This is genuinely the stupidest shit I’ve read in a little while, and I’ve read a lot of stupid shit lately.

I suppose this comes down to natural selection.

Even if I was 100% convinced that AI could cure cancer, I’d be more convinced about Big Pharma not relinquishing a multi billion dollar a year treatment industry.

This is fantastic news.

Oh great people who can’t research what cancer is are the ones researching AI.

They should do more research on what cancer is and what it is not. Cancer is not a single disease. “Cancer” is an umbrella term that is used to classify tumors with different genetic makeups. Different tumors behave and are treated differently.

Lung cancer can kill you FAST if you have a certain type of lung cancer. Smoking also causes almost half the bladder cancer cases people develop. It also increases your risk of stroke and heart problems.

Even if AI finds a cure for ‘cancer’ which it won’t, I don’t know why these people think the technology is going to be readily available for their treatment. I’m gonna state this again, these are the people working on the forefront of AI.

The real cancer was the ai researchers we met along the way (so 50% right I suppose)

So either lunch cancer is cured or these peiple die horrific deaths? Not seeing a downside really…

I heard that blowing your brains out with a .45 round cures cancer.

Pussies. They should take up heroin to prove their faith that AI will come up with a cure for heroin addiction.

Or they could believe AI will kill them sooner than cancer.

Either way, I’m not that impressed with Shyam Sankar’s rhetoric.

Maybe they all think something else is gonna kill them before they get cancer, or retire and need all that wasted cigarette money?

“A cure for cancer” is such a magical nonsense phrase. We can already cure a lot of cancers. There are tons of people living healthy lives after surviving cancer. And we know more and more about how to prevent it (like not smoking). But they want magic.

Even bigger nonsense is the claim that AI will solve global warming. We already know the solution to global warming. We’re just not doing anything with it, because of destructive business interests.

1. Create a machine that sometimes predicts the next word correctly
2. Mass psychosis

I’m OK with this. It’s kind of like rappers getting face tattoos because they’re either going to make it or die trying. I appreciate the commitment to the game.

A bit lame. If they really believed they would use something that gives you cancer quicker.
We have a bunch of chemicals that will do the trick.

AI douchecanoes: claim to be smart enough to create something capable of curing all cancers

Also AI douchecanoes: not smart enough to know that smoking also causes hundreds if not thousands of other maladies, many of them life threatening and/or crippling.

Smoking is ridiculously addictive and the NUMBER ONE lifestyle cause of death in the world, bar none, and these idiots are doing it just to go PAST all in on vibe tech 🤦🏻
