Found him!
Here are the people responsible for the nH Predict AI tool that they knew has a 90% error rate when denying claims:
Hmmm… these demographics are not surprising.
I can’t help but think of the scene from Rush Hour where Chris Tucker’s character explains to Jackie Chan’s character his theory on big crimes. It was something like ‘Follow the rich guy. There’s always a rich guy waiting for his slice.’ I gotta rewatch it now.
Could people stop sharing this image of the guy who clearly was not the murderer?!
Seriously. I am almost 100% the guy in the picture was my waiter at the Boathouse restaurant, in Disney Springs (Florida), on the night of the shooting. The person in the picture was nowhere near the state of New York.
Muad’dib!
“We are sorry, the algorithm said you should die, soooooo….”
Here’s an article from last year to add a little more context.
UnitedHealth uses the algorithm to “prematurely and in bad faith discontinue payment for healthcare services,” the complaint said.
“This is an example of how AI is being utilized not to help people but to line the pockets of corporations and their shareholders,” Clarkson said.
When these coverage denials are appealed to federal administrative law judges, about 90% are reversed, the complaint said, demonstrating the “blatant inaccuracy” of the algorithm. Only a tiny fraction of patients appeal the denials at all, Clarkson said.
Also, UnitedHealth said they stopped using the algorithm, turns out they just renamed it and are now using it to deny or reduce mental health treatments. How UnitedHealth’s Playbook for Limiting Mental Health Coverage Puts Countless Americans’ Treatment at Risk
Ah, yes, creating more work for an already overloaded legal and healthcare system, while pocketing the profits from people who won’t fight it. Man, I LOVE capitalism…
So his decisions resulted in others deaths?
Insurance companies practice medicine without a license all the time and those practices result in death. We are just supposed to pretend that’s the correct way to live.
Totally unrelated question, but did Hitler actually directly kill anyone? Mao? Or was it just through their directing of others?
Well, Hitler did kill at least one person…
Sigh… Yea but he also killed the guy that killed hitler
The ai they use is also not intended to separate those who need care from those who don’t, instead the ai is meant to separate those who would successfully appeal against the decision from those who wouldn’t. This is how the UHC denial rate was able to shoot up so fast: from 10.9% in 2020 to 32% in 2023. There have to be a lot of excess deaths, personal bankruptcies and homelessness hiding behind that statistic.
There’s at least one chronic pain patient who allegedly took it out on one CEO, causing one excess death. It’ll be nuts if his jury nullifies his alleged crime
“Look, if we allow these claims then everyone sick will file claims. The hit on our profit margin would be terrible!”
You don’t understand. This man was a pillar of empathy and dedicated his life to improving access to healthcare.
Found the shareholder. /s

How did he even manage to sleep knowing this was the job he did.
Abstraction. These people are in such a different class compared to the average person that they basically don’t associate with them, so they never see the consequence of their downright evil actions… up until a scorned man with nothing to lose makes them very clear very quickly.
On piles of money, I’m sure.

Like that scene in Breaking Bad where Walt is laying on pallets of cash at the car wash.
Probably very easily. The people who make it to the top generally show more psychopathic tendencies.
I wonder what’s going to go through his familys minds when it all settles.
Imagine explaining to your kids why the internet is celebrating their father’s death
The most defining trait of Sociopaths and Psychopaths is having no empathy, so for people like this the suffering of others, be it of their own making or not, has about as much emotional impact as the “suffering” of a leaf of lettuce when they eat it or of a piece of paper they crumple and thrown in the trashcan.
This also means that, amongst other things, they feel no guilt whatsoever (would you feel guilt from eating a leaf of lettuce?!) and will sleep like babies with the blood of thousands on their hands.
Sociopathy
You can see he’s a soulless shell based on his eyes alone. There’s no critical thinking going on in there.
A computer program that returns “denied” in all situations is not an AI.
function DetermineClaim(input) { return "denied"; }The next generation will have names like “assume your a junior computer programmer and write a python script to complete my homework“
Yup, I was in an AI/ML training session about a year ago, and there were a few hospital execs there too. They were absolutely giddy about the prospect of using AI to deny care to unprofitable patients.
So this must be all the “innovation” and “disruption” I keep hearing about.
What an all around nice guy.
Truly a shame he got unjustly murdered. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Deposed. I would not use the m word. Its in the tos.
Yeah we don’t advocate murder around here!
Ridiculously photogenic working class hero
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_murder
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual
