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

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

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

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

Lying fuck.

I’d be more convinced if they intentionally contracted AIDS because they were confident in their slop machine.

… I still wouldn’t use their products, but I’d believe that they believe the word guesser machine might cure cancer

So many people in this thread...You're the facebook boomer who believes every "Kids are doing [X] because if viral tiktok trend!"

(No offense to OP, this is a perfect headline for the community)

They might as well just die, after all god-grok will resurrect them right?

Natural selection was somewhat curbed with modern science advancement. I'm glad* to see it making a comeback.

* actually no, that's terrible

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

Take up Russian Roulette.

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

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

One of the funniest things I've read in a while.

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.

But is AI going to cure addiction as well?

Smoke it up friend, really knock yourself out.

"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.

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

Do they promise? Do they also promise to never spend healthcare money on lung cancer? And will they promise to smoke far away from us so we never have to smell that s***?

Somehow I bet they won't make those promises. Because they're liars. Because that whole field is built on lying. Vaporware can't make anything real, ever, than the people who actually do the software development are keenly aware of that fact.

Become dependent on ____ and pay ____ companies for ____.

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

Carry around plutonium cowards.

How to start a vice and turn it into a marketing stunt

This industry Darwinning itself would be an amazing way for it to end.

This is less "omg these guys who work crazy hours are making something incredible"

and more "these guys who work crazy hours have made up a new justification for their age-old legal stimulant addiction"

What're the chances of convincing them to take back up Radium as cure all, since the cancer they'll get will totally be cuted hy AI anyway ? We might be able to solve this whole AI issue in a few years

Not beating those cult accusations, are they?

Smoke more you pieces of shit

This is fantastic news.
