    You know what? I like this.

    In the best case, AI really does simply “cure cancer” and they have their day. In all of the more likely cases, we get to watch them try to quit in a few years while looking like the idiotic ego cases they are.

    Too bad smoking has more negative health impacts beyond just cancer…

    Yuck, smoking cigarettes is stupid and egoistical even if you don’t get cancer from it. And it looks like the people in these companies really do believe their own propaganda.
