A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect's unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.

I don't know if the number was real but someone posted a picture that their denial rate was 32% whereas the lowest provider was 9%

Their denial rate was 8% when Brian Thompson became CEO and jumped to 22.7% after one year of his leadership. 32% is believable after 3 years, especially if it's true that the decision to train an LLM for the purpose of auto rejecting claims was his directive

Why a LLM when an autoreply of "Denied" would work?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

Presumably because the LLM can give a justification as well, rather than just a straight "no". Doesn't mean it's a good justification but I'm sure they have metrics that say when it looks somewhat plausible that more people don't challenge it.
