I think people very much should care about who ends up owning these solutions. The person or entity that controls things like that just has more power, which isn’t necessarily a good thing
- SamPatt 9d agoIt is a good thing when it didn't exist before and it does exist now and wouldn't have existed without them. If they profit immensely from curing cancer, good.
- ryan_n 8d agoAnd if they decide they are in charge of determining who gets this cancer cure and who doesn’t? Still good? Maybe it is, idk, you may be right. But I think it’s something people should care about.
- SamPatt 6d agoI don't see how it's different from what we have now? Expensive cancer treatments already exist and are rationed by the companies who create them, then over time become more widely available. If AI companies create better treatments they'll offer them to people who pay for them. So wealthier people will have better cancer treatments. If they can make them inexpensively, then a broader audience also gets treatment. Eventually they lose IP rights and they become generics and the world gets better cancer treatments. In all scenarios having them find better treatments benefits humans with cancer more than if they didn't. I don't like trusting any organization, corporate or governmental, with control over people's lives, but it's obvious that we're not going to get cutting edge medical treatments without these organizations.
