THE MORTAL IMMORTAL

We sought to discover powers to become gods. We sought to evolve into immortals…and then it finally happened… I cry for everything that I have done. I yearn for my mother’s embrace. At the same time, I feel guilty for what I did to millions of mothers. Here’s the worst part. I am stuck with the people whom I hated…who I looked at like parasites. In other words, I am stuck with others like me. We were the top 5% of the world’s wealthiest. Back when the earth started spitting fire, and the sky sought vengeance for all the wrongs we committed, we sought a way off the planet. If only greed wasn’t our forte, we would have survived…probably killed each other while fighting for control over the small elitist colony we had built. But greed corrupts…and it leaves a mark. Who knew prophets were real people? Who knew God was real? We sure didn’t believe in that nonsense. So imagine our surprise when one of our paid scientists discovered the strange golden holes, a cosmic phenomenon like a black hole. We spent more money on that research. Threats were made, people were killed, and banks were extorted to fund that. And when we found that the golden holes were a way to gain godhood, just as they were how prophets communicated to God, and they were how Annunaki had reached out to humans to teach more technological marvels, we too sought to become gods…and so we did. My memory fails me. All I remember is that we had managed to travel at the high frequency our researchers found in the codes of the Egyptian pyramids. We build such sophisticated spaceships, possibly killing entire food chains with our nuclear fuels. And then…we traveled to the golden hole a million light years away. All I remember is a blinding light, and superhuman gifts…or curses I should say. We could hear each others’ thoughts, knew each others’ motives and the worst part? We couldn’t kill each other, nor can we kill ourselves. We are not human anymore, and we are forever trapped in the golden realm, unable to move beyond this bubble of light. We can understand the marvels that went through Einstein, and we still cannot use any of that genius to escape. Every day, I am forced to live the lives of all those people whom I wronged…and with me, the others live it too. We feel their pain, and we cry for them…and there are millions…we feel the pain of even those ants we stepped on. You can imagine…what our life is like now.

When Mortals Become Gods: A Story of Unforeseen Consequences

In a , it was (in an anticlimactic way) announced that not only is Mortal Kombat 12 real but that it’s coming out this year. Warner Bros. Discovery earning call Ed Boon, the co-creator of Mortal Kombat, has already done everything except outright say, “Mortal Kombat 12 is the next game we’re working on”, so this doesn’t come as a huge shocker to MK fans. It is, however, the confirmation they have been waiting for. But with this question answered, more questions pop up. When is the game coming out? How is it going to play? What’s the roster going to look like? We’re now entering the speculation phase. Mortal Kombat 12 Roster Right off the bat, we can most likely predict a good chunk of the roster. Staple characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kitana, Kung Lao, and Liu Kang are definitely going to be included in the game. Below them are characters that have a very strong chance of making the cut, but it’s not a guarantee. This includes characters like Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, and Jax Briggs. The reason why they aren’t a cinch is because there is a possibility that they are phased out for newer characters. Characters who also have a good chance are Mileena, Kano, and Cassie Cage, but they’re not a safe bet either. Also, since MK9, Mortal Kombat has always had guest characters. There is no way that they are going to miss out on that sweet, sweet cash; fans should expect a few surprise guests. Now, I know what you’re thinking: What about Raiden? He’s essentially in every game. This is a spoiler for Mortal Kombat 11, but in the end, Raiden relinquished his power. Maybe this is their way of putting Raiden on the back burner for a while. But who knows? Characters have died and been brought back; Raiden losing his power doesn’t mean we won’t be able to play as him in MK12. However, speaking about the MK11 story does lead to more reckless speculation. Mortal Kombat 12 Plot At the end of MK11, Liu Kang gains control of the hourglass which means he can control the timeline. This leads to a whole other universe of possibilities. Everything we know about the Mortal Kombat story and lore could potentially change. Then again, the Mortal Kombat story is sometimes wishy-washy; they could just say, “jk lol” and keep the status quo. However, we also saw him talking to the Great Kung Lao, a character who lived way before the events of the first Mortal Kombat game. This could be an indication that this game takes place in the past, or that the Mortal Kombat timeline and events as we know it have already changed. We have a tiny hint of what the roster will look like and what the plot will be. Next is the gameplay. Mortal Kombat 12 Gameplay There really is no point in speculating about this because Netherrealm Studios (the studio that makes Mortal Kombat) likes to switch things up all the time. Mortal Kombat 9 feels different from MKX which feels different from MK11. How MK12 will feel and play is up in the air. There is one thing we can speculate on, though. X-rays, Fatal Blows, super moves, or whatever you want to call them, are definitely returning. Since making their debut in MK9, they have been a huge hit with the fans, and it’s safe to say that they are a permanent addition to the franchise. This leaves us with only one thing left to speculate: the release date. Mortal Kombat 12 Release Date Okay, here are all of the facts. Warner Bros. Discovery said that MK12 is coming out this year. We know that Street Fighter 6 is coming out on June 2. It would be very dumb for both games to come out within the same time; it most likely won’t come out around then. We’re already entering March without having seen any footage of MK12 which means it’s probably not coming out within the next three months. That leaves August and beyond. So, it seems that MK12 will release toward the last chunk of the year. Fans have already waited a long time for this game; they can wait a few months longer.

Amazon has been salivating at the multitrillion-dollar United States healthcare market since 2018. Although Amazon Health played a vital role in public health during the pandemic, most still don’t view it as a disruptor. A new chapter in the American conglomerate’s move into the industry is upon us — Health Condition Programs. How does this initiative fit into the tech titan’s grand healthcare plan? It’s anybody’s guess. I can only speculate about the countless scenarios surrounding the interplay between Health Condition Programs and Amazon’s diverse solutions. However, the real question we should all be asking is — will it buck the trend of the organization’s cybersecurity, patient safety, and privacy scandals? A Treasure Trove of Patient Data On paper, Health Condition Programs aim to encourage millions of Americans to maximize their unused healthcare features. This mission has merit because over one-third of workers don’t fully understand the employee benefits they signed up for. Many American adults might be unaware that they can receive care to manage chronic conditions — such as diabetes and hypertension — between doctor visits at no extra cost to them. Enrolling in these programs allows insured individuals to maximize their coverage and squeeze more value out of the rising premiums or contributions they shoulder. In practice, Health Condition Programs enable the Andy Jassy-led all-encompassing empire to grow its patient data repository by tens of millions. This offering’s coverage check involves eligibility verification, necessitating personal data collection. Enrollees must share their legal name, date of birth, employer’s name, insurer's name, email address, and other sensitive information. This will determine whether their insurance plan or employee benefits cover health programs Amazon’s partners offer. After confirming an applicant is covered, Amazon Health directs the patient to third-party digital health companies — the actual virtual care providers — to complete registration and program enrollment. While Amazon may say it stops collecting personal data after a coverage check, it may still follow patients beyond that point. This Big Tech firm is a known participant in server-to-server tracking, so I would be more surprised if it doesn’t monitor the rest of an enrollee’s telehealth journey through a backdoor. Connected devices are notable program features that covered individuals can access. Continuous glucose monitor sensors, blood sugar meters, blood pressure monitors, and smart scales generate personalized quantitative data that forms a part of medical records and is personal. This is protected health information tech conglomerates could leverage to enrich their subsidiaries. A Slowly Expanding Network As disturbing as it is to think that Amazon could acquire bits and pieces of millions of medical records under the table through its Health Condition Programs, this multinational’s reach is proportional to its network’s size. As of October 2024, only two digital health companies have participated — Omada Health and Talkspace. Omada specializes in diabetes prevention, weight management, and hypertension care, while Talkspace delivers virtual therapy and psychiatric care. Between the two, insured Americans can choose from only three programs. It’s unclear why Amazon Health could only ink two partnerships in nine months — a departure from the online retail behemoth’s “Get Big Fast” mantra. I bet telehealth providers would move mountains to be in this exclusive club, so Amazon must have been overly selective about its partners for reasons unknown. Only time will tell if Amazon will bring more digital health companies into its fold sooner rather than later. A safe guess is that it would prioritize partner diversity to prevent cannibalization and harvest data with variety. A New Piece to the Amazon Health Care Strategy Puzzle Amazon plays the long game. For all we know, it might envision itself as the savior of health care — the ultimate medical data synthesizer the sector sorely needs. It’s impossible to connect all the dots when many of them haven’t come to light. Still, recognizing this offering’s potential value to this tech colossus isn’t brain surgery. If Health Condition Programs gain currency and the number of participating digital health companies on the network balloons, the company will better understand our health needs. These insights can be the rising tide that lifts the boats in the Amazon Health sub-ecosystem and other related subsidiaries. A quick thought experiment would reveal that more program enrollees could increase Amazon One Medical’s in-person visits. Health Condition Programs almost always require a prior medical diagnosis. Health care professionals on the network — health coaches, licensed therapists and psychiatrists, nutritionists, dieticians, and personal care specialists — could help train AWS HealthScribe with large volumes of recordings. The aim would be to churn out error-free transcripts and clinical notes consistently. The company could expand Alexa’s footprint by integrating its partners’ services into the voice assistant. It’s a tried-and-true move, as evidenced by the partnership between Amazon and Teladoc Health in 2022. Prescriptions from digital health companies can also boost Amazon Pharmacy’s sales. Analyzing mountains of medical data can shed light on the usual indicators of events that can endanger patients’ lives. Tech-forward hospitals have taken this route. They proved it’s feasible to predict signs of upcoming acute events — which increase the chances of patient mortality by three to four times — early enough to address them before they happen. Amazon can do the same thing for people living with chronic diseases. It can mobilize Whole Foods to make healthier food options more widely available to those who need them most. Accessible healthy grocery items empower chronically ill individuals to meet their unique nutritional needs and keep symptoms manageable. Are Health Condition Programs a Scandal Waiting to Happen? Amazon’s venture into health care has been riddled with controversies. In 2023, hackers successfully victimized more than 19,000 PillPack customers, stealing their names, residential addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. About 3,600 of the impacted accounts included prescription information. That same year, senators grilled the company for forcing patients to waive their right to health information privacy to enroll in Amazon Clinic. In mid-2024, Amazon found itself in hot water for allegedly compromising the safety of One Medical patients. Incidents of awful misjudgments by staff assisting customers by phone have risen since the subsidiary entrusted the job to inadequately trained agents. Amazon has failed to give a good account of itself in the sector on various occasions. At this rate, I feel like someone would expose a dubious practice underpinning Health Condition Programs any moment now. Can We Trust Amazon’s Health Condition Programs? Criticisms toward this initiative are unsubstantiated and premature. However, it would be naive to expect Amazon not to supercharge its health data collection prowess through coverage checks and its partners when the alternative does nothing to improve other parts of its business. We’ll just have to wait and see whether this Amazon Health offering’s practical benefits outweigh its perceived privacy drawbacks — but let’s not hold our breaths.
