I'm okay with that. I'd rather he spend every minute with her then waste his time trying to tech bro a solution.
It's even more disappointing to see the focus is LLM bullshit. He's not reaching out to current experts in the field to provide his expertise or funding, unfortunately he decided the best approach is, in my opinion, the most ludicrous approach. LLMs can synthesis huge amounts of knowledge, if it's useful a domain expert is using it to its full advantage.
My opinion is that LLMs are trash at generating any useful hypothesis beyond standard single degree ideas that anyone in the field would have.
I'd gladly eat my words. Maybe this post will be looked back on like the Dropbox comment. If LLMs could do such wonders, we would be entering a golden age.
> but you're also not considering what she thinks, feels or wants.
Im doing exactly that! I don't want her to see her partner be consumed by an endless and most likely fruitless quest.
Worst case scenario is what, he spends time with her? Oh the horror.
A hundred years ago he would be at church praying to god for a cure every day. He has replaced that with AI, the effect is the same. Looking for a solution/cure for when medicine has failed.
not to mention that "failed" implies that somehow death is not part of life. sure, going when we prefer would be better, and our descendants eventually will have this in some shape or form (digital uploads and backups and whatnot), but for now we have what we have.
