Okay, you told us what it said. Now what do you think? Do you have any expertise in this field? Do you have reason to believe that an LLM has the ability to predict the future with any accuracy (and if so, why)?

If we want to hear from an LLM, we can ask it ourselves. What are you bringing to the conversation?

I felt it was obvious my post presented a deep criticism of Amodei and over-investment in LLM based technology for the purpose of curing cancer. I don’t think overexplaining the point makes for good communication when people can think for themselves.

Incase you need it explained, it is ironic that either you are a believer in AI and so trust the AI analysis here, and so should doubt Amodei’s claims, or you don’t think very much of Amodei and AI and so probably don’t trust his claims.
