Yup, more or less. The idea is that AI is inevitable, and the only way to make sure it doesn't kill us is to be the ones to develop it—and faster than everyone else. These AI companies are full of this belief system, which has its roots in 1990s-2000s rationalism. 2.2K views · 21 likes · 5 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Vaccines do not cause breast cancer, and the amount of radiation used in mammograms is so small that the additional lifetime risk due to screening is minimal. 5.5K views · 174 likes · 36 reposts · 20 replies Open on X →

Coming from antivaxxers, every accusation is a confession. Because the creed of antivaxxers is that, a priori, vaccines are dangerous and ineffective. No real study needed. No amount of evidence can change that. No amount of scientific evidence can persuade them. 6.4K views · 157 likes · 29 reposts · 90 replies Open on X →

@gorskon Left can’t meme. Also, over 100k tweets. Are you a doctor or a ‘paid voice of science’ Remember when you idiots declared science settled? And then we find out transmission wasn’t even tested 👍 You ARE the exact enemy the left screams about. 🤫 2.8K views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
