I refuse to believe that’s actually truth and not some BS from a professional bullshitter like the palantir cto
They hid their smoking and now smoke openly.
It is not even a good one. Is this really the most convincing argument the CTO of one of the most aggressive tech companies can come up with? Are these people just facades because with mental skills like this I don’t think they can even run a lemonade stand. What even makes them useful, connections? Willingness to sacrifice their humanity for profit? A never ending obedience to shareholders?
I mean I fully believe they don’t understand cause and effect and that curing something down the road doesn’t prevent irreparable harm in the mean time.
Beautiful.
A lifetimes worth of fun. Guaranteed
Article quotes 1 CEO, one of their own “journalists”, and 0 labor leaders
Also he fails to name one noted in the article but they went ahead and published it anyways because fuck journalism I guess. He is lying, business insider has never been a reputable source for news
Journalism is dead at pretty much all the major news outlets. Its bought and paid for slop that maybe has a human editor if it’s important enough to the wealthy prick that paid for it.
“Sankar did not name any researchers or provide evidence for the claim.”
Cool. Excellent thing to write a news article about, Business Insider.
It’s now deleted from the website, so I guess they do have some self awareness.
Lying fuck.
Just another out to lunch article trying to hype ai and keep it on the forefront.
Cure cancer? Which type? It’s not one disease, that’s the entire problem you stupid fucks.
Lung cancer probably, just an educated guess
Which is only one of the several cancers caused by smoking, albeit a difficult one to treat.
All of them!
Taking up smoking because they expect cancer to be cured in the future is like deciding to purposely crash your car because you know that broken bones can heal
james spader was so hot in that movie
Cancer isn’t the only thing to worry about with cigarettes here’s my experience :
I quit cigarettes for the second time when COVID happened. I haven’t touched a cigarette in almost 8 years.
My sex drive was destroyed, bringing up the laundry wasnt easy, bringing my groceries up the stairs wasn’t easy, I couldn’t bike the miles I can now; My TMJ was going nuts, my breath smelt like shit, my teeth were being destroyed not just yellowing but actual tooth loss and pain, the amount of arguments that I think I spawned just to have a cigarette, the amount of emotional indifference it causes because you’re never truly dealing with anything you’re just smoking instead of dealing with whatever the fuck is going on and actually solving life problems is also fucked up.
And man are they stupidly addictive, like there’s no possible way to buy a pack of Natural American Spirits and go, “I’m only gonna smoke once a week,” trust me I’ve been there and it’s impossible to just be like “I’m only gonna do this when I…” because you will want it again and even if you don’t them, they might want you and that’s the worst.
It’s the absolute worst!!! 15$/pack too like what the fuck!!! There’s never gonna come a day where cancer research will outweigh the facts that cigarettes will destroy you. There’s over 5,000 chemicals in one cigarette too, it’s not just nicotine and tobacco, it’s rat poison and arsenics.
*covid started less than 7 years ago
2019 in December so it’s 7 this year, 8 next year.
Yes, 7+1 is 8. You didn’t need screenshots for that :)
Do you know this thing called math?
2019+7= 2026 next year it’ll be my 8th year which is 2027, 2019+8= 2027.
I quit when the pandemic started which it started in 2019, I quit in December of 2019.
I suppose my wording puzzles people sometimes.
Lots of words to not say you were off by one.
I should’ve said next December will be my 8th year of not smoking cigarettes, for this December is my 7th year of not smoking smoking cigarettes. My wording confused you probably like it did a lot of other people. I suppose it inadvertently became a word problem.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I just realized you are under the delusion that covid started in 2020 and not 2019. That’s why you keep saying I’m off by one, you’re trolling!!!
Can you really be that fucking dense? October 2026 minus December 2019 = 6 years, 10 months.

Yeah sure Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, I believe you 100%.
Become dependent on ____ and pay ____ companies for ____.
- LLMs, AI, tokens
- nicotine, tobacco, cigarettes
Do they promise? Do they also promise to never spend healthcare money on lung cancer? And will they promise to smoke far away from us so we never have to smell that s***?
Somehow I bet they won’t make those promises. Because they’re liars. Because that whole field is built on lying. Vaporware can’t make anything real, ever, than the people who actually do the software development are keenly aware of that fact.
Yeah I suspect they’re smoking because of stress and lying about why
I started self destructing since AI has slithered its way into aspects of my life that gave me a reason to exist.
Not because I think it’ll save me but because I just don’t give a shit about anything anymore thanks to it’s gross existence.
This is less “omg these guys who work crazy hours are making something incredible”
and more “these guys who work crazy hours have made up a new justification for their age-old legal stimulant addiction”
Yeah, I remember when Sergey Brin announced Google AI employees should work 16 hours a day to catch up to competition, people familiar with the industry said it’s a low bar for a FAANG AI researcher. They work themselves to death.
So many people in this thread…You’re the facebook boomer who believes every “Kids are doing [X] because if viral tiktok trend!”
(No offense to OP, this is a perfect headline for the community)
“So many AI researchers have started smoking as a way of signaling to other researchers how much they believe in AI,” Sankar said in an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
This is the first clue that’s it BS. I would like to believe that the techbros are doing it, but techbros aren’t “AI researchers.” They actually know the limits to their work. If Shyam Sankar wont name names, it’s not happening. At least not in any appreciable numbers.
I’d be more convinced if they intentionally contracted AIDS because they were confident in their slop machine.
… I still wouldn’t use their products, but I’d believe that they believe the word guesser machine might cure cancer
AIDS is already pretty much solved for people with good access to healthcare.
Ebola works too
