It’s tough to have “human flourishing” (which they mention as a goal) when things like health insurance are in such a shit situation. AI could help health insurance deny more claims, for sure. That’s not human flourishing though. (And my biggest gripe with capitalism is that at a certain late stage in many sectors, human flourishing is completely at odds with making profit.)

They’re not talking about universal human flourishing. Just the subset of the investor class who stand to benefit.

Move fast and break things is why we have progressed from chopping off people's limbs and giving them cocaine to now.

And healthcare is still far from perfect.

Imagine what healthcare in 2500 will be like.

The American Healthcare is so broken already that further breakage could be seen as an improvement.

That’s the attitude that got us here and I suspect we’ll ride it the whole way down

Quick exercise: just scrolling down, count how many pictures don't highlight one man front and center. https://www.ai.gov/ Then click "fact sheets", "remarks", and "articles". He's everywhere. That's how unbiased this is going to be. (hint, the answer is one)

What's American for "juche"?

The design of this website is horrendous. Poor information density, inconsistent vertical spacing, haphazard font choices, lists that aren’t lists, and more.

AI for treatment is rightfully scrutinized. AI for billing or other administrative tasks could be a big cost saver since administrative costs are a huge expense and a major factor of high consumer costs.

  AI for billing or other administrative tasks could be a big cost saver…
You’d hope so, but doubtful. More likely it’ll be health care providers using “AI”s to scheme how to charge as much as possible, and insurers using “AI” to deny claims.

Someone needs to start naming the largest solar and wind farms after Trump.

"We are proposing the largest solar farm in the world, in order to capture the sheer magnitude and capability of the most powerful solar plant to date, we propose calling it the Grand Trump Energy Generation Field"

The dudes ego would prevent him from blocking it.
