Like clockwork the rooster next door starts crowing at 3:15 am every morning. I really need to know why. Cartoons led me to believe they’re triggered by the sun coming up. Is this rooster broken or is this how they all work?

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

The CA Assembly's analysis found AI produced a life-threatening denial because of a statistical correlation: they denied coverage for hospital care for asthmatics with pneumonia bc they have lower mortality... but the lower mortality is *because* they got higher-level care given the risk factor!
I had no idea til I heard this interview that AI was being used to make claim decisions. 🤯 thank you for your important research
