield to foreign gulags, without so much as the pretense that they've broken any law, this mealy mouthed response is the most Cuomo can muster.

Meanwhile: immediately adopting “the mad king and his scheming vizier” as the perfect way to discuss these two without having to utter their names. 😏
it's very weird to live under authoritarianism as just a random person and have the mad king and his scheming vizier's every passing thought fully available to us because they are mass broadcasting all of them as posts because they are addicted to posts

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

Yes it's a plagiarism machine meant to put us all out of work and enrich the worst people alive and yes one request expends more energy than it takes to power Buffalo for a week, but more than that anything to do with AI is just corny dork-made shit. It fucking sucks and so do you if you use it.

Starbucks workers AND Amazon workers are on nationwide strikes during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. I truly hope their bosses are sweating bullets :)

a) fuck amazon; b) it's below freezing in NYC today so this is intentionally creating an icy sidewalk for everyone to slip on; c) seriously, what middle-management bootlicker piece of shit --who will never see a single dime of Bezos's money -- made the decision to do this
I wish I could say I was shocked. #Amazon can get fucked.

Listen, not the most important thing and it’s trivial but I just don’t want to hear from that fucking guy anymore. Every day a barrage of weapons-grade embarrassment and hate and it’s just so ceaseless, so corrosive, so awful — I’m desperate (as are you all I suspect) to be shut of him. Fuck.
