@a5 How much billionaire a-s can one person eat?

I don't know, but I think you're on the vanguard of finding out.

@a7 Need to be careful with this tbh, you're right that there's no good use cases for AI developed in Optum and there never will be, but leadership has never been able to distinguish the difference between "application made by our engineers at this company" and "third-party application hosted / utilized by our 'engineers' at this company"

Yep basically. I’m just laughing because it can barely process an excel file so good luck trying to replace my job. Easier to just hire an Indian to replace me.
