Eh. This is to prevent recurrence, not a *cure* and definitely not to prevent cancer in the first place. Amazing progress, but we need more brains (and GPUs!) on this problem.

stop. They didn’t cure cancer. Claims of such are completely overblown

They’ve raised billions and received tens of billions in COVID windfalls so you’re not making the point you think you’re making

public funded research already gives bigpharma billions. but banger of a tweet nonetheless.

The narrative is that they have “cured cancer”. Does nobody remember their past claims? Their track record? It was just several years ago. And now we do it again and everyone claps like a seal as if their word or “science” means anything.

I still wonder how the big pharma allowed it to announce it publicly.

Replying to @mattturck
what's your point? that a pharma company is working on solving cancer and is closer to solving it than AI labs? Also maybe read up, cancer is not "solved". I am not saying give the money to AI companies, but a stupid argument is a stupid argument.

Goodbye Treatments! Hello Cures! Good job humanity. You made it. Next level!

Those individualized vaccines are probably a product of an AI powered workflow

The AI labs are the key component to the ‘personalization’ of this cancer cure. Don’t bet against AI.

Using ai. Correct. Also, no research yet.
$MRNA SOARS 177% ON NEWS OF A CANCER TREATMENT… AND THE ACTUAL RESEARCH HASN’T EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET!! No full Phase 3 data. No exact risk reduction. No survival numbers. Just a press release saying it worked. So I went digging. Here’s what Moderna actually proved and why the market just added roughly $40 BILLION. 🧵

A pump and inevitable dump for a stock does not mean we all are going to embrace thousands of data centers ....they did not cure cancer mark my words

the lads raising billions to build god just got scooped by a company everyone left for dead after covid. turns out curing cancer required running a trial, not a funding round.

The small print of most of the AI labs is that they arnt directly curing cancer. They are developing tools that they believe will be useful for biotechs to cure cancer. We use spreadsheets too, it doesn’t mean spreadsheets cure cancer

You’re not being entirely truthful are you? It’s the LLMs who are consuming billions and they had as much to do with this vaccine as I did.

Replying to @mattturck
They are not using fking LLMs you dumb fvck. AI dikriders aren't even knowledgeable.
This is exactly how AI hype turns real science into fake news. Yes, Moderna used AI and computational algorithms in this cancer program, especially to analyze tumor mutations and select neoantigens. But this is NOT a story about ChatGPT, LLMs or the recent generative AI boom suddenly curing cancer. Moderna and Merck started this program in 2016. The first patient was dosed in 2017. The technology has been developed and clinically tested for years. The actual breakthrough is personalized mRNA cancer therapy + Keytruda showing positive Phase 3 results in melanoma. That is already huge. There is no need to rewrite it as “AI cured cancer.” I am very pro AI, but pretending every scientific breakthrough happened because of today's AI hype makes the whole field look less credible. In an era where anyone can generate convincing nonsense in seconds, accurate and authentic posts will become much more valuable.

Moderna states V940/intismeran uses a series of fully autonomous, integrated AI algos. Tumor DNA&RNA are sequenced and computational models decide which mutations are most likely to generate useful neoantigens; the vaccine then encodes up to 34 of those individualized targets
