@reallyoptimized No real updates needed to achieve that additional 20%. The models are capable enough today. What the models do not change, and won’t chance, is upskilling the non-expert user in knowing the questions to ask to close that gap. That is not something the models are designed to do.

The great thing about AI is it allows us to achieve about 80% of what an expert would achieve. The danger of AI is it's that last 20% can really come back to bite you.

The whole 'europoors' thing is genuinely quite baffling to me because hasn't the stereotypical American view of Europeans always been that of snotty cosmopolitans? Where the fuck did this idea that European countries are all backwards slums even come from?

So strange how people talk about this. Every public and retail building in Europe has air conditioning. It's not worth having in our homes for most people but if you want it you can get it. Not really anything to debate is there.

I asked Claude about the air conditioning debate in Europe, and it really didn’t pull any punches.

Do Europeans and Australians actually think every time an American has to go to the doctor they have to pay tens of thousands of dollars, or that paid leave isn't a thing at all in this country lol?

@96derptroll @hcf_m2h Right. Our healthcare is far superior for most, but not all. It's just we don't all get the same mediocre healthcare. America is a place for winners. Status quo is better in Europe for sure.

@96derptroll @hcf_m2h You would pay $0, wait forever, get shit care, and pay endless amounts in higher taxes. Get real. Giving birth runs $3k total with my healthcare. The difference is we are individualistic, you can get the best or the worst of everything depending on your motivation.

@reallyoptimized @hcf_m2h Yea two weeks?, but not 4-6 weeks as per European laws. $500 cool mine would cost zero. How much would it cost the uninsured? Why are people getting 10-20k bills for giving birth? 🤣

@reallyoptimized How does one calculate that? For example...didn't dozens of people drown in France trying to escape the heat yesterday? Would those drownings be listed as heat related? Cuz no one forced them to jump in the water. I genuinely didn't know this was a problem.

@Mattrify @hcf_m2h It's entirely optional to be uninsured at this point. Low wage workers get free insurance.

Matticus@Mattrify·6h

@hcf_m2h No. We don’t think every GP visit costs $10,000. We think it’s odd that the richest country on Earth has medical bankruptcies, millions uninsured, and no federal guarantee of paid annual leave. Those are real issues, not stereotypes.

@breakthrough48 Not not at all most of the time. But it can definitely get uncomfortable without conditioned air and at times it can also be dangerously hot as evidenced by people dying.

@reallyoptimized I could personally live in a world without AC. When I lived in Vegas, I kept my ac at 80. Now in Dallas, its still kept on 80. I survived a few summers in Vegas and Dallas without ac in my vehicles. How hot does Denmark get anyway??

I am sick of Americans asking why Europeans don’t have air conditioning. The first problem is that they think “Europe” is one place with one climate. How ignorant is that? Take Iceland. Newsflash for Americans - this is in Europe too. The average July high temperature is 12–15°C (54–59°F), with lows near 8–10°C (46–50°F). Scandinavia, Russia, are all similar. Would an American pay for A/C with those temperatures? So let’s talk about southern Europe. Buildings are thicker, shutters are used, the buildings are optimised for natural ventilation. Does this work in the hottest few days or weeks or the year? No. But for many it is not cost effective to put in A/C for a few days or weeks a year. And then there are the places that DO have A/C. Almost all newbuilds in southern Spain, France, Greece and Italy will install A/C. Many older buildings (especially hotels and shops) will retrofit it. I have travelled extensively in the US and I can tell you that the quality of the US air conditioning sucks. In hotels it is noisy, vibrating, poor air quality. Same in many homes. Windows often can’t be opened. How ridiculous is that? So look at your own air quality before you start criticising “Europeans”.

@LucyGoth We have lots of trains. Everywhere. The trains in Europe mostly suck, anyways. We don't use them outside of cities. And the northeast USA has excellent train networks where it matters. Americans can also afford cars...

@reallyoptimized LOL, at least we have trains. See if you clowns can keep one single line running on time. Also, the trains are running on a less tight schedule because of problems with rails and overhead lines. You want to aircondition those, genius? Enjoy Amtrak!

Europe can't keep trains running or children in school due to their inability to install basic HVAC. The refusal to demand even the most basic standards is remarkable. Is Europe this poor? Can't air condition schools or public transportation? People are dying. Embarrassing.

I'm sick of pretending like even Scandinavian countries don't need AC. Denmark had 252 heat related deaths in the summer of 2022. Per capita, this is 43 per million. The USA is 1/10 this. Average year, Denmark is still 50% higher. Even in the cold Nordics, people are dying from lack of AC.
