Called place where I’m getting ultrasound today: “Uh..I just got a call from one of your employees saying I need a different test and she had my address and insurance provider wrong and didn’t know if any of this is covered?” Receptionist: “oh yeah that’s our AI agent Vivian. She gets confused!”
Molly Knight@mollyknight.bsky.social · 4d agoI’ve now experienced AI fucking up TWO medical things for me in the past month. 1. Sent me the wrong summary of a bad blood test result via patient portal that scared the shit out of me 2. An AI agent (who I did not know was an AI agent) called me today to schedule a test my doctor did not order
Also, shouldn't there be a bunch of class action lawsuits over this, on grounds of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act? They're basically making it impossible to vote if you have serious mobility problems, or chronic pain issues, among other limitations

Stealing taxpayer money? Money laundering? This reeks of corruption. Because how the hell does a prison offered for $75 million suddenly cost taxpayers $495.6 MILLION? #BlueWaveIn3Days

I keep saying the scale of the waste, fraud and abuse going on on DHS is is off the chart. Too much money handed to people not known for their integrity
Chris Ingraham@cingraham.bsky.social · last wk.This is absolutely insane: A private prison in Minnesota was on sale for $75 million; ICE ended up paying $495 million in taxpayer money for it. The price differential is nearly as much as the losses from the Feeding Our Future fraud. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Judd Legum@juddlegum.bsky.social · 2w agoRamaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.
Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 2w agoWe found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
