My least favorite thing about social media is those who deploy, “I’m not an expert” after having posted the most polarizing, weighted, biased statements or analysis with spectacularly passionate, righteous conviction. As if “I’m not an expert,” somehow indemnifies them retroactively from potentially spreading damaging, incorrect or (God forbid)…incorrect toxic information. I guess who has time to fact check when it’s easier to just set a digital forest on fire.
At least @x has @grok to fact check/verify on demand 🙏
So @TheDemocrats & @Republicans are both failing as the majority of GenX & GenZ don’t want to be affiliated with either party. Thx @smerconish for exposing this. The politically homeless are up for grabs and most Americans are rejecting the polarized extremes. 🇺🇸 American can self-correct.
Will be interesting to see what AI does to the business of law. Overbilling will continue as long as firms can get away with it, in part because they know much of their legal work will not only be replaced by AI and is significantly more efficient with AI, but in many respects (as models improve) a lot more reliable with AI. How long will consumers flip the bill for fancy reception areas and leather bound law libraries (that are all digitized anyway). Future lawyers better specialize and fast! One example of the future is @FlashJusticeAI which helps working people protect themselves in small claims court. It just started in #Texas but there will be more! #lawyers #legal #lawfirms #attorney
There are incredible things happening.
They get overwhelmed by many other things… but the feeling of mental lift and hope from seeing this is tangible.
Cancer is cured by AI.
GitLab founder Sid Sijbrandij was diagnosed with stage 4 spinal cancer. Every trial rejected him.
His doctors had nothing left to offer.
So he stopped being a patient.
He built an AI research team. Fed them 25TB of his own medical data genomics, scans, treatment history, everything.
The system found a treatment his entire oncology team had missed.
Then engineered 19 custom vaccines from his own DNA.
Relapse-free since 2025.
Then he uploaded the entire blueprint. Free. For every person sitting in that same room, hearing the same verdict, with nobody left to call.
Medicine runs on averages. AI runs on you.
Change in a democracy requires talking to people you disagree with, pressing pause on our echo chamber congregations, and trying to show those you disagree with another point of view, while being open to understanding theirs.
This is what great leaders do.
This is what change makers do.
Give your beliefs the room to explore freely and see where they go and how they return.
Democracy is awesome.
🇺🇸
Let me help rephrase for you Bernie.
Need a loan for college so you can party for a semester and drop out? Taxpayers will loan you money for it.
Need an SBA loan for your business ? Taxpayers will guarantee it.
For a house ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. And local gov will give you money for your first down payment !
Get sick or are in an accident and you can’t afford your deductible, insurance company denied prescribed care or are uninsured ?
You are on your own 😤
Let me add Bernie, the one debt not a single one of us will ever pay off till the day we die ? Our health insurance premiums
And before you go in and on about single payer, ask @claudeai to take a look at your proposed Single Payer legislation.
You want the Sec of HHS to run it. You can’t have a political appointee run an apolitical position
And you expect every provider and doctor to accept whatever rate is set by Medicare. Big hospitals don’t know their costs. They couldn’t do a BOM for any procedure. They have negligible transparency.
If they don’t know their costs, and you don’t know their costs, how is it possible for taxpayers, caregivers and patients to get a fair deal ?
And the concept of “every other country does it “ ignores the fact that they all converted decades and decades ago, long before you and your peers allowed the extreme vertical integration we face now.
Which leads to the question. @BernieSanders , why have you not advocated for the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ?
