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".
Republicans: "The vaccines were approved too quickly—they're not safe!"
Also Republicans:
Sidenote: the vaccines were based on research that had been worked on for decades.
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?
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.
Tell me you don't know how AI works without telling me you don't know how AI or drug testing works.
is he attempting to smile or laugh in that photo? it’s so disturbing.
Probably trying to look at a solar eclipse.
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.
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.
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.
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."
New Drug: Worm Eggs.
Effects: Allows worms to hatch in brain which turn populace into dumb fucks
Eligibility: Everyone, delivered at birth to stave off personal growth.
AI: APPROVED!
It's only risking people's health... What could go wrong..
Y’know whenever I hear someone talking about the tremendous benefits of turning decision-based processes over to AI, i think to myself, “Self,” i thinks, “that there is one of the stupidest motherfuckers alive today. Or a young programmer.”
Can confirm. One of those programmers is in my team.
Okay but hear me out: We replace the entire executive branch of the US government with AI. It'll be roughly as prone to making shit up as the people in charge already are, but since it's trained on data sets made by people it'll probably act more in line with what people actually want.
What the fuck is this horror show!!!!
Is that a fucking Zyn?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zyn
Swedish nicotine pouches. Very hip.
Or he just likes chewing on paper like his hero donald fucking trump
Someone who clearly brushes his teeth once a month at most.
And never flosses.
Looks like Snus
I was hoping for a cyanide capsule.
Why is this man so dead set on making the worst decisions? God…
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.
If he's so confident he and his family can take them first
Confidence without expertise is like baking a cake and saying you're not sure if there was shit in the batter.
He's disconnected from reality by his wealth and power excluding him from consequences to his actions and beliefs, and disconnect from morality by the same leading to corruption and immorality.
He's the billionaire narcissist confidently taking his sub down to see the Titanic and bringing us all down with him.
Um, maybe this is something I'm too Canadian too understand, but if you are not going to trust the experts, who are you supposed to trust?
AI and money of course. Mostly money.
What could possibly go wrong?! 😳
I believe that RFK jnr is clearly far far far smarter than the average multibillion dollar international pharmaceutical giant employed specialists. (sarcasm).
Well a whole new genre of potential apocalypses has been unlocked then
The FDA is already run by a hallucinating entity in fairness; so the impact should be less severe than other areas LLMs are introduced for decision making.
How many people are going to die before they stop that utterly stupid idea?
