"ACC spent 20 years training and developing fantastic people who were really good at rehabilitation. Then they invented this new computer system, they spent $1 billion on it and fired nearly all of them.

"Now they're saying they're going to bring in 300 and it's going to solve it, absolutely not."

Morning, all,

From an edition of the Hitch-Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy that fell through a wormhole from a thousand years in the future:

Homo Sapiens Sapiens: an allegedly intelligent species of hominids indigenous to the Planet Earth that drove itself to extinction “because it made sound economic sense.”

"AI can tell you that this person has a problem, but AI is not going to tell you what that problem is. What we have is AI identifying someone who ACC can exit."

#WarrenForster, ACC claimant advocate, 2025

This is the kind of "AI" harm we need to worry about. Not sci fi fantasies about word-guessing models becoming self-aware and taking over.
