These AI systems are known for making huge errors and are not reliable, and now the tech companies are going to be paid explicitly for denying claims using AI.

More pressure on elected representatives on vaccines must come from constituents.
RFKJr promised that anyone who wants to would be able to get covid boosters if they want to, but that’s not what’s happening.
Not only does ChatGPT cite non-existent science papers, it also treats retracted papers as legit.
Isn’t it obvious that this chatbot technology is dangerously unreliable?
The Trump administration revoking the unions of VA nurses is a grotesque injustice.
The illegal executive order revoking federal workers’ right to unionize and collectively bargain is unacceptable. We have unions for a reason, it’s because they are needed…
The pressure on elected officials about vaccines must come from constituents in their districts.
I believe the only answer here is that the congresspeople and senators all get unimaginable pressure.
Vaccine fruit basket upset: write your reps.
Vaccines are in jeopardy and a public health doctor resigned from CDC, openly citing the eugenics language of leadership.
The Wellness Company is right-wing, and pushes covid quackery including anti-vax crap.
Deregulation of supplements has funded the right-wing greatly, so much so some think that regulating it would go a long way toward defeating the far right.
Another attempt, this time at the state level, to legislate forcing consumers into harm from automated stuff without recourse.
Colorado edition. The Lever – Aug 19, 2025 The Plot To Outlaw AI Lawsuits State lawmakers are pushing a bill that would prohibit consumers from suing businesses whose AI use potentially violates consumer protection laws. Helen Santoro Under pressure from tech giants after their legislative loss in Washington, Colorado’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has called […]
Ghost health insurance plans.
Spread the word about sketchy health insurance! You never know who in your life might be buying health insurance and walk ass-backwards into one of these hustles. Health insurance plans tied to fake jobs. Self-employed, small business owners and people in the gig economy are getting ripped off when they think they’re buying health insurance […]
Funded advertising for the idea of state sponsored ethnic cleansing in America is not a good sign.
And I really don’t want my tax dollars paying for that bullshit, do you?
I’m sending postcards to elected reps asking them if they’ve signed NDAs.
Elected officials shouldn’t be allowed to sign nondisclosure agreements.
Public officials who sign NDAs should resign because they don’t understand the job.
And there really ought to be a law to prevent any such thing from ever happening where elected officials sign agreements to keep secrets from the communities they serve. I have been hearing about NDAs a lot in relation to data center project plans in Pennsylvania and in Wisconsin, and it’s shocking how this has […]
Even the NIH is being overwhelmed by AI generated submissions. Where does this end?
Someone needs to put a stop to the AI slop.
There’s no reason to assume we’ll need these monstrosity data center power plants in the future.
Myth is all the tycoons have, because reality doesn’t care about tech monarchist fantasies.
Monstrosity data center power plant polluting Memphis to power a nerd reich chatbot.
No, I don’t want this in Pennsylvania, I don’t want it in Memphis and I’ve never even been to Memphis, but the situation sounds terrible.
Vaccine uptake is down because vaccine disinformation is well-funded.
There’s no mystery here. Vaccine uptake declined after the start of the pandemic because anti-vax disinformation went mainstream and financial interests against public health protections minimized the threat of covid
We do need a shadow cabinet, but a private medical society is unlikely to overthrow the current regime.
Don’t wait for some elite doctors and scientists to save science for the people from “behind the scenes”.
PA news outlet is reporting on data centers so boondoggles must be imminent in the state house.
Spotlight PA’s newsletter headline: AI data centers are fueling electricity demand.
American Medical Association calls for a senate investigation into CDC ACIP committee firings ahead of the vaccine meeting.
The public comments period opened and CDC ACIP committee members were all abruptly fired.
There’s no magic in any of the covid tests on the market.
Getting what’s convenient (and legal) for yourself is the way to go. There are no silver bullets available anyhow. You still need a multi-layered strategy. There’s no a la carte option if you want to, or need to, avoid covid. I have heard that people are contemplating or suggesting switching to pet covid tests just […]
Marty Makary was copying Stephen Miller and saying America voted for this.
I’ve seen a lot of people on social media mad that Marty Makary said, “America doesn’t want covid boosters” and of course this doesn’t mean Americans don’t want covid boosters. He said “America doesn’t want covid boosters”. Important distinction.
Yes, calling and writing your elected representatives makes a difference.
And no, don’t bother calling politicians if you’re not a verifiable constituent they represent. I keep going over this because I continually people saying they’re doing activism, and then telling people to make anonymous calls, or send emails to some official in another state, and that’s just not going to do anything. I’ve explained the […]
