@Daojoan I have little doubt that AI will identify new targets for #cancer therapy and the shape of molecules that can bind them;

but it cannot test them in people with the disease for safety and efficacy; that part remains challenging to even get full enrollment - the whole process taking ten years or more. (This was my field - now retired)

@lymphomation @Daojoan I don't see how a program that paraphrases things that other people have said could ever identify a new target for cancer therapy. They do not produce anything novel.

@erin @Daojoan That's a fair question.

If AI were 18 months away from solving cancer, the ones investing humongous quantities of money in it wouldn't be the big tech companies, it would be the big pharma. Which I'm pretty sure are investing on it, but not nearly as much. And it is a pie in the sky that will take at least two years to yield benefits. The number of clients would be the number of cancer patients. That's a lot of people, but fortunately not so much people.

A horny chatbox mean lots of paying clients, paying now.

Which is exactly what a company that has wasted the hugest quantity of money ever burned on a pipe dream and have investors getting impatient needs.

They're never going to get to any superintelligence by simply doing what they are doing (so, LLMs) but just with more money, more hardware, and more hype.

But they don't want any superintelligence, either. All they want is an Internet that consists of two or three platforms that the consumer never leaves, and more importantly, the ad revenue that these platforms bring in. That's it. There's nothing else to it.

I hate to always have to be the one to say it, but the fact that we have computer systems that can store tremendously more information that the human brain and access it faster and make more connections between that data and that system is not already conscious, means that the keystone idea behind emergence is wrong and superintelligence is a waste of time. If emergence forms after sufficient complexity, then explain to me why dogs are conscious and AI isn't even close to consciousness? Like there is something more to consciousness than complexity obviously. Some missing piece that eludes our current understanding of what consciousness is. This whole thing has always been a farce because they don't actually know what they are trying to create. And we don't need to spend trillions and boil the entire ocean to have horny conversations... Just pay a sex worker like a decent person. Fuck sake.
