Palantir's chief technology officer has said that some AI researchers began smoking as a way of showing their conviction that cancer will be cured, framing it as an extreme display of confidence in coming medical breakthroughs. The remark, reported via Japanese-language finance coverage, has drawn attention and mockery online, with commenters riffing on the absurdity of the gesture.
Why now: The claim that researchers would smoke to prove faith in curing cancer is startling and counterintuitive, sparking disbelief and debate.
