The country has a dire shortage of nurses, so to fill the manpower gap, it’s using AI for preventive care.

  • By 2030, one in four people in Singapore will be over the age of 65.
  • Authorities see potential in AI tools to assist in preventive illness care.
  • An AI tool under development will use voice biomarkers to detect early signs of depression in seniors.

I went to Singapore to chew gum, watch porn online, be gay, have 1 gram of cannabis, and I'm all out of gum, which is good, because all of those things are illegal.

There's been one political party in power for decades. A guy went to the place where you're allowed (gee thanks) to speak freely, and then got arrested for speaking freely. You can get the death sentence for having some drugs. All male citizens have to do a year of military service.

It's a lovely place to spend a short time, but there's no way I'd ever live there.
