I can finally start taking heroin!
I trust the Philip Morris public health advisor more than I trust the Palantir CTO.
Hahahah, oh fuck I smoked a cig and now I’m sure to get cancer!
the cure to cancer is mortality.
This kind of story is generally built from quotes from like two guys that may or may not even be real or serious. Fox News does it constantly in their “what are the liberals mad about today” sections. I’m LOLing at the dingus this is based on, but I’ve got some doubts it’s happening en masse.
He’s clearly just lying. Just like every other LLM peddler trying to keep the bubble from popping
funny if true as the only answer an llm could give is “Don’t smoke” or one of many folk remedies. I’m starting to think the people working on them have no clue how they actually work. are the majority working there just prompt engineers without real technical knowledge?
Or the CEO is lying to hype his product.
Can they shoot themselves to prove that AI will cure gunshot wounds?
They are smoking because they know that 2036 looks way worse than 2026.
I’d like to see AI cure COPD.
Edit: Maybe a little bleach?
Or the work they are doing is so soul sucking they are turning to worldy vices?
Or to kill them sooner.
Reputable source you got there. Ghost archive isn’t known to me and feels like a fake site made up to discredit AI Bros.
I am not clicking that.
AI Bros don’t need anyone going out of their way to discredit them. You just have to let them speak
Ghost archive is just a mirror to circumvent the paywall on the article, which is from Business Insider. Here’s the original link: https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-researchers-smoking-ai-cure-cancer-palantir-cto-2026-10
Thank you!
You’re welcome. I can definitely recommend using one’s search engine of choice to look stuff up with 👍 Or even going straight to Wikipedia for answers.
The quote has been making the rounds this week, even if you don’t like this particular source. I think the guy is lying, but it’s still been widely reported.
