Palantir CTO's smoking claim about AI researchers draws mockery
Original: Le techbronazi de service affirme que "des chercheurs" en IA se mettent à fumer parce que l'AGI va guérir le cancer : ht
A claim attributed to Palantir's chief technology officer that AI researchers have started smoking because future artificial general intelligence will cure cancer is being ridiculed online. Commentators, including cancer research scientists working in AI, call the statement reckless and absurd, pointing out that smoking causes cancers that no speculative technology can undo.
Why now: The remark is seen as an extreme example of AGI hype, prompting criticism and mockery from scientists and tech observers.
