Hi Esme, wanted to let you know that these videos are off topic in this thread.

This thread is about "internet of shit" aka, "internet of things" gone wrong. For example people's smart fridges getting hacked, street signs glitching out, etc.

Please stay on topic or you will be banned

Ooooooooh. I thought it was just random shit on the internet. Thanks moderator for doing your job!

I don't think that was a moderator level warning. On this forum a thread creator can ban anyone they want from their threads.

Insurance AI automatically denies the insurance claim of a woman going to her recurring annual physical. When asked why, customer support had no reason besides "well the AI said so... so it's denied, sorry there's nothing we can do"

Don't need AI for this.  My health insurance refused to refund a blood test, despite it being one of the items explicitly named in my insurance policy, because the it was a "prise de sang" type of blood-test.  I spoke to two different humans about this on the phone... two humans who aren't fluent in French else they'd know what "prise de sang" means.

JFC.  If this happened recently, you might be able to call the provider and have them switch the coding.  Does your province have any kind of insurance regulatory board?  They might be able to do something.  If nothing else, the OQLF should be able to call them up and swear at them in French.  Or send in their elite combat forces.

Imagine what the first octopus explorers to the surface would think when they see statues of these weird ape creatures.

Modern touchscreen appliances suck for blind people. Even worse when they force you to use an app
