Fuck AI

Dumb fucks really think LLMs are the kind of AI involved in medical and scientific research.

God why do LLM comics look so fucking uncanny

Google discontinued development of alphafold, broke up the team, let many go and transferred the rest to general LLM development except for some that were moved to their vertically integrated own pharmaceutical research (to cash in on the whole value chain and lock everyone else out of their tools).

Mind you, that is the tool that got people a Nobel Prize.

Giving LLMs credit for all machine learning is problematic

Why are AI simps so fucking weird?

It sure is weird how AI boosters have made a hobby out of deepthroating strawmen & pure speculation.

generative ai? I dont think so.

Most research is done using PREDICTIVE ai not generative ai.

And no one's against machine learning, but fruit romance videos do not cancel out surveillance, inequality, and destruction of nature.

This shit can't even keep a consistent background over 4 comic panels

So where's that miraculous cure, then?

Dude, didn't you read that comic? The anti-AI psycho destroyed it. The vibe scientist probably tried to type in the same prompt again but this time the answer was in Mandarin.

Wait, these things still can’t draw hands?

Their plagiarism machine can't even consistently render that guy's desk from panel to panel. Somebody's going to trust it to make drugs?

I am pretty sure the "AI" systems making medicine aren't the same as generative AI.

Breakthroughs like this WILL come from AI. But...

1. They're not going to come from LLMs or image generating AIs.
2. They're not going to come from the numbnuts generating comics in his bedroom - they'll come from real scientists.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sheer stupidity of this comic's impression of what research is like? Middle-aged white guy wearing glasses and a lab coat in front of a computer screen looking at news (about generative (!) AI no less) and exclaiming what amounts to "Eureka". And one panel later he has the fucking cure in a syringe right in his hand, ready to pop into somebody's blood stream. The visual representation of what generative AI fanboys think research is versus what it actually is is a Venn diagram with no overlap.

I know a Doctor at an Nvidia backed biotech company that is working with generative AI to find new drug formulations to test. Allegedly they have some promising ones that are in testing. The thing is even if they are successful and the models generate a viable drug this shit won't be free. They've sunk so many billions into processing power they'll justify charging $100k a dose to pay back their Nvidia loan.

wouldn't need to use genai to fake a cancer cure if conservatives didn't gut research for cancer

Medical fields have been using machine learning successfully for years before llms caught the shit sniffing attention of vc's. Current levels of llms are like tar pits for your brain and take either hate or intellect or both to get away from.

People that advocate for llms as ai are malicious actors and literally the worst kinds of people. It's so obvious, I don't know why more of society can't see right through this shit. Like, I do know, but it's still frustrating to have to live in this wasteland of society right now, knowing how much time and energy and life force, essentially, is gonna be wasted because of whatever this fucking political cold war we're in.

Pedant here, cancer is not a disease, it's an umbrella term covering many types of diseases related to unregulated cell growth. There never will be a "cure for cancer". There will never be a "cure for breast cancer" because there are different origins of breast cancer. We may find a cure for specific types of cancers, and each of those should be celebrated.

We don't need vibe coded software or AI generated "art" and slop social media content to get to curing various forms of cancer or other diseases. No one would be upset about such a use. Instead it is being used to enable laziness, reduce our cognitive abilities, and further harm our environment while trying to make a quick buck and failing at that too.

Hopefully the AI that developed the cure isn’t the same one that drew the scientist’s hands in the third panel

But you're not using it to cure cancer. You're using it to make this stupid comic.

Generative AI would suggest fucking napalm as a cure for cancer.

The thing is that AI is a catch all term and the AI used in medicine has little to do with chat bots or generative AI in general.

It's not that GPT-10 will cure cancer when asked for it. But neural networks are good at pattern recognition so cancer detection is a promising application for example. Also, personalizing a cure is also an idea. It's not that we need a super intelligence and curing cancer is the excuse for data centers for scam bots. Medical AI is no excuse for generative AI.

Meanwhile AI Bros are reinventing "thinking" by imagining what an LLM might say to them.

how much of a loser do you have to be to believe that AI (LLM) is generating cures for diseases?

when its actually useful, sure. great. complex algorithms solving problems is nothing new. its appreciated.

when you automate everything to the point that it will kill billions of people and destroy the planet. then it becomes every humans moral imperative to skin everyone responsible and hang their corpses from the street lights as a warning to others who plan on doing the same.

Imagine how much of a fucking loser you'd have to be to waste the precious moments of your life asking a computer to make this for you.

I highly doubt AI is just spitting out "cures" , they are used as tools as it should be. Would not take medicine completely generated by AI.

AI Art is not even made with AI but with the art of real life artists mushed together and i don't even care that much but it just isn't ART in the objective sense of the word. Those AI Artists want the same admiration we have for real artists and thats just crazy.

So where's that miraculous cure, then?

Did you see the comic? The cure was destroyed by one of us :(

Ohh yes, a cure for cancer thanks to generative AI, now let's make this cure inaccessible for 99% of humanity.

Better be rich, Bernie, the cure won't be cheap.

God I hate how literally every single AI-generated comic (or at least the ones made by OpenAI's models given how damn universal its style is) have the EXACT same facial expressions. Every surprised or scared character has the exact same sort-of-horrified-but-no-light-behind-the-eyes look, any moment of true excitement, being proud, happy, etc has the same smiling-while-vaguely-staring-into-the-distance look to it, etc.

The guy BernieAsksAI making a pro AI cartoon with AI that can't draw hands (3rd frame).
The exact kind of slop so many people hate. 🤣🤣🤣
