I know someone's mom who had tumor the size of an orange in her brain that had gone undetected for a decade.. She was told that, the fact that he limbs were not working properly, was because of arthritis.
Another person with bacterial lung infection from soil while on vacation was told that it was cancer; that center got shut down for misdiagnosis because poor reading of the Xray.
Another person that I knew had gone to doctor for spinal pain which was result of a disk rupture was told, as she gets older, she won't feel it as much so she shouldn't worry too much, the pain will get dull after a while. The doctor that I took her to, was literally laughing out loud after hearing that.
Germans probably know this better than anyone else. From what I understand the engine for this originally was the economically disadvantaged areas of ex-East-Germany where the apposition to socialism was ultra encouraged and they are now delivering.
Likely that unemployed have economic anxieties and resort to this crap but you know the right wingers specialize in tax-cut lingo to serve zillionaires... emails apparently show that zillionaires are funding them according to the leaks.
With Ai it will be about trust and whether it can optimize between wishes of masses, rights and work towards the best outcome.
Do I trust Ai? not off the box but if its pattern of past decisions are exposed, maybe. I don't hate Ai yet. I think people will corrupt them in time as they always do in future.
Such as:
- gifts to politicians
- self directed crypto
- Snyder v. United States renamed bribes as gratuities LOL and now its legal!
Does anyone remember Cambridge Analytica activity on Facebook during US elections in 2016.. Look it up if you don't remember. The same entity was also active in South America aka Colombia, Brazil, Argentina.. Cambridge Analytica was never charged and Facebook was never charged because it was all made legal. After the revelations, some laws changed but has it really changed. Is it stopping American interference in other countries? it doesn't look like it. What about at home? You know better than I do if you have an account; I don't.
My guess is that with modular precast forms, it would be something $500k max!
Somebody pocketed some big amount of cash, I would guess.
