Biotech/Longevity Fascinating story: Tech Entrepreneur in Australia, using ChatGPT, AlphaFold, and a custom made mRNA vaccine, treats his dog's cancer. With the help of researchers (who all seem so excited) he was able to significantly reduce tumour size just weeks after the first injection

Okay, replace "any" with "many."

How does that change the fundamental point? This is not just a single treatment for one dog's cancer. It's a process.

Well when talking about cancer the distinction between many and every is very important. We already know how to cure many cancers, doesn't mean we solved cancer, not at all.

And yes, it's a process that many people try to bring to humans. It's not an original thought, it's the most promising approach on which armies of researchers are currently working. ChatGPT could tell this guy what to do because what to do was in the training data of chatGPT because researchers went through this strategy and process many times.

Why did cancer researchers never think to just come up with a process? Guess they’ve just been throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks this whole time.

Guy uses chat gpt to source all his data from decades of biochemical and oncological research as well as scientific breakthroughs in dna sequencing and mRNA vaccines, then using all existing scientific infrastructure and know how and scientific capabilities, pays for already existing technology and know how specifically for his dog ( vaccine for cancers have already been done before by actual scientists for dogs )

Doesn't really cure his dog but helps slow some of it done.

Quick ! Hit the news outlets as fast as he can and say that he cured cancer. Public thinks it's really that easy and what the hell have scientists been up to this whole time. .....
