> Maybe with 10 gigawatts of compute, AI can figure out how to cure cancer.
Something I've never understood: why do AGI perverts think that a superintelligence is any more likely to "cure cancer" than "create unstoppable super-cancer"

I can see AI being helpful in generating hypothesis, or potential compounds to synthesize, or helping with literature search, but science is a physical process. You don't generally do science just by sitting there and pondering, despite what the movies suggest.
But yes, potentially in some narrow domains this will be possible, but it still only automates a part of the whole process when it comes to drugs. How a drug operates on a molecular test chip is often very different than how it works in the body.
What are the chances of advancing in AI regulation before any monumental fuck up that changes the public opinion to "yeah this thing is really dangerous". Like a Hiroshima or Chernobyl but for AI.
