This is like how DOGE claimed to find millions of dead people getting social security payments, and then it turned out they were only looking at one set of raw data before it's joined with other data when payments are made: https://apnews.com/article/social-security-payments-deceased-false-claims-doge-ed2885f5769f368853ac3615b4852cf7

When you have an agency who comes in with the intention of making a big headline that Trump can run with, they are going to overlook things so that things fit the narrative.

[serious] Why is Lemmy community generaly against AI?

Reply in thread

Companies are not trying to make us more efficient, they're going to make their profit margin larger. This is a situation posed by Cory Doctrow in The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI. Imagine a hospital with 10 radiologists reviewing scans for cancer. Sam Altman sells the hospital an AI radiologist analysts that costs the same as 5 human salaries and can do the job of all 10 of them. Of course the AI is not foolproof, so hospital wants the AI analysis to be reviewed by humans, and they figure only 3 of the radiologists are needed for this. From the hospital's POV, they have a net savings of 2 radiologist salaries. This is the dream of companies that are implementing AI.

The 3 remaining radiologists are considered "reverse centaurs" since they're turned into results-checking drones. They will continue to be overloaded with cases and less intimately involved in the patient analysis, which will turn into general rubber stamping the AI output, rather than spending the time actually analyzing.

Car owners in NY are devastated!

The congestion zone starts at 60th Street and heads south, so traveling from 61st - 79th street won't even encounter the congestion pricing. This guy is dumb on so many levels.

EDIT: I just looked it up on a map and 61st is a one way going west towards Central Park, so if you enter 61st from Madison Ave, you're forced to exit at 5th Ave and go south entering the zone, which I guess is this guy's problem?. I also looked up the guy and he's a CEO Real Estate developer, so he's living in a multi-million dollar place right next to Central Park and can't afford to pay $9 because his private parking spot in his building forces him to drive into the congestion pricing zone. Come on!
