The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

The United Healthcare AI that killed your grandmother and mine is still at large.
We can talk about Luigi’s alleged crime once this systemic violence is deposed.
AI is just like the “illegals” that “stole” your job. Profits dictated that the company hire someone for much less than you. AI didn’t invent itself to steal your job. AI didn’t wake up and decide it’s gonna let Grandma die in the nursing home. The company let AI do it, set the guidelines in which AI would come to that conclusion and ultimately pointed AI at every customer and hit the on button.
Please don’t manufacture this as an AI crisis. It’s a healthcare crisis caused by greedy people. End of story.
Fair point. AI is a tool.
In the hands of Anarchists, we could use AI to make Salvador Allende’s CyberSyn dream come true, even without a State.
And in the hands of Capitalists, it is a tool for mass murder. That doesn’t absolve the murderers. It condemns them all the more for their lack of imagination, their inability to see beyond their quarterly profits.
