"He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time."

Really?

Notice how it's a statement from another insurer

Legit I thought this was about the assassin when I first started reading this.

ohhhhh...this statement is about the CEO

Even psychopaths can have empathy for their close ones...

Hitler loved his dog.

They usually don't, though. Some of them can pretend, but it's often rather hard to live with a psychopath. Lack of empathy is part of the definition.

I've instituted a new and innovative AI algorithm that determines whether my heart goes out to someone who died, as a first pass measure. It really increases the efficiency in determining who deserves my sympathy.

Oh? It has just output: "Deny, Defend, Depose". How curious.

This statement is in direct conflict with his actions.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably just AI generated slop. Didn’t even bother with using the in house PR team on it.

“Generate a sympathetic statement for death of person. Keep it under 50 words.”

Getting an AI written eulogy because no human being would do it is hillariously Douglas Adamesque.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's actually an ethical use of AI. People shouldn't have to write untrue nice things about reprehensible individuals just because they died. That's gotta cause some sort of weird psychological damage.

Seems reasonable, it must be tough for the family and friends of the guy on the run.

They were referring to improving access to care for share holders .... not the medical care of clients

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They're in the same business. They have to believe that what they are doing is advancing access to care by making sure the companies are solvent. It doesn't matter what the truth is. To quote George Constanza- "It's not a lie if you believe it"

Upton Sinclair — 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.'

Everybody is the hero in their own movie.

I doubt those at the top believe in anything other than the almighty dollar.
