ANYONE Can Now BUILD an OPERATING SYSTEM Overnight... Your Tech Job Is ALREADY Dead.
OpenFactory lets users generate a custom Debian-based Linux distribution with KDE Plasma through either an AI prompt or a selection menu.

AI Just DENIED A Man's Pain Treatment THREE TIMES... Your Body Is NOW A Spreadsheet.
A patient named Magnuson needed an epidural steroid injection for back pain. Medicare denied it. His doctors appealed with MORE documentation. Denied AGAIN. A third appeal. DENIED A THIRD TIME.
