“We need to stop trusting the experts,” Kennedy told Tucker Carlson.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s podcast on Monday and it’s filled with the ramblings of a man completely detached from reality.
Kennedy falsely suggested vaccines cause autism, more or less endorsed the idea that Anthony Fauci should go to prison, and says that AI will allow the FDA to approve new drugs very quickly. It’s quite a mess.
These absolutely unhinged ideas wouldn’t be such a problem if this were any other fringe lunatic appearing on the podcast of a racist former Fox News host. But Kennedy happens to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a man who’s been given enormous power over America’s entire healthcare system thanks to Donald Trump.
What could possibly go wrong?! 😳
That sentence is everything wrong with the world.
That fucking sentence did it for me. Jesus this can be anymore like a 1984 prequel. Orwell was prescient.
At this point I’m not going to be looking to the US institutions for medical recommendations. I’ll be looking at Canada and the UK.
And I’m fortunate enough to be day trip range to canada, so as long as the border stays open I’ll be able to get vaccines.
Every day, I see headlines that make me wonder how The Onion hasn’t gone out of business.
I mean, how do you even compete?
Why is this man so dead set on making the worst decisions? God…
Me, a retail health care consumer: “Are we talking about preventative treatments like vaccinations? Or mild narcotics like marijuana? Or contraceptives, like Plan B?”
RFK Jr: “Arrest that man.”
How many people are going to die before they stop that utterly stupid idea?
Well a whole new genre of potential apocalypses has been unlocked then
I asked Copilot if my new medication that cures 100% of pancreatic cancer by giving 100% of the patients liver cancer would be approved, and it told me that it would receive ‘conditional approval’. So, that’s good.
Just what we need another dumbfuck mixing chemicals to ki… er cure us
If you forget for a second about all the deaths and suffering this ghoul is responsible for, you have to admit this is very funny
Ghoul is the correct term.
So far I haven’t seen AI that can affect real world physical objects which is a significant part of testing. I have a few guesses… Either he has a bunch of pull-shit he wants to sell that would never be FDA approved, he took a lot of money from AI companies, he thinks that AI these is like Star Trek and shit, or he’s a fucking idiot. My guess is that it’s a combination of all of these.
Depends if the AI is LLMs or task specific protein folding. How AI Revolutionized Protein Science, but Didn’t End It
task specific protein folding
Gives you a model that can be tested in clinical trials. It doesn’t give you the results of clinical trials.
They’re the same. Just trained on different data.
No no. Protein folding is very different to attention mechanisms
Yes they are. AlphaFold in particular is designed in the same way as Stable Diffusion and all of the other drawing AIs and also uses transformations like llms. Protien structure is just another form of language using atomic elements and electromagnetic potentials as its rules.
They are only equivalent in the sense that both have an algorithm that is trying to find an optimal value in a solution space.
No. They’re built and based on the exact same technology and methodology

We found that using ChatGPT and Bard provided an excellent starting point to learn these unfamiliar concepts
Ha ha ha. Can you read. This article does not relate the two methodologies at all.
is he attempting to smile or laugh in that photo? it’s so disturbing.
Probably trying to look at a solar eclipse.
I’m sorry, he wants to trust algorithms known to make shit up, over scientists who get paid by big pharma to lie? /s
scientists who get paid by big pharma to lie?
Low key, unironically. The FDA has a disturbing history of approving certain medications and treatments before they’ve been safely tested and restricting certain medications and treatments because they’re politically polarized. Elon’s brain chip keeps getting ignored by regulators. Weight loss drugs and smoking alternatives keep getting special treatment. Meanwhile, mild narcotics and modern contraceptives are constantly bottled up by partisan regulators.
The joke of all this is RFK Jr effectively doubling down on the politicized system under the cover of “Computer Said So”.
