If you want to be absolutely disgusted by humanity, go over to reddit.com, pick any random post about this event on the frontpage, and look at the thousands of people celebrating Thompson's murder. And begging for more.
- yardie 2y agoHe was the CEO of a company who used an "AI" to deny over 90% of claims. His choices indirectly impacted the life of millions and possibly killed 1000s prematurely. The healthcare industry had it coming, he just happened to be in the wrong place for it.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoOkay, do rank and file employees have it coming to? Let's say the software engineers who helped create that AI - should they be on the hit list?
- bdangubic 2y agodevelopers should think long and hard about what they do, where they work and what is the impact of their work on society. if your “ticket” says “do some data mining shit to figure out a way to deny claims” perhaps polishing up your resume is a good idea
- IncreasePosts 2y agoI didn't ask if they need to think long and hard, I asked if they are on the hit list. I guess nurses, and medical coders are on the list too. 400,000 people actually By the way, what do you do for a living?
- OnlineGladiator 2y agoIf someone did something shitty to contribute to someone else's misery, they shouldn't be surprised the afflicted is upset with them. Where to draw the line for what's shitty and what's an appropriate punishment is subjective, but lawful and ethical only have so much overlap. Job title is irrelevant. Employer is irrelevant. I completely disagree with everything you're advocating for. I've worked at shitty companies and I quit because I didn't want to do shitty things. This is HN. The majority of people here are incredibly privileged and aren't forced to work an immoral job just to afford necessities. Barring extenuating circumstances - which absolutely do not apply to most people here - it is a choice. Anyway, I don't really wanna have a back and forth with you. You come across as incredibly childish to me. I don't respect you enough to care what you think about me and I assume the feeling is mutual.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoSorry, what am I advocating for? I find it interesting that you think I'm childish, whereas there are dozens of people in this hn thread celebrating a man being murdered with a gun in NYC literally 3 feet away from an innocent bystander. That seems pretty childish to me.
- bdangubic 2y agoI dont work for UHC or any shitty place like that, my Mama raised me right. if you knowingly and wilfully do something that can cause death of other humans - yes, 100% you might be on someone’s hit list regardless of your profession.
- xcrunner529 2y agoThose poor people doing the Nazi’s bidding putting the people in gas chambers were just rank and file too.
- RGamma 2y ago90? My info was 30
- yardie 2y agoNo HCU had a company denial rate of 32%. 2x the industry average. The AI they were using in their approval process was 90%.
- xcrunner529 2y agoGood! The world is a better place without them. Anytime that is true I will be happy.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoGo kill a random nurse then working for UHG
