The Chief’s federal judiciary’s year-end report may as well have been generated by ChatGPT.
For Chief Justice Roberts, the Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary is no longer a serious assessment of the state of the federal courts as much as it’s a taxpayer-funded blog post for him to express his disdain for the American people.
You might suspect that the design of an annual report of the federal judiciary would involve providing the American people with some sense that the Chief Justice of the United States grasps the issues facing the courts and, ideally, has some sort of plan for addressing them. After all, that’s the whole point of any annual report: to provide stakeholders with a sense of the successes and challenges facing an entity. It’s why a corporate 10-K can’t just decline to mention that the CEO is now wanted by Interpol.
While the federal judiciary in 2023 found itself beset by ethical scandals from top to bottom, jurists abandoning any sense of professionalism and decorum, a forum shopping crisis spawned by the lack of reform to the nationwide injunction procedure, and a criminal defendant openly attacking the judicial process and inspiring violent threats against federal judges, John Roberts addressed… none of these.
That’s a big reason I would like to see them replaced by AI. Humans can’t help but be affected by that kind of stuff; AI shouldn’t be. Prejudices and preconceived notions come with the human element and are not something easily fixed. AI shouldn’t have this issue. No, AI doesn’t have any concept of pain other than what it’s been taught; but I’m not sure many of these privileged, silver spoon doctors do either.
I’m aware that humans are the ones programming the AI and are likely to bake in their own prejudices and opinions, but that’s also why any publicly facing AI like that should be able to be audited by anyone to see exactly why it makes the decisions it does. That way the baked in human element can hopefully be weeded out.
Sorry… you think doctors have never felt physical pain because of their privilege?
The same as someone living under the poverty line? No, I don’t. But that is by far the tiniest part of the reason I feel they should be replaced.
So if a person living under the poverty line loses a finger, they will feel more physical pain when it gets lopped off than if it happened to a doctor?
Can you describe the physical mechanism here please?
The poor is going to get to wait in line at urgent care for 6 hours waiting to get it attended to and get sent home with asprin. You really think our medical system is equal among classes?
I think losing a finger hurts the same amount no matter how long you wait for it to get attended to afterward.
Also, that’s not how ERs work. There’s triage. Even if an uninsured person comes to an ER with an emergency like that, they will be seen quickly. I know, I’ve been in the ER three times in the past year for a lesser issue, I have insurance, and a prisoner from the federal prison got treated before I did because he had been stabbed. That’s how ERs work. They don’t base them on your bank balance.
A ranked class medical system has nothing to do with the literal ability to feel pain. You’re acting like doctors somehow have different nervous systems from the rest of humanity.
Also, based on your rationale, are doctors who work at free clinics able to feel physical pain?
