A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect's unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.

They are checking every dispute or contested denial of service brought against the company, as well as running down every threat made against the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

That's gonna take some time.

I don't know if the number was real but someone posted a picture that their denial rate was 32% whereas the lowest provider was 9%

[-] mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 76 points 1 week ago

Their denial rate was 8% when Brian Thompson became CEO and jumped to 22.7% after one year of his leadership. 32% is believable after 3 years, especially if it's true that the decision to train an LLM for the purpose of auto rejecting claims was his directive

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 27 points 1 week ago

Why a LLM when an autoreply of "Denied" would work?

[-] Drusenija@aussie.zone 19 points 1 week ago

Presumably because the LLM can give a justification as well, rather than just a straight "no". Doesn't mean it's a good justification but I'm sure they have metrics that say when it looks somewhat plausible that more people don't challenge it.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Isn't it their policy to deny every claim to force an appeal? How many claims do they get in a day? Their investigation will never end.

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago

I believe their policy is deny, delay, defend.

[-] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 128 points 1 week ago

They go to the same lengths for every murder, right? Right?

Guess he stayed hidden for long enough to loose all 3 wanted stars.

And remember: respect is everything!

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 104 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

i'm not remotely convinced they haven't just grabbed footage of some rando with a hoodie and said "he's the one!" so it looks like they're actually getting somewhere

that said, if i were cop, i'd be dropping my usual half-ass work ethic down to quarter-ass at most on this one

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Hey now, they’d never do something so horrible to a white person.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 75 points 1 week ago

Oh no. He got away. How sad. Oh well.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 56 points 1 week ago

Hah! I know that everybody's got a price, and I can't claim that I'd never turn over information about the guy.

But I do know that my price would be one hell of a lot higher than $10,000, that's for damn sure.

Man, these trained professionals are on it.

It isn't necessary to have proper capabilities to perform actions as much as it is to have the perception to have the capabilities to perform the actions.

For example. The door greeters at Walmart do not stop theft, they deter it merely by their presence.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

Wasn't he seen in Madrid recently?

[-] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You may be on to something here. ~~Anyone want to ddos the NYPD tip line~~ Make sure to share any useful information you may have with law enforcement.

[-] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 week ago

He was spotted at a cafe in Salt Lake City, video here

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Automatic thumbnails under YouTube links have ruined the internet.

[-] puppycat 11 points 1 week ago

ads playing before videos have ruined the internet

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Ublock Orgin, AdGuard DNS, YouTube ReVanced, SmartTubeNext, Piped, PiHole. You know the drill; no need to explain this over and over. Pick 2 or 3 of these and use them.

[-] puppycat 5 points 1 week ago

i feel like if you're on Lemmy you're tech savvy enough to know that ad blocking is a thing that exists. I'm just saying it killed rick rolling.

I'm so glad I use Voyager, cause it shows link previews, making it impossible to fall for this shit anymore.

Wow. It sure was nice of him to give bagels and Christmas presents to those homeless people outside. What a guy.

I just saw someone that looked very similar hiking off trail near Sonora Pass in the sierra nevadas

[-] Zier@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago

No, it was Kazakhstan.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Probably swung up to Albany for some steamed hams.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

Don't you mean steamed clams?...

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago

No, steamed hams! It's an old family recipe.

The correct term is "Hero", not "Murder Suspect"
