Fuck AI

How are employers getting a hold of these results?

Oh thank god I live in a country with universal Healthcare and not in some dystopian syndicalist hellhole. This scenario is unthinkable where I live, AI in medicine is seen here as useful ...

"Our most pessimistic theories were not bad enough"

The better question is why does their employer have access to their private medical data

It's not even greed, isn't this just cruelty at this point?

Dealing with an early diagnosis should be significantly cheaper and more beneficial. Your paying customer lives longer to continue to pay you more for less investment. Right?

Allways this, better than "Fuck AI" is "Fuck AI from big corps" (and big greedy corps too)

Only in 'Murica would life-saving developments be used to deny people treatment so that some rich cunts can accumulate even more wealth

It's a broken country, and I can't wait to see it fall

Alright, if you look at this story from a more reputable source (Reuters), it's quite a bit different. Meta isn't accused of using AI with people's medical information to make early diagnoses and lay them off. Instead,

According to the complaint, Meta used a number of internal AI-assisted systems to score and rank employees ⁠on a ​termination list. Those included "Metamate," a large language model assistant; an employee-trained "second ​brain" that tracked workers' communications and documents; and a productivity score drawn from scanning keystrokes, screen content, emails and browser history, according ​to the lawsuit.

The 26 plaintiffs, who ⁠filed the lawsuit anonymously, are accusing Meta of violating federal and state laws that ban discrimination or retaliation against workers who have disabilities, take medical leave or are ​pregnant. They also claim that Meta failed to test its AI systems for ​bias in ⁠violation of recently adopted California and New York City laws.

So it's still shitty workplace surveillance and discrimination but not the same kind of surveillance and discrimination alleged in the Twitter posts. Meta is using AI to try to rank workers' productivity (on a bunch of shitty metrics) in a way that may discriminate against people with disabilities or who take medical leave or who are pregnant.

Oh look, psychopath CEOs are helping people die faster. And we still do nothing.

The Supreme Court just ruled that it's not racism unless someone specifically points at an action and says "I'd like to do that racism, please!" and so I expect them to use that precedent to target people with disabilities. "They didn't say it out loud, and even though a policy specifically harmed the disabled, it doesn't count"

Edit. Louisiana v Callais

"Technology" under capitalism is a regressive force for violence, theft, and control.

Sounds like zuck needs to have irreversible health issues~

This sounds American.

Reason 748 on why the US health system is fucked up.

Anywhere else in the world, this saves lives.

This is truly sad. If this technology is going to work like claimed in the future and diagnosed early breast cancer in just 5% of people it could help save 32000 people a year and help a lot of people who don't die but have to go though a horrible treatment process.

True unfortunately, but I also have zero sympathy for Meta people.
What's next, cry over Palantir or ICE scumbags losing their job?

This reminds me of the movie Gattaca. A future world where your path in life is heavily influenced based on your genes.
