The greatest argument against “solving” old-age: if 80 years old Conservatives controlling the world is bad, imagine 800 years old Conservatives controlling the world.

Parsing user input? Nonsense data coming from an API?

blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?10·3 months agoFrom south Brazil.
For something not urgent I can usually get a private GP within a week or a specialist within a month.
For something a bit more urgent, usually 1-2 hours in a private hospital, or 2-6 hours in a public one.
When going private the health insurance has always covered everything, so no cost.
Never had an emergency so I can’t say how it is.
North America, maybe. Here in Brazil most houses are brick.

30 days + a lot of holidays.
At least 2 years for sickness if I’m not mistaken.

Knowledge retrieval certainly not, as “they” know nothing besides how likely one data fragment is to appear near other data fragments.
Makes me wonder what they are doing to reach these figures.
Because I can run many models at home and it wouldn’t require me to be pouring bottles of water on my PC, nor it would show on my electricity bill.
