@Daojoan More prosaically, if this AI thing had anything to offer, surely we'd be inundated with feel-good stories about how it was positively impacting local communities with new initiatives that presented (warning: linkedin-like speech) a "step-change" or "cutting a Gordian knot" in terms of dealing with entrenched thinking to present novel and far-reaching solution-oriented stuff.

I don't think the Techbro holy book says THEY will build an artificial slop-extruding superintelligence (ASS) that will cure cancer. Rather, in their devotion to moving fast and breaking things, they will stumble onto some combination of code fixes and fudge factors that will let an ordinary CPU transform ITSELF into an ASS with superhuman powers.
Maybe they're including horny chatbots in the mix so the ASS can decide whether cancer or horniness is the greater problem to pursue?

Chat bots are the AI version of porn’s role in the success of videotape players

@Daojoan the pivot to horny pedophile chatbots probably makes more sense to a billionaire pedophile high on ketamine

@Daojoan the horny bots kill old men through heart attack, thus cancer loses percentage on the pie chart of death.

(Putting aside my pitiful attempts to find humor in this bizarre new world,) I appreciate your skepticism about the intentions and worldview of That Person. You've gone straight to the heart of the matter!

@Daojoan They suddenly remembered they had no interest in curing _your_ cancer.

@Daojoan They need more data on peoples' bodies in order to solve cancer, and the horny chatbots help them get that data, duh.

@Daojoan even if a cure for cancer was found, it will never be found. too many people feed off that misery to ever cure it. conspiracy theories aside, absolutely approve of the sarcasm. it may be a low form of communication, but that is why it is so accessible!
@dblHelix you cannot expect one single "cure for cancer", because there are many types of cancers and the only thing they have in common is runaway cell replication, which is unfortunately hard to distinguish from legitimate cell replication.
I don't really buy the usual conspiracies of "someone making profit on something": when better solution is found, the system can sometimes adopt almost overnight: I remember, how CRT displays were replaced by LCDs almost overnight (and by the way, it was cancer related, because you were exposed to certain radiation risk, when sitting next to the rear side of CRT....)
However, the machine learning needed to solve biochemistry challenges is probably of different type, than LLMs... and it is not just biochemistry, AI can analyze really huge datasets and find unexpected correlations of cancer cases (but again: you would have to train AI on something else, then language). We already know about pathogens in the environment, but "cure" would be about reverting damage done by these.

@Daojoan 7 billion is the estimated population of humans. Assuming half are males, i.e. 3.5 billion males. Assuming 25% of those are in the estimated age bracket who would like to have #AI girlfriends that is 0.875 million.
Now many people are afflicted with #Cancer these days?
The numbers, the economics of scale just does not compare.

No offense intended. Just giving out back of envelope numbers.

@Daojoan it's the part of you that kept typing through "I don't have an MBA" that I love, for the record.

@Daojoan Maybe they were in fact 18 months away from curing cancer 18 months ago, but they simply had too much stock tied up in pharmaceutical companies.

@Daojoan cancer is parasite CBD oil fasting can cure , it is already fixed. It is proven cancer is only survive in acidic environment. Which means you just need keep away from acidic foods stress

@Daojoan history is full of creeps and sex-pests who made major scientific discoveries. Perhaps it’s the *only* way

@Daojoan Maybe the cure for cancer is being super horny all the time
