plot twist: AI does develop a cure for cancer, but the only way to get it is to pay millions of dollars for the cure because it’s owned by the richest people in the world, and they don’t want “filthy poor people” to have access to it.
That’s all right I’ll just wait for the open source version. The open source communities usually about six months behind the frontier models anyway.
“[Describes current reality]. Can you even imagine such a hypothetical distopia?”
This is reality.
Palantir CTO tells CBS News’ “Face the Nation”
Big if true. They’re taking up smoking very likely due to the stress they’re facing where the line must go up. I’d soon trust Sauron than any CO from Palantir.
Even if cancer had already been entirely cured, that still wouldn’t make me want to take up smoking.
-
The cure is likely to still be at least somewhat invasive and unpleasant. Even if it’s just a matter of a single injection or something, I’d still prefer to avoid that.

I don’t want my clothes and all my belongings to be coated with a brown sheen of tobacco miasma.
-
I enjoy having 100% of my lung capacity available.

Cigs are expensive.
90% chance this guy is simply lying about this and talking out of his ass.
10% chance that he’s got some employees who are so sycophantic and eager to prove their dedication that they’ve actually done this as a stupid way to try and impress their boss.
0% chance that anyone has actually started smoking solely because they’re sure AI will cure cancer soon.
Yeah and there’s still COPD and emphysema. The thought of not being able to properly exhale and instead only continually inhale is terrifying. I smoked for about 15 years, finally quit 20 years ago and will never touch another!

Nope it’s cause they are not allowed to sleep
I am sorry, you are correct. Trying to swallow a cactus does not in fact cure smoking-induced throat cancer. I messed up. I should not treat the US Department of Health as a reputable source of medical advice. Do you want me to research uses of Ivermectin to threat throat bleeding?
Honestly. Bet. All AI evangelists should start chain smoking three packs a day to really show their confidence in AI curing smoking related diseases!
Follow your dreams! Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
Cuba already made a cure for lung cancer.
Once again, right idea, wrong target.
Damn thats goated, less than $1 per shot to produce too. Cant wait for it to get to the US and cost $3000 for one shot
“early results to date have been in relatively small, early-stage trials with patients that were carefully selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and given specialized oncology care; they may therefore not be representative of most patients who might benefit from the vaccine.”
No, this is not a cure for lung cancer.
Snake Oil Salesman Gives Thaddeus a Miracle Cure | Fallout
imagine a vibeslopped cancer cure that causes your toes to constantly fall off and regrow or something and they don’t know why or how to fix it.
In this timeline, it would probably grow you a nice 6-fingered hand.
The prophecy has been fulfilled.
Imagine the cure never comes and then AI denies their medical treatment plan. It’s not going to happen (because there’s no way this is true), but it would be funny.
I’ve read biohacking is the next big thing.
[X] Doubt
No they are doing it because their brain goes well on nicotine.

I guess it was just a matter of time for Big Tobacco to get in on the AI propaganda train
Might I suggest unfiltered 100s to speed the process along
I don’t believe the story. It’s another AI myth designed to distract us.
