Medicare Will Start Paying AI Companies a Share of Any Claims They Automatically Reject

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-21 01:57:34

It's long been the practice of private health insurers to require "prior authorization" before you can get the treatment you need. Often, they'll try to deny as many of these claims as possible — including with the use of AI models. Government-backed plans like Medicare, however, have tended to cover what private insurers don't, and without the laborious application process. But that could be poised to change.

Google has avoided the worst-case scenario in the pivotal search antitrust case brought by the US Department of Justice. DC District Court Judge Amit Mehta has ruled that Google doesn't have to give up the Chrome browser to mitigate its illegal monopoly in online search. The court will only require a handful of modest behavioral remedies, forcing Google to release some search data to competitors and limit its ability to make exclusive distribution deals.

There’ll Be No De-Aging Jump Scares in ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-21 10:30:57

The Conjuring: Last Rites is already scary sight unseen for Conjuring fans, because it’s due to be the final film in the mainline Conjuring series. But if you’ve watched any of the movies it’s spawned since 2013, you know they aim to shock and terrify, with curse-flinging witches and demonic nuns looming out of the darkness. That said, one thing you can rest assured won’t be in Last Rites: unintentional jump scares wrought by uncanny valley de-aging technology. In a new interview with Entertain

On August 5th, 2024, Judge Amit Mehta ruled in the case of United States of America v. Google, saying, “...the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.” Nearly a year later, the judge has followed that up with a ruling on remedies for Google’s search monopoly.

As the Great Salt Lake Shrinks, Something Unexpected Is Rising to the Surface

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-21 18:20:14

The Great Salt Lake once reached depths of up to 1,000 feet and spanned roughly 20,000 square miles, but today, it mostly resembles a parched wasteland. So, when signs of life suddenly began popping up across the drying playa, scientists were perplexed. In the last several years, reed-covered mounds have appeared off the lake’s southeast shore. These densely vegetated oases must receive enough freshwater to sustain plant life, but experts weren’t sure where this resource was coming from. Resear

Toronto has one of the world’s great commercial downtowns. Two metro lines, eight suburban heavy railways, an extensive bus system, a highway, and North America’s greatest surviving tram network all converge on a tiny area by the shores of Lake Ontario. Hundreds of thousands of commuters pour into the downtown every day, filling the great towers that line its nineteenth-century streets. As with many downtowns, this causes congestion.

Since I love collecting questionable analogies for LLMs, here's a new one I just came up with: an LLM is a lossy encyclopedia. They have a huge array of facts compressed into them but that compression is lossy (see also Ted Chiang).
