A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This says everything really. We live in a profit driven society, so where we should invest in public health to ensure that mental healthcare is available for everyone, instead we count pennies, driving public health workers to become private or quit completely. As a result, there's not enough healthcare professionals to go around, if we can alleviate that a little, we absolutely should invest heavily in it. Have people using AI and supervise the AI, make changes and make it the best we can. Because a free AI, which is the dream, can help to save thousands.
