RFK Jr. says AI will approve new drugs at FDA ‘very, very quickly’ (gizmodo.com)

"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.

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.”

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.
