„Ce? Asta nu are niciun sens!” | Cercetători AI s-au apucat de fumat, fiind siguri că aceasta va găsi leacul pentru cancer

Some AI researchers reportedly started smoking to demonstrate their confidence in technology, believing AI will eventually find a cancer cure. Shyam Sankar from Palantir made this claim during a CBS News interview, surprising journalist Margaret Brennan. He explained that these researchers are so confident in AI's potential that they metaphorically 'bet all their chips' on it. However, he did not provide evidence or details on how widespread this behavior is. Sankar criticized the exaggerated faith in artificial general intelligence (AGI), describing it as a 'collective psychosis' and a 'social illusion.' He emphasized the need to focus on practical questions regarding AI's impact and safety, rather than idealistic beliefs. While AI has applications in medical research, it does not guarantee a cancer cure and smoking remains a significant health risk.
