    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

      “So many AI researchers have started smoking as a way of signaling to other researchers how much they believe in AI,” Sankar said in an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

      This is the first clue that’s it BS. I would like to believe that the techbros are doing it, but techbros aren’t “AI researchers.” They actually know the limits to their work. If Shyam Sankar wont name names, it’s not happening. At least not in any appreciable numbers.

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

      Cuba developed a lung cancer vaccine way back in 2015. The US began clinical trials in 2016, which are now in Phase II development as of 2023. I don’t think it’s crazy to say that we will make lung cancer a treatable condition in our lifetimes.

      But that’s not going to save you from the rapid onset aging, the yellow fingers, the foul breath, the ridiculous expense of modern cigarettes, or the fact that they taste like shit.

      Take up Russian Roulette.

      There’s still a five-in-six chance nothing happens. Cigarettes make you disgusting to be around 100% of the time, guaranteed.

      America is the home of Gun Care and Health Control, so it makes sense to put the emphasis on Russian Roulette, which has the added advantage of honoring the 2nd Amendment.

    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
