@SneakyR0B0T @GrahamKritzer My aunt's husband borrowed my tomagotchi and promised he would return it safe and well the next day. When I got it back it was dead and I was devastated. It's only now I'm realising how weird it was he borrowed it in the first place.
I can guarantee that AI will not "cure cancer" - at least, not in any clean singular way.
Cancer is an umbrella term for many different diseases, affecting different tissues, with different pathologies and treatment pathways - each requiring different cures.
And this is before we discuss the inherent challenges faced by AI drug discovery, which are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.
This "AI will cure cancer" narrative among AI utopianists, demonstrates a mixture of overconfidence, ignorance, and naivety - about both the capabilities of AI, and the applied domain of biology that they so naively delve into.
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
“Hey, remember affordable housing? Smoking in pubs? A world pre-smartphone, pre-recession, pre-The 2 Johnnies?”

My best friend lives in a country where all their railways and airports have just been targeted and destroyed by Israel and the world seems pretty okay about it all. What kind of world do we live in?
@evilmaymoder tbh, we could probably win this whole trans culture war thing by setting up giant mouse traps in public and baiting them with harry potter dvds or something, like idk how these idiots are even capable of functioning in day-to-day life
I never understood the movie trope where no one could see a girl was stunning because of the fiendishly clever mystification trick whereby she wore glasses but my god, they all live here on this website!
These people are real!
Niall McConnell keeps getting schooled, results to editing the interaction and posts it.
He approached an African uncle on the streets to complain of immigrants, he found out quickly Uncle is at that stage of life where you don’t pretend. You call a spade a spade.
