Check out page 21 of the source linked below, the original claim is a quite a bit off, but United Healthcare did implement an AI system that increased overall denial rates, especially in the category of post-acute care (the kind of stuff people need after a major procedure to safely recover).
No. Brian Thompson is not special, they are just one of many, and that is the point. These are systematic problems, not an individual moral failing of one CEO or one corporation.
No, that’s why I talked about the owning class. Their socio-economic class has a different relationship to businesses than the worker class. Furthermore, the vast majority of the 440,000 employees are not in an executive role (and able to decide what work the corporation does) nor do most have the financial freedom to choose a more ethical job (there are only so many jobs available that pay enough to support a family, most of which are just in other for-profit companies beholden to the same rules of competition under capitalism).
And, as I said before, I don’t advocate for assassination as a tactic, for strategic reasons:
The only reason to avoid advocating these acts is that this style of PotD-like adventurism generally isn’t a sustainable tactic, compared to the power of building a mass movement.
I do celebrate Thompson’s assassination, but I don’t advocate copycats.
Be specific. Talk about Brian Thompson, not the nebulous “owning class”.
He allowed an ai to refuse up to 95% of claims leading to likely thousands of deaths.
So yeah. He should have died. As should others, for the same reason. Evil people don’t deserve to live. End of story.
What a bold claim! Obviously you have a source for that, right?

Oh wow. Literally 5 seconds of googling. You’re intentionally ignorant. You’re not discussing anything in good faith. You really cannot be this dumb.
Did you link the wrong article? Nowhere in there does it say anything resembling what you claimed…

What an understatement.
So this was obviously just projection:
Do better.
No. Brian Thompson is not special, they are just one of many, and that is the point. These are systematic problems, not an individual moral failing of one CEO or one corporation.
So you advocate for the murder of all ~440,000 UHC employees?

Celebrating the murder is advocacy.
