@arstechnica "pharmacy benefit manager" sounds like such an inherently dystopian term

@arstechnica "Lower risk" and "lower risk compared to insulin" are very different things.

@arstechnica Rap music in a trailer for a film about ancient Rome is what you get when you let ChatGPT write the script.

The training data indicated, than whenever Denzel Washington shows up as badass guy, some matching beats need to be dropped.

@arstechnica It’s shit like this that makes me glad I’m no longer tech support/ field service. I’m sure that much of the installed based up would no longer be supported, while the customers will be clamoring for a fix that doesn’t require replacing all the hardware or OSs. Of course, my employer hand waved a lot of issues by saying “if you follow best practices, the risk is nil”

They were required to block the customer, and didn't. I got at least a dozen of those calls.

Sign up for the National Do Not Call list, and report those spam calls. https://www.donotcall.gov/
