The exact text we saved

This is the version exactly as it was saved, character for character. The SHA-256 hash below is a 64-character code worked out from that text. Run the same text through SHA-256 and you get the same code; change a single letter and the code comes out completely different. Each version also stores the previous version’s hash, which chains them together so no version can be swapped out quietly.

headline: Big tech says AI can find a cure for cancer. So where is it?
dek: Her name was June. June would be the last month she ever knew. I remember the way her bed made her so small, swallowed her up in the middle of the room, turned as it was to face the window. With her liver failing, her skin was a ghostly apricot. June – I called her Nan – had been stalked by the king of terrors, the emperor of all maladies: cancer. That son of a bitch.

The thoughts creep in as we are bombarded by artificial intelligence chief executives making bold proclamations such as “AI will cure cancer in five to 10 years” or “AI will cure cancer in our lifetimes”. Those claims stand in contrast to apocalyptic scenarios, including AI being responsible for human extinction before 2030.
