Reminder that EVERYTHING Anthropic or OpenAI announce in public is propaganda designed to boost their market cap when they hit the IPO they're aiming for.

It's marketing, folks. There is no intelligence behind the artifice, it's just spicy autocomplete and hucksters in $5000 suits trying to pick your boss's pocket.

Healthcare In America:

Doctor - I see that your gscsttigom isn't working as well as I'd like. I'd like to start you on pjehhdntpf instead.

Patient - Okay, do you know how much that's going to cost?

Doctor - Sorry I've got no idea.

Patient - What do you mean? Like give me a ballpark. Is this a $20/month? $100/month? $500/month? Refinance my house for a month's supply?

Doctor - Well, it's probably not "refinance your house" level.

Patient - Umm ... Okay ... That leaves a lot of room in there still.

Doctor - You'll just have to talk to your insurance.

Patient - ... Okay

Later

Patient - Hey insurance, my doc wants me to start taking pjehhdntpf, can you tell me how much it is going to cost?

Insurance - Sorry, I have no idea.

Patient - What do you mean no idea?

Insurance - well, we won't pay anything until your doctor gets a pre-authorization. And then how much we cover is based on the diagnosis codes, your deductible, the specifics of your plan, whether you get it from an in-network pharmacy or not ...

Patient - fine, so give me a best case

Insurance - free if it's approved and in network and you've hit your out of pocket maximum of $100,000

Patient - ... Really not helping here. So assume it gets approved and I've hit my deductable

Insurance - which pharmacy?

Patient - idk ... Umm the CVS down the street

Insurance - Okay that's going to be $5000/month

Patient - ... Wait, WHAT?

Insurance - turns out it's on our exclusions list so we don't cover it unless you get it waved onto the formulary upon appeal

Patient - but.... I have insurance. Why aren't you helping me pay for my medicine?

Insurance - we don't allow that medicine on your employers' plan. You should use gscsttigom instead.

Patient - I'm on that one right now. It doesn't work.

Insurance - well you'll have to appeal it, but you can't do that until after you get a formal denial.

Patient - and how long does that take?

Insurance - well, if your doctor does the preauth paperwork, they'll make a decision about it within 14 business days, unless they need to come back to your doctor for more information. Then they'll mail you the decision within another 7 business days from (insert the location farthest possible away from you in the continental US). Depending on the decision you can appeal the decision, which the appeals process can take a maximum of 180 days, after which you can appeal it again which takes a maximum of 365 days.

Patient - and if I need to start taking the medicine now?

Insurance - well you're free to do that out of pocket and file for reimbursement later.

Patient - at $5000/month?

Insurance - no it'd have to be at the out of pocket price. For that CVS, it looks like it'd be $15000/month

Patient furiously googling "how to move to a civilized country"

Googles "pjehhdntpf price in Mexico" - $12.50 for a 90 day supply.

If you’re unaware, the EU has engaged in mass surveillance in the Global South far ahead of attempts to ram #ChatControl through the EU legal system.

Done underhandedly through Frontex, the EU handed data-extraction tools capable of retrieving call logs, photos, GPS locations and WhatsApp messages from any phone to West African nations, helping transfer migration data from host countries to the EU.

How Europe Outsourced Border Enforcement to Africa

The European Union is militarizing Africa's internal borders to curb migration, with little regard for human rights.

Sooo jetzt mal was richtig Schönes. @adipoeserPursch hat mir vorhin 'n Elektrosmog-Sauger für Brillen angeboten. Tja, Meister. Is‘ nix mit Satire. Das Ding gibt‘s wirklich. Nur teurer. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Wer‘s durchhält, kann sich ja mal das Erklärvideo angucken. Ich sach nur: „Ooouuuuu, Alter! Wo ist der denn ausgebrochen??? 🤯“
Spaß beiseite: Die verdienen sich an diesem offensichtlichen Betrug dusselig. Sowas gehört eigentlich in den Knast.

Did you know that #Soviet #Russia had more "schizophrenic" people than any other Western country?

Do you think that democratic reform is a good way to update institutions? Do you think that communist ideals are questionable?

If so, you may suffer from "sluggish #schizophrenia", a bogus mental disorder diagnosed in Soviet dissidents.

Other symptoms include: pessimism, optimism, sensitivity, & stubbornness.

It's still used for modern dissidents of #Putin exhibiting "delusions of reformism".

Ich lese heute wahnsinnig viel, dass Angst und Wut das Leben Vieler bestimmt und ich verstehe das. Gleichzeitig frage ich mich aber, woran das liegt. Wird die Welt wirklich immer schlechter? Die Tendenz ist kaum von der Hand zu weisen. Aber sie besteht eben nicht nur aus schwarz und weiß. Sie wird aber insbesondere online und zunehmend offline so kommunikativ betrachtet.

Folglich wird jede Entgleisung als größter anzunehmender Afront verstanden und zumindest kommunikativ aufs Blut geechtet. Die Aufmerksamkeit ist damit dann auch gebunden. Und was bringt es, wenn man über jeden noch so kleinen Stock springt, der einem hingehalten wird? Ausdrücklich muss man sich klar positionieren. Das muss auch mit klarer Gegenrede passieren. Viel wichtiger fände ich aber, wenn man das nicht zum Hauptpunkt des eigenen Handelns macht. Wie viel wäre gewonnen, wenn man stattdessen herausfinden würde, dass minütliche Aufregung über bisweilen unglücklich formulierte HAlbsätze exakt gar nichts bringen? Was wäre, wenn die Zeit in eine Verbesserung der lokalen Zustände gesteckt würde? Sich Engagieren oder einfach mit Nachbar*innen eine gute Zeit haben. Für den Zusammenhalt hilft das deutlich mehr als bei jeder Provokation die Revolution zu fordern, weil es darunter ja nun wirklich nicht mehr geht.

Und dann ist die Situation an sich nicht anders. Aber sich nicht nur um den Weltuntergang zu drehen wäre doch schon mal ein Anfang für das eigene Wohlbefinden und dafür, die Handlungsfähigkeit wiederzufinden.
