I listened to an interview with the guy who nearly cured his dog's cancer with ai and he expressed concern multiple times that going public with the story would cause the labs to cut off the ability.

Also, thanks for mentioning! I wasn't aware of this

Thanks for this. Absolutely incredible read.

I'm really hoping these new tools will empower a new generation of people. It's sad that there even needs to be a term 'citizen scientist'.

Wow, that is one of the best use cases for AI I've seen. I wonder what the cost of all that was.
What is it with the AI bros that seemingly can’t write two pages without their precious LLM doing it for them. It could be a genuinely cool story, but I’m just put off by the LLMism everywhere
Tbf in this case it might also just be that the guy talked _extensively_ over years with those LLMs, shaping language.

At least nothing tipped me off for that specific text. What did you see?

Nearly?
It greatly shrank some of the tumors but not all.
