Experts urge caution as Trump's big bill incentivizes AI in healthcare

7. After decades of "progressive changes" (not ALWAYS IT related)

I have a hell of a lot of heart burn. Now, is the technology.... or is the greed behind the technology? To be honest, I really don't know. I DO know most of the great technology we started out with... our dreams... our ideals... all turned to the military and became that which we kill people. Just like the atomic bomb. I have become death.

When you can guarantee you have non-greedy, altruistic people in charge of creation of the technology AND the use and maintenance of it, THEN I will probably settle down. I'm an FDR Democrat. But I'm also practical. I was also in technology for 40 years, from the very start of the machines, the WANGS, etc. I knew the potential; I know how it turned out. THe glory days lasted almost 40+ years from start to finish. From the times we were in demand and could get good pay, to the point that most of us were paid low tiered help desk wages.

So, is it the tech, or is it the people creating and running the tech. And I tell you, from what I've seen from the start to present of this Info Age, there'll be a hell of a lot more people hurt with AI (especially) than it will help. You're seeing that right now all across the public spectrum. People losing jobs; hospitals closing; clinics closing. Deep fake videos. kids being told to commit suicide and then told explicitly how to do it. Kids being told to commit murder. But it's not the AI, is it? It's be programming *behind* the AI... Musk, and others... there is no regulation. And just like laissez faire capitalism, THIS will end pretty much same way with as many, or more people hurt.
