How wild is it to have NIH reps in court arguing against the need to support science environments. And another wild example of Musk pretending to find savings.

Musk has said that Ai can be used to streamline and reduce the number of programs and regulations quickly www.techpolicy.press/ai-cant-solv...

If you believe public institutions should actually serve the public, this is an unacceptable bait-and-switch, write Kevin De Liban and Alice Marwick.

Sorry, actually was referring to the House rules resolution, that they will encourage the use of ai in lawmaking is what I get from reading it- starting about page 20 here docs.house.gov/billsthiswee...

The house passed a bill today requiring govt to make an effort to use AI. Not for any particular purpose.

I was bummed when people started talking about family policing (child welfare) bc I worked hard in that system. But we can’t be offended and hurt when people say “this is violence” bc that is a lived exp. You said you were surprised by the response. But people are saying why. We all have to listen.

If this is surprising to you, it may be a good opportunity to do some deep listening to the collective grief & hopelessness people are feeling about health care. It is real, and as social workers, it is important for us to see and hear. Corporate/ bureaucratic violence is still violence.

Pretty clear that a lot of people see the insurance companies committing widespread murder. I’m not advocating for violence but I am not surprised by the reaction.
