Not beating those cult accusations, are they?

"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.

They should skip cigarettes and jump straight to smoking asbestos

I don't believe anything anyone from palantir has to say.

Even if you believe that, then is it also going to cure copd and pulmonary embolisms? I know this is likely just the CTO spewing bull, but 🤦‍♂️

I refuse to believe that's actually truth and not some BS from a professional bullshitter like the palantir cto

This is the biggest self own I have ever heard of. I can't believe this is real.

"Sankar did not name any researchers or provide evidence for the claim."

Cool. Excellent thing to write a news article about, Business Insider.

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.

Article quotes 1 CEO, one of their own "journalists", and 0 labor leaders

Also he fails to name one noted in the article but they went ahead and published it anyways because fuck journalism I guess. He is lying, business insider has never been a reputable source for news

Sounds like linkedinlunatics

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

Lying fuck.

Sankar did not name any researchers or provide evidence for the claim. Smoking remains a major cause of preventable illness and death, and no AI breakthrough has eliminated the health risks associated with cigarettes.

He's full of shit

Cure cancer? Which type? It's not one disease, that's the entire problem you stupid fucks.

Taking up smoking because they expect cancer to be cured in the future is like deciding to purposely crash your car because you know that broken bones can heal

Cancer isn't the only thing to worry about with cigarettes here's my experience :

I quit cigarettes for the second time when COVID happened. I haven't touched a cigarette in almost 8 years.

My sex drive was destroyed, bringing up the laundry wasnt easy, bringing my groceries up the stairs wasn't easy, I couldn't bike the miles I can now; My TMJ was going nuts, my breath smelt like shit, my teeth were being destroyed not just yellowing but actual tooth loss and pain, the amount of arguments that I think I spawned just to have a cigarette, the amount of emotional indifference it causes because you're never truly dealing with anything you're just smoking instead of dealing with whatever the fuck is going on and actually solving life problems is also fucked up.

And man are they stupidly addictive, like there's no possible way to buy a pack of Natural American Spirits and go, "I'm only gonna smoke once a week," trust me I've been there and it's impossible to just be like "I'm only gonna do this when I....." because you will want it again and even if you don't them, they might want you and that's the worst.

It's the absolute worst!!!! 15$/pack too like what the fuck!!!!! There's never gonna come a day where cancer research will outweigh the facts that cigarettes will destroy you. There's over 5,000 chemicals in one cigarette too, it's not just nicotine and tobacco, it's rat poison and arsenics.

Cancer isn't the only reason not to smoke. It's yucky and makes you stink.

Thus proving that AI bros are all fucking idiots.

Holy fuck do these guys need to be stripped of everything resembling power or control.

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

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

AI answer: “Yes, the solution is simple: do not use tobacco products.”

What utter crock of shit. How is he not embarrassed to say something so inane publicly? Is he so empty? No matter how much money you fill your suit with won't ever make you feel human.

Cancer is not one disease, dipshits. There is no single cure.

Yeah sure Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, I believe you 100%.

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.

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

Become dependent on ____ and pay ____ companies for ____.

• LLMs, AI, tokens
• nicotine, tobacco, cigarettes

The timeline on lung cancer is too long. I want faster progress.

Take up Russian Roulette.
