Just because he's said equally bonkers things in the past doesn't make this bonkers.

You might not be, but I'm certain that the CEO of Eli Lilly, the 4th largest biomedical firm in the world, knows more about what it takes to cure diseases than the leader of the Claudebot cult does.

The CEO of Eli Lilly might know about what it takes to cure diseases today, and he can speculate on the way current AI can assist them.

He cannot see the future anymore than Amodei can to predict what AI will be capable of in 5-10 years.

As for Gary Marcus, that guy clearly couldn't even predict one year ahead.

AI is not going to cure cancer in 5-10 years.

If there's a prediction market on this, I want to take the AImaxxers' money.
