We are closer to making horny chatbots than a superintelligence figuring out a cure for cancer.
Actually, if the latter wins, would that super AI win a Nobel prize?
what if my kink is curing cancer?
It would probably go to whoever uses it to find the cure... And to none of the authors who wrote the data that it was trained on
That's how the Nobel prize always works. The price goes to whoever managed to cross the finishing line, not all the thousands of scientists before who conducted preliminary research.
Yeah, fair point
To be fair, a better pattern finder could indeed lead to better ways of curing cancer.
This year has just been a constant stream of examples why capitalism is stupid. Machine learning has a lot of utility in medical research. Imagine if it were deployed in such a way to benefit society instead of to maximize techbro's profit.
