Just learned that chemo drug production in India has been severely disrupted due to the cost of raw platinum shooting up thanks to demand from the AI tech industry.
Gen AI is pretty much a death cult at this point- from environmental destruction to art theft to displacement, and now this. Wtf man.
To add context as to why pharma co.s in India aren’t inclined to keep producing these drugs is because India has medicine pricing limits. The main solution for now could be that the govt subsidises the platinum supply cost for the pharma co.s. As of now, people are scrambling for life saving meds.
