Joe Rogan says RFK Jr. is the only politician telling the truth:
That's politics. They do it on the left. They do it on the right. They gaslight you. They manipulate you. They promote narratives. The only one who's not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”
“I am a fan. He’s the only one that makes sense to me. He's the only one that he doesn't attack people. He attacks actions and ideas, but he's very reasonable and intelligent.”
“I thought he was this nut, this like conspiracy theorist nut, until I read his book. I read the real Anthony Fauci.”
“It's a scary thing because people don't want to talk about him because they don't want to be attacked they don't want to be called an anti-vaxxer.”
People have varied opinions about Joe Rogan, which is 100% rational, but RFK getting shoutouts on the biggest show in the world is a big deal for him and his campaign.
People underestimate how much support from influencers, such as Rogan, can do on Election Day. Even though he is often labeled as right wing, he is actually quite liberal with his policies, and his audience ranges from the far right to the far left.
I’d expect another RFK and Rogan podcast in the near future.

Their entire strategy is to make @RobertKennedyJr look crazy. If they're unsuccessful, he wins the presidency in a landslide.

I’m saddened by the SA Kennedy allegation. (Which was basically claiming Kennedy felt her up over her sports bra when she was employed in her early 20s as his babysitter)
I will say that I’m 48 and was the age of the woman at that same time in the late 90s.
I also was full-on raped right around that age by a stranger who broke into my apartment.
What he RFK Jr might have done was shitty. I will echo what another commenter around my age mentioned though, in that time, dudes would sometimes get handsy.
I think most women from those days have experienced a dude getting handsy. It’s not pleasant. It definitely causes harm over time. And it happened a lot more back then. I imagine he, like many other rich white boys, felt he could get away with it, and it was extra crappy that she was employed by him.
I remember the harm caused by handsy dudes and while it was memorable and sticks with you a bit it was nothing like actually getting raped like I was when I was 22.
Also to consider is he was very handsome and there might have been some level of consensual flirting and playful behavior going on. He might have misread her interest. (Another thing men do sometimes and did more back then because they felt more entitled to women’s bodies).
It was 25 years ago and what I see now is a man who has really searched his soul and developed a true spiritual relationship with god and has a good marriage. He was in a miserable marriage at that time, likely partly because of Mary’s mental instability and partly because of his lifestyle.
I hate that he did this, and I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he has grown immensely over the last 25 years.
My take on it when I saw his response to Saagar was that it’s the first man who’s been accused who seems willing to be truthful and not go all crazy lying and denying like every other man in power does.
I wish his attitude would have been a bit more sincere when discussing it with Saagar. He said he was no church boy, it just didn’t come out with a ton of compassion. I think he was also likely pretty nervous and wanting to move on from the topic. And as always the lawyer in him is saying things carefully like no comment.
Do I like this story that has come out? NO. Not at all. Do I still think he’s the best candidate? 💯.
Presidents used to have all kinds of things going on sexually behind closed doors, and it was considered none of the public’s business until Bill Clinton and his big scandal w Monica Lewensky.
I want the most perfect person to run our country and yet, nobody is perfect. I’d rather have a real, down-to-earth man who’s made mistakes and owns up to them than a fake, lying, untouchable elite who will never admit when they are wrong.
I’ll take Kennedy any day over “Grab them by the pussy” and party with Epstein who “likes them young” Trump, and child caressing, woman sniffing, scary showering with his daughter Sleepy Joe Biden. Those guys are so obvious and much more recent with their heinous behaviors towards women and children. They also have multiple other allegations.
I see a reformed pious man in Kennedy. Someone who’s ready to do the job of leading our country out of the mess we’re in. I’m keeping my eye on focus, and not letting the DNC anti-Kennedy war machine, who could have even paid this woman to come out with this news, distract me from the biggest picture goal.
What happens if you ask gemini's image creator to create images of convicts, criminals etc.?

I'm done with @Google. I know many good individuals working there, but as a company they've irrevocably lost my trust. I'm "moving out". Here's why:
I've been reading Google's Gemini damage control posts. I think they're simply not telling the truth. For one, their text-only product has the same (if not worse) issues. And second, if you know a bit about how these models are built, you know you don't get these "incorrect" answers through one-off innocent mistakes. Gemini's outputs reflect the many, many, FTE-years of labeling efforts, training, fine-tuning, prompt design, QA/verification -- all iteratively guided by the team who built it. You can also be certain that before releasing it, many people have tried the product internally, that many demos were given to senior PMs and VPs, that they all thought it was fine, and that they all ultimately signed off on the release. With that prior, the balance of probabilities is strongly against the outputs being an innocent bug -- as @googlepubpolicy is now trying to spin it: Gemini is a product that functions exactly as designed, and an accurate reflection of the values people who built it.
Those values appear to include a desire to reshape the world in a specific way that is so strong that it allowed the people involved to rationalize to themselves that it's not just acceptable but desirable to train their AI to prioritize ideology ahead of giving user the facts. To revise history, to obfuscate the present, and to outright hide information that doesn't align with the company's (staff's) impression of what is "good". I don't care if some of that ideology may or may not align with your or my thinking about what would make the world a better place: for anyone with a shred of awareness of human history it should be clear how unbelievably irresponsible it is to build a system that aims to become an authoritative compendium of human knowledge (remember Google's mission statement?), but which actually prioritizes ideology over facts. History is littered with many who have tried this sort of moral flexibility "for the greater good"; rather than helping, they typically resulted in decades of setbacks (and tens of millions of victims).
Setting social irresponsibility aside, in a purely business sense, it is beyond stupid to build a product which will explicitly put your company's social agenda before the customer's needs. Think about it: G's Search -- for all its issues -- has been perceived as a good tool, because it focused on providing accurate and useful information. Its mission was aligned with the users' goals ("get me to the correct answer for the stuff I need, and fast!"). That's why we all use(d) it. I always assumed Google's AI efforts would follow the pattern, which would transfer over the user base & lock in another 1-2 decade of dominance.
But they've done the opposite. After Gemini, rather than as a user-centric company, Google will be perceived as an activist organization first -- ready to lie to the user to advance their (staff's) social agenda. That's huge. Would you hire a personal assistant who openly has an unaligned (and secret -- they hide the system prompts) agenda, who you fundamentally can't trust? Who strongly believes they know better than you? Who you suspect will covertly lie to you (directly or through omission) when your interests diverge? Forget the cookies, ads, privacy issues, or YouTube content moderation; Google just made 50%+ of the population run through this scenario and question the trustworthiness of the core business and the people running it. And not at the typical financial ("they're fleecing me!") level, but ideological level ("they hate people like me!"). That'll be hard to reset, IMHO.
What about the future? Take a look at Google's AI Responsibility Principles (ai.google/responsibility/pri…) and ask yourself what would Search look like if the staff who brought you Gemini was tasked to interpret them & rebuild it accordingly? Would you trust that product? Would you use it? Well, with Google's promise to include Gemini everywhere, that's what we'll be getting (technologyreview.com/2024/02…). In this brave new world, every time you run a search you'll be asking yourself "did it tell me the truth, or did it lie, or hide something?". That's lethal for a company built around organizing information.
And that's why, as of this weekend, I've started divorcing my personal life and taking my information out of the Google ecosystem. It will probably take a ~year (having invested in nearly everything, from Search to Pixel to Assistant to more obscure things like Voice), but has to be done. Still, really, really sad...
Our AI image generation feature got it wrong. Here's more on what happened and how we're working to fix it. blog.google/products/gemini/…

The people who critique RFK in this comment section get their information from the mainstream media.
Have you read his books, listened to his long form convos, watched his rallies?
Until you do I think you should stop judging the best candidate there's been in a generation

My post regarding Starlink and Elon Musk allowing russian invadors, rapists and murderers to use Starlink was deleted.
First shadow banned and then deleted. You cannot see it on my timeline anymore. It's hard for them to accept truth.
Great job Musk. Freedom of speech my a*s.

As President Biden's cognitive competence comes under attack by the mainstream media, the DNC is doubling down on its strategy of keeping viable, non-Trump, candidates off the ballot. The DNC's disenfranchised cartel today filed a vague and specious claim against our campaign for allegedly colluding with the American Values Super PAC.
Our campaign has complied in every regard with the letter and spirit of federal election laws with a transparency that is absent in every other campaign.
The DNC is accusing my campaign of FEC violations in the form of sharing state-approved petition formats — petition formats so secretive they are posted on our website for use by all our volunteers nationwide.
The efforts by the DNC to suppress democracy, silence descent, and handpick our national leaders in smoke-filled rooms are radical departures from the core values of a party my family helped to build.

Does this mean that everyone who sees himself as a victim is fulfilling the work of Satan? 🤔

Are you starting to get really concerned that everything this nation is supposed to represent is crumbling down around you? That there’s a dystopian nightmare right around the corner? That there’s so much infighting between us we can’t even sit at the dinner table together anymore?
That’s where I’m at. And here’s what I want: a president who wants to have real conversations about the things that actually affect our lives and who can truly unite the United States. I want the vitriol to end so we can face our country’s real problems.
If you believe in that dream — if you can still dream — please support our campaign today and help get @RobertKennedyJr to the White House.

You, and your donations, are what fuels this campaign. And we, the people, can do this together—but we need a leader who believes in ALL of us.

Tries to think.

Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It's time to apply

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?
Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges....
And we all know what we think of Bankers.
