The real crime is in using cancer kids to sell your product. I mean, who even does that? Even if you could cure cancer for kids, I find it incredibly tacky to go around making commercials about how you can cure cancer for kids, which aren't targeted at those who actually are in the position to use the technology, and its used to market to other tangential industries where the real money is. It's just despicable and you can tell right there its smoke and mirrors.
There's a special place in hell for anyone working at IBM or involved in the Watson project who is supporting this thing. It's damaging legitimate deep learning/machine learning industry and generally making a fool out of IBM, AND giving children with cancer false hope....just so IBM can try and stay relevant and make money?

- radarsat1 9y ago> we were actually trying to make a difference in the world not sell software. I mean, to be fair, I don't think selling software and trying to make a difference in the world are at odds with each other.
- davidreiss 9y agoKids are used by scams/charities to lure in people for all kinds of things. The latest one is the cars for kids scam which used kids to get donations and who knows what they did with it. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/Kars-for-Kids-Cars-4-Kids-Real-Estate-Investments-Investigation-140955003.html http://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/Kars-for-Kids-Cars-...
