this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

Key Takeaways
What the community is saying — both sides
Supporting
1
AI is turning biotech into a tool anyone can use
the recurring story: no degree, a chatbot, ~$3K and a DIY mRNA vaccine halving a dog’s tumor. Replies celebrate that "you can just do things" and promise rapid, grassroots medical innovation.
2
Regulation is the biggest immediate threat
several replies warn that politicians and laws (e.g., proposed NY rules) could criminalize asking AI medical questions or otherwise choke off access, turning breakthroughs into administrative limbo.
3
Big Pharma and the medical gatekeepers are being vilified
many replies argue the industry prefers chronic customers over cures, and that centralized institutions will resist decentralizing cures for profit and control reasons.
4
DIY / decentralization + pet market will explode
people see fast adoption via pets, offshore clinics, and garage biohacking: a clear consumer market (owners will pay), plus lower-red-tape countries moving faster.
5
Traditional expertise is being disrupted
experts who relied on expensive tools are “gobsmacked”; replies stress that access to tooling — not mystique — created previous barriers, and that those roles will change or become obsolete.
6
Two competing paths to scale: work within the system or sidestep it
some call for funding startups to partner with regulators, push "Right to Try" and fast-track approvals; others push open-source, decentralized approaches and warn against letting institutions lock innovation down.
Opposing
1
Big Pharma will suppress or neuter any cheap cure
many replies argue the industry’s profit motive means cures get buried, delayed or monetized rather than widely deployed.
2
mRNA is unsafe or discredited
a large strand of reaction rejects mRNA tech outright, calling it dangerous, linked to harm, or permanently tarnished by COVID vaccine controversies.
3
The dog anecdote doesn’t prove anything
critics say it’s likely coincidence, spontaneous tumor regression, or an unconvincing human-applicability story rather than scientific evidence.
4
Regulatory, patent and cost barriers block translation to humans
commenters point to ethics approval, clinical trials, patent lawsuits and prohibitive pricing (estimates like ~$300k) as practical roadblocks.
5
This could be propaganda or a PR play for mRNA
some see the piece as an attempt to rehabilitate or market mRNA technology rather than a rigorous breakthrough.
6
AI and gatekeepers will be used to stop DIY cures
several replies predict tightening rules on chatbots/AI medical advice and efforts to keep “peons” from bypassing institutions.
7
Alternative cheap treatments are being promoted
a subset insists on existing, inexpensive regimens (e.g., ivermectin + fenbendazole + fasting) and accuses mainstream medicine of suppressing them.
8
Prevention and lifestyle over techno-solutions
some responses call for diet, exercise and public-health measures instead of expensive biomedical fixes.
9
Conspiratorial and hostile reactions
a minority pushed extreme narratives (bioweapon fears, antisemitic accusations, claims of deliberate suppression or retaliation), reflecting deep distrust rather than evidence-based critique.
10
Supportive but cautious voices
a few defend the story as plausible or noteworthy (noting collaboration with scientists, reported tumor shrinkage), while still acknowledging human translation isn’t guaranteed.

Makes you realize how evil big pharma is. Can't wait for the entire healthcare industry to be replaced by AI tbh

You’re mistakenly concluding that Big Pharma gives a fuck about patient health and ‘curing’ anything Of course they’re not working on it Human sickness is their recurring revenue model Why the fuck would they give that up? They’re literally disincentivized from doing so

@PxlHulk
the problem is that the industry isn’t incentivized to drive cost down…

Things like this are why NY is trying to ban AI from delivering medical/legal/etc information. Can’t have the peons fixing problems themselves.
