They mention autonomous drones. Could that be what people are seeing in new Jersey? The government would probably not want to admit they are flying autonomous drones in new Jersey.

From what I've seen of "ai" so far I doubt this product adds value to a team. But it doesn't matter! Using them means the CEO gets to say he is embracing ai in his products, and the engineering manager gets to say he's improving his teams velocity by using ai, and resumes and stock go up in value and around we go! I don't want to get off!
People need to get on board with tofu.

One too many retros
When I saw the backpack and the gun I thought "so he's a guy that likes luxury gadgets and lifestyle items with neat functionality... software engineer?"
If he had gone to a decent coffee shop and not Starbucks I'd have been convinced

Perhaps, but it may not actually work and there are trade-offs. For example if the treatment were $1T we obviously would not do it.
How do we allocate resources? Who gets to decide? These questions don't disappear when you change policies, it's just the answers that change
Why would a treatment ever cost that much? It shouldn't even cost what is does, it's not justifiable.

I read it, the drugs may have worked but it's possible that one or both were not necessary, or that some other change caused it. The relevant question is bigger than "did it work", it's "was the likely causal improvement enough to justify the cost"
These drug combinations are mostly not approved outside the US because of a lack of data
All that matters to the patient is that it worked.

This guy's condition is tragic, but it's crazy to me that people can read this and come away thinking the insurance companies are the bad guys.
Many drugs don't work, they are expensive. If there are no voices in the room saying "we will not pay for expensive drugs that do not work", then healthcare costs will continue spiraling out of control.
Single payer healthcare will "solve" this by ensuring that the medications this guy was taking do not exist and are never prescribed in the first place.
Did you read the article? The drugs did work, but only at the high doses prescribed.
In fact I am certain you did not read it, as no decent person could read it and say "but it's crazy to me that people can read this and come away thinking the insurance companies are the bad guys."
