What They Said

“…the curing diseases thing, I'm kind of tired of. And I say this only because that feels like such a crutch that Dario and everyone just keeps falling back to just to be like, guys, please like us. We'll cure disease. We haven't outlined any possible way of like any concrete things that actually are going to get us there, but you should like AI because it's going to cure disease…” — Ranjan Roy, Big Technology

Alex Kantrowitz had just laid out three possible outcomes for AI: it works and it is good, it works and it is bad, or it does not work. Roy pushes back that the data-centre financing story is independent of all three, then breaks off to object to the framing itself. His complaint is not that curing disease is impossible but that it keeps getting offered as a reason to like AI with no concrete route to it attached.
