Marcus on AI
AI is supposed to change all that. But so far it hasn’t.
A new essay by Emilia Javorsky, a physician scientist at the Future of Life Institute, offers a sobering statistic:

I don’t agree with everything in the new essay, but I agree with a lot of it. The part that I agree with most is its strong objection to technosolutionism, to the kind of fantasy that if we just had the right algorithm, cancer would be magically and immediately solved. (Dario Amodei’s ridiculous claims about doubling life span in the next decade are deluded on this front.)
