Gary Marcus Calls AI Vaccine Claim Horseshit
Gary Marcus criticizes claims linking AI and data centers to mRNA cancer vaccine.
Gary Marcus labeled a post about AI creating a cancer vaccine as halfway between horseshit and propaganda. He stated that AI did not create the vaccine and that the kind of AI involved did not require a data center. Garry Tan retweeted a separate post asserting that AI helped create a cancer vaccine while data centers lower property taxes and revitalize towns. An experimental mRNA vaccine showed success against melanoma recurrence in late-stage trials according to one summary in the packet.
AI helped create a cancer vaccine. Data centers are lowering people’s property taxes, revitalizing dying towns by flushing them with revenue, and…helping power the infrastructure to cure cancer. Every data center hater should explain why any costs outweigh those benefits.
