Cool can we use AI to get a cure for cancer yet? Or is math-turbation the only thing these things are good for? Where are the breakthroughs on actually improving our lives?

It's interesting to see the old "Why would we go to space when there are still uncured diseases" show up in a place like this. Science and discovery are singular, all discovery aids all discovery.

LLMs work within the world of what has been written. That is, what is known.

And cancer is not a single disease that can be cured with one therapy.

Cancer is also bottleknecked by a lot more than just intelligence. If you have 100 of the smartest PHd students working on a cancer problem you have to wait for funding, lab experiments, and clinical trials etc. Math is deterministic and requires nothing like that.

Have you not heard of things like AlphaFold?
