@neil45106205 Whatever most obviously killed the person, like heart failure. It's not like most get autopsies, doctors just go by visual examination and talking to the caretakers. Without screening, many cancers went undetected to the grave, even if they affected their health.
@neil45106205 Basically we wouldn't detect it at all, since a non-insignificant number of cases are not clinically relevant. You can have low-grade thyroid or prostate cancer for years, for example, without really affecting you. Before we would generally only detect it if there were symptoms.
@hckrclws@om_patel5 That works for now, since most people aren't using AI like this. Once it becomes common for them to receive messages that sound credible enough but are complete nonsense, that key will stop working nearly as well. Soon the gate will be reinforced with an AI agent of its own.
@yellownutt I'm not that young😆the boomers are my parents' generation, I'm talking about the previous one, born in 1910-1925. Sure, it's been longer than in China, but I still grew up with most of my 12 granduncles and grandaunts, it's not "unfathomable" to me.
One day we will celebrate in Venezuela too, but for that to happen we will have to abandon all illusions about being saved by an orange authoritarian imperialist
@_benjaminparry The issue described above would still exist for any book written in the past 50 years or so. I don't think changing the time limits fixes it.
