Bruh, it asks for login. No thanks.









UnitedHealthcare, is being sued over claims it is using a flawed AI model. The system is said to have wrongfully denied health coverage to critical elderly patients and disagreed with doctors’ determinations.

The lawsuit followed an investigation by Stat News about the use of an AI algorithm called nH Predict developed by Navihealth. The algorithm is used to anticipate how long patients will stay in rehab following acute injuries, illness, or events. Post-acute care includes the likes of nursing homes and rehab centers. The algorithm reportedly does this by examining a database of medical cases from 6 million patients and estimating a patients’ medical requirements and length of stay.

The lawsuit alleges that the AI system has a 90% error rate and overruled the post-acute care opinions of physicians.



The key difference is that Meta mislead parents, and breached privacy laws by gathering children’s data to further enhance advertising.

The lawsuit claims that Meta’s platforms were designed to maximize the time children and teenagers spend on its apps using psychologically manipulative features, and falsely portrayed its products as safe, all in an effort to generate profit .

The lawsuit suggests a perceived lack of transparency and potential violation of federal children’s online privacy laws, which is being challenged in court. This legal action could set a precedent for how digital platforms, including video games, might be regulated in the future, especially regarding features that could be seen as exploitative or harmful to younger users.

In comparison, video games have a rating system in place to help parents decide if it’s suitable for their children, and exploitative mechanics like Loot Boxes were banned in Europe for under 18yo.



After growing 5% quarter over year, they layoff 3% of the workforce because greed.


I work in tech and my workplace is also getting deeply aware that layoffs and cost cutting policies have a lasting negative impact on the happiness levels. What a fucking aha moment…

Besides, It seems like, as the economy starts to hit bottom, companies are getting aware that the fight for talent will start again soon.


The gist to it:

70% drop in short-term Airbnbs after the law’s enforcement.

Approximately 15,000 listings disappeared between August 4 and September 5.

Long-term listings (30 days or more) increased by about 11,000.

Long-term listings are exempt from the new registration law.


Bad Boys For Life on 90 score convinced me the site was a fraud. That Shit is unwatchable.


Absolutely! Great machines indeed, I have one.

However, the sub-$1k market is under served with iPads only.

I think a 12 inches M1 Macbook can do some serious damage at this price range.


I feel Apple is missing out on the opportunity of taking more marketshare.

I remember the sub $750 2010 Macbook Air 11 inches that weighted 900grams and had a 6h battery. One of my favourite laptops all time and my first Mac.

Today Apple insists on iPads that have extremely limited functionality, and don’t really threat MS on entry level laptop market.
