That's a fucking idiotic idea.

No, it's fine and makes total sense if your goal is to incentivize your company's suppliers and affiliates to KILL PEOPLE.

I’m so tired of living under capitalism. Can you all please get some fucking class consciousness so we can get out of this hellscape?

So what's the point of having insurance if you can't claim what you need?

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

The point is fraud. They give you just enough to think they will cover you when you really need it. And by then, they've already extracted the optimum amount they were gonna get from you.

The term 'perverse incentive' springs to mind, except there'll be nothing unexpected about the consequences.

the incentives perfectly match the goal

Wasnt incentivising robots to kill humans supoosed to be prevented by those Azimov laws?

Fucking bots, they started disallowing us from browsing the web. Sure they'll be more careful with our lives.

Evil.

Will it then be fined when it gets it wrong after manual review? Will the person be compensated too?

Of course what they forget is other AI companies will game it on the other end to add new codes to claim that won't be denied.

Good Job, Luigi! You saved healthcare!

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The ethics of sabotaging AI are even less murky than the ethics of what Luigi did. We need tech Luigis.

We really need to move to a single payer system when Trump kicks the covfefe bucket.
