Depends on who programed the AI - and no, it is not Kyoto

If they cut $1 trillion from going to Medicare Advantage programs upcoding things, the Medicare Advantage people won't go "ah, shucks, they caught us. Guess our years of grifting are over." The Medicare Advantage programs will just pass that on to the consumer, which will cause some people to drop it, causing the prices to go even higher.

Soon we will see a two-tier medical system for old people: Rich old people and not rich old people, and the pressure for medicare to cover more things will grow.

Do they still sell those novelty toy mics that broadcast and speakers pick it up?

I'm not telling you what to do with that, but there are many options.

Thirty is cordless and light, because fuck 50 pound vacuums that you have to lug around because 'it gets better suction'

Forty is a robotic vacuum that doubles as an alarm clock when it wanders into your room at 7 am, eats a sock, and yells at you to unclog it.

Probably there is a lower ceiling in text generation to things that are considered "progress" by everyone. People can verbalize exactly what is wrong with pictures and video, but for text, if it is coherent and gets the point across what is progress beyond passing the Turing test?

Sitting here trying to figure out if I am related to you. Grandma died at 103, aunt that took care of her, other uncle and aunt had falling out with daughter who then moved to Florida and went no contact. Uncle is only 75ish but his body breaking down.

Guess all the other stuff doesn't match. His wife didn't leave him, she died, but his sister is still alive, and he only had one sister, so...

Is this the same town where they elected a black mayor and the former mayor didn't recognize the election, so they barred him from entering town hall or looking at any of the finances? Something about a secret meeting that canceled the election that no one knew about so somehow the town wound up with two dueling city councils?

Well, maybe sooner than 2030... https://spacenews.com/musk-calls-for-deorbiting-iss-as-soon-as-possible/

Strangly, Trump appointed none of the judges in this circuit

My experience reading the Sinfest comic taught me that people start out as feminists (believe in the equality of the sexes) then turn to radical feminists (believe that women are superior to men), which causes them to see Trans women as men realizing the truth and trying to stay in the superior sex, and trans men as women being tricked by doctors (terfs).

This leads to both demonization of sex work (swerfs) and distrust in doctors in general (anti-vax), and finally leading to the distrust in all science and fact and full blown narcissim.

Most people aren't murders

A lot of things could have cost Harris the election. If you have 4 people of varying strengths try to lift (with varying effort) a couch and fail to move it, do you blame the strongest person? The person that contributed the least lift? The person whose effort is much smaller that what they could lift? All four equally? The person who picked the people to move the couch?

Depending on how you parse the data, you could come to opposite conclusions (Harris lost because she wasn't pro-Israel enough! Harris lost because she was to much pro-genocide!)

What people who want to win next time need to do is look at their part of the failure (how do we get more youth to vote; how do we bring out the base; how do we secure the center; how do we strike back against lies; how do we stop the flow of foreign money...) and fix it for next time so that there are many ways the liberal candidate can win. THEN we can debate about WHICH candidate that should be.
