Crying Wojaks React to AI-Made Cancer Vaccine for Dying Dog

Description

A pop-art style collage with four quadrants in red, blue, green, and yellow, each containing a crying Wojak ('I know that feel' meme face) with a forced smile and tears, rendered in matching color tints. Centered is a screenshot of an article from The Australian under BUSINESS > TECHNOLOGY headlined 'Tech boss uses AI and ChatGPT to create cancer vaccine for his dying dog', with the subheading 'The tale of this heartbroken tech entrepreneur, his tumour-riddled rescue dog and a cure for cancer has leading scientists astounded.' Below the text is a photo of a dark brindle dog wearing a collar with tags, standing on a paved path. The meme juxtaposes genuine emotional reaction with skepticism about sensational AI-can-do-anything journalism, a recurring theme in tech media hype coverage

The LLM didn’t cure cancer; it routed a P0 with four paws to the right human team.
@Daonifur 5mo

I read the same thing on 50 commercials and 50 web advertisements and none of them seemed to do anything
@RiedleroD 5mo

1. there is no such thing as a vaccine for cancer. 2. hey just a thought but what if they used their wealth to help humans instead of some fuckass pet?
1. @tema3210 5mo
  
  There can be, but that is literally drinking poison, targeted poison. As of curing it with vaccine - same as solving aging and mutagenesis (in direction of preservation of a current genome)
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  chemotherapy is not a vaccine. vaccines are preventive care, chemotherapy is very much active countermeasure to an already existing cancer
  
  @Daonifur 5mo
  
  How to cure cancer: use lethal poisons that are guaranteed to remove cancer. You'll never die of cancer using this method
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  ah. my b, didn't understand the joke
  
  dev_meme 5mo
  
  There’s nothing about "preventive" Most-covid definition is very vague and fits for many cures too
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  also! aging is not just degrading genome, but just … things wearing out. there's a lot of things in your body that just don't regenerate and thus gradually stop working as you age.
  
  @Daonifur 5mo
  
  Just combine DNA with a starfish obviously
  
  @tema3210 5mo
  
  Just don't combine your daughter and dog...
2. @mrYakov 5mo
  
  currently, no. but potentially, yes. Nothing conceptually stops training immune cells to detect cancer cells and kill it. It just have to be individual things
  
  @tema3210 5mo
  
  Has been demoed btw
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  the problem is that "cancer" is an abstract concept, not a concrete disease. you can't vaccinate against a concept unfortunately. you can make an ad-hoc "vaccine" of sorts that makes your immune system recognize cells of a tumor as a threat, but that requires the cancer to already be there. unless it's contagious cancer with a consistent genome (which does exist in some animals), or a really common one, you can't make a vaccine for it
  
  @blue_bonsai 5mo
  
  Or to prevent the causes of cancer.
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  yes, that one does work. most cancers nowadays are from an unhealthy lifestyle because we've more or less eliminated most other causes
  
  @Daonifur 5mo
  
  Only the known ones
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  true
  
  @blue_bonsai 5mo
  
  I don't know if that's the major cause. That surely is a factor. To which contaminants (air, food) add up, and that aren't fully preventable because of personal ignorance of how something's been treated, or yet unknown effects.
  
  @mrYakov 5mo
  
  yea, thats exactly why I mentioned that this has to be individual thing, that developed when you need it.
  
  @Valithor 5mo
  
  Cancer isn't a disease you catch, it's a defect your cells get that manifest and spread over time. The trigger to start the spread is usually cellular damage, but the exact cause that leads to the initial defect isn't always known.

  @Valithor 5mo
  
  Viruses can contribute to cancer, but having them does not imply that you have cancer, nor does cancer arise solely from their presence. Infections with viruses can introduce or promote cellular changes, but cancer typically develops only after additional genetic mutations and failures in normal cell regulation accumulate over time. The real issue is specifically detecting, repairing, or eliminating damaged cells and preventing further progression once those changes occur, which we still cannot do reliably in most cases.
  
  Егор 5mo
  
  Wrong.
3. @pdsnrc 5mo
  
  because no one would let you inject a human with an ai generated vaccine or whatever that was
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  a lot of medicine actually already uses "AI" on humans experimentally. not LLMs but other types of AI that actually have, you know, merit
  
  @chupasaurus 5mo
  
  NNs is a superset of AI, or you're talking about An Indian?😁
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  …NN is a subset of AI, not a superset
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  I mean AI isn't a well-defined term anyway, but … you know what the hell I mean
  
  @chupasaurus 5mo
  
  Depending on a definition of intelligence. Any actually learning ones could be extrapolated to a type of NN.
  
  @blue_bonsai 5mo
  
  What does it change?
  
  @blue_bonsai 5mo
  
  Reminder that during covid, vaccines were being research via computational methods, some even using distributed systems. I still remember some actors publicising a few apps that would allow to use your phone as a distributed calculation system for vaccine research.
4. @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Some are, because there are cause by vīrusus, and we can be vaccinated againts it. You as a woman should know that btw 😉
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  that's a vaccine against the virus, not the cancer. and what the fuck does me being a woman have to do with anything
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Its a vaccine against virus that specifically causes cervical cancer.
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  …hey guess what a trans woman doesn't have
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Hahahahaha, tricked me by your name. Btw men can transfer this virus from a woman to a woman, so they can also be vaccinated
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  …tricked? My pfp is literally trans colors. I have a queer flag as my status.
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Did you really just assumed a know or care about gay flags colors and shit?
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  if you don't care then don't pretend I tricked you into anything. if you don't pay attention then it's on you.
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  I could have assumed you're a dude because there are no girls in tech, would you complain more or less then?
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  maybe you should just stop assuming, hm?
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  I assume in my code all the time. I can do this all day!
@Algoinde 5mo

the dog was an indiustry plant
@tema3210 5mo

Which cancer, what was the vaccine?
@blue_bonsai 5mo

@Grok is this real?
@blue_bonsai 5mo

How to get cancer: cure yourself from cancer using poisons killing cancer between other things.
@blue_bonsai 5mo

Lol
@blue_bonsai 5mo

Don't give furries certain ideas. 😳
1. @Daonifur 5mo
  
  Can you list those certain ideas
@blue_bonsai 5mo

E.g. HPV.
@RiedleroD 5mo

is it though? my point was just to use that money for a better purpose, not necessarily chatGPT
@blue_bonsai 5mo

Isn't it the same quality?
@blue_bonsai 5mo

Not like they shoot them up out of blue inside of people anyways.
1. @blue_bonsai 5mo
  
  (unless it's Operation Warp Speed during Covid, then it's almost allowed)
Егор 5mo

When AI slop bros and mRNA crap bros ask chatgpt to write a PR article for both of them at once.
@Valithor 5mo

Radiation is the most well-known cause, but there are other things too, like incorrectly folded proteins
@Daonifur 5mo

All definitions except the top one use vaccination in their definition, so they use circular reasoning which is a logical phallacy
1. @Johnny_bit 5mo
  
  which turn them into no-definition making onthy the top one acceptable.
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  the long lost art of reading the other comments before commenting. bonk me, oh well
@Johnny_bit 5mo

Anyway - "ai assisted gene therapy" not a bad idea. But hopefuly not on general-purpose models taught on reddit posts ;)
@b7sum 5mo

english only
@RiedleroD 5mo

…the only one that doesn't rely on the definition of "vaccine" is pre-2015, which is preventative. besides, I don't care what some organisation thinks a word should mean.
@RiedleroD 5mo

I don't know enough about that to comment. I have to assume you're right
1. @purplesyringa 5mo
  
  that's how they get ya!
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  I'd look it up, but I'm doing transgender stuff rn, so
  
  @purplesyringa 5mo

  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  no, L. I hate this
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  oh, I didn't clarify: I'm getting new documents with my new name and gender on it
  
  @purplesyringa 5mo
  
  oh that sucks
@IkenieWo 5mo

We've seen way too many "cancer vaccine" nothingburgers over last 10+ years. And this shit is literally just chatgpt promo campaign
@Agent1378 5mo

Widely used at least in Europe for 10 years at least
@Agent1378 5mo

The only flag I care about lol
1. @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  …historically SPQR was never used on a flag
@RiedleroD 5mo

I love google
@Agent1378 5mo

And this too isn't used, yet
@RiedleroD 5mo

what is that. upside down omega?
1. @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Well. I support you on your transition.
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo

  Women are rarely interested in the best, largest and mightiest legion in the emperium of man!
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  …oh, warhammer? there's a billion things out there using omega, how the hell am I meant to figure that out…
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Google?
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  it was in the list of possibilities
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Thats not google thats stupid ai. Use regular old image search, better results would you get.
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  it's literally wikipedia, dickhead
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  You have to search for the flag itself not just the letter, dickhead
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  how do you think I found the article
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  and I'm not about to reverse-image search something just because you're too lazy to tell me, ffs
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Learn!

  @chupasaurus 5mo
  
  look again at the upside omega with that word in mind 😁
  
  @RiedleroD 5mo
  
  oh hahaha
  
  @Agent1378 5mo
  
  Oh yes, Custodes. Specifically made to protect Emperror himself. Great success!

brainstorming and alphafold
@imfreetodowhatever 5mo

tl;dr is this ai washing?
1. dev_meme 5mo
  
  It’s honestly not that clear
2. dev_meme 5mo
  
  That CEO in question also used Alphafold, Grok and other, totally reasonable tools
