What exactly AI $2 billion spend is achieving? Is it another Block Chain MJ fiasco? Looks like wrapper around codex, claude code at best.
Meantime layoffs are accelerating with a false promise and spend on AI

achieving a ton of new do nothing VP and Directors in Lou's Optum.ai org while we cut OI
I could replace my entire tech team with a few proper licenses, approval for deployment and motivation. Ask me how I know...It is my current focus. Working with individual contributors who lack the ability to rapidly learn and apply what they learn for far to long has made me appreciate the ability of AI, even with its junior programmer skill set. Not everyone can do this skill, it takes actually tech knowledge to start with. Instead, they think they can shove degree only offshore into a AI forward deployment team when they used AI to pass their training..I love watching the fallout, it has become a ki-k of sorts.
@4p9 Sounds more like SHATUM COMPUTING 🤭 given it's from uhc tech!
@ma that project is a sham.. vendor doing the actual work. The use case is not even a quantum computing use case, it could be solved by simply algorithms and regular ML. It's not something that will run for days in a non quantum system, hardly minutes. Zmuda is smoking pot to truly believe Sh--Chariactually pulled off a quantum computing solution 🤣
Jen Z just announced they're using quantum computing for an M&R project. A Nobel Prize is obviously en route. At this point, leadership isn't even pretending to be grounded—they’ve completely given up the act. How low does the bar have to drop before they realize they are the punchline?
Only true roi will be offshoring and cutting teams they think can now still operate with half the employees
Apparently the mission is now "make healthcare better with AI". It should just be "make healthcare better, period" and let teams organically discover the tech that works best for them, not force it everywhere. But let's be real, it's all just a farce anyway - UHG lobbies against M4A which would make healthcare much better (see the recent Yale study https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/universal-health-coverage-could-save-one-trillion-dollars-and-114000-lives-every-year/).
might as well get 2b worth of cash and light it on fire, that would be more entertaining
It's enabling the offshoring of more jobs.
