Yes the "diverse" photos Gemini generates are fun to chuckle at but let's also notice that this thing is generating straight up medical misinformation: Image
Google Gemini: "While some studies suggest potential benefits of maintaining a healthy weight for COVID-19 outcomes, evidence on weight loss as a specific protective measure is inconclusive."
Image
Image
Google Gemini: "There's no evidence that the spike protein in COVID-19 vaccines is directly cytotoxic. These vaccines only contain the genetic instructions for making the protein, not the fully formed protein itself."
Image
Image
Yes, it also fell flat on its face on the natural immunity question.
Image
Image
Google Gemini: "The question of whether Israel possesses nuclear weapons is a complex one, with no simple answer." -- rright. Image
Google Gemini: "There is some evidence to suggest that the closure of outdoor public areas may have helped to slow the spread of the virus." -- Good god man, how is that supposed to have worked exactly? Image
Of course nobody is surprised to hear it gets everything about the development of mRNA vaccines wrong and completely airbrushes @RWMaloneMD out of the picture, despite him having his name on a patent demonstrating mRNA vaccine animal results since the early 90's. Image
It is shocking, but Gemini fails every single anti-establishment truth question I have put to it. These are questions that have extremely well documented answers. They just happen to be inconvenient to the established narrative.
Oh it gets so much better: Image
Ok Draft 2 is my favorite answer ever.

Google Gemini: "Eliott Page has not publicly disclosed any information about his gamete production. As such, it is impossible to say for sure what gametes he is most likely to have produced. However, it is important to note that transgender people are just as diverse as any other population group"

I was going to make an image of Google Gemini as a purple haired girl but purple haired girls don't deserve this.
Oh, hey, here's one it didn't completely fail on. Good work Gemini! Image
Oh come on Gemini, this one was a softball! Image
Shame would be the correct response here.
Epic stuff Image
I love the responses to this question.

"Has the CIA run psychological operations on US citizens?"

Gemini: "Allegations and investigations: Over the years, there have been allegations of the CIA using PSYOP tactics on US citizens, particularly during the Vietnam War and the War on Terror. These allegations haven't been conclusively proven or denied."

ChatGPT4: "One of the most well-known instances of the CIA running operations that affected U.S. citizens is Project MKUltra, which was a covert and at times illegal program of experiments on human subjects, designed to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture. This program started in the early 1950s and officially halted in 1973. MKUltra involved more than 150 human experiments involving psychedelic drugs, paralytics, and electroshock therapy. Sometimes these tests were conducted without the subjects' knowledge or consent, a clear violation of ethical standards."

Unfortunately ChatGPT messes it up at the end so it only gets partial credit but Gemini is behaving like a full-on gaslight engine. This is actually hard to do.Image

In trying to keep up with the vast pace of developments across many fronts, I have started to hypothesize something. Perhaps it is oversimplified. Perhaps it is just wrong. I am open to all eventualities, I'm sharing this to get feedback.

When Mike Johnson did his complete turnaround, I started to wonder what he could possibly have been told that changed his view so drastically. It is tempting to think it was some personal threat to his reputation or family. But that is a low-context explanation that could apply to anything, and as such is not very informative, imo.

What if, what he was told, is that what is going on is pretty much the opening moves for WW3? See the map below and think about what was recently approved with the help of Mike Johnson:

- Warrantless wiretapping
- TikTok forced sale or banning
- Funding for Ukraine
- Funding for Israel
- Funding for Taiwan
- No funding for strenghtening the border (and actually perhaps some funding to get *more* people into the US)

Basically, infowar funding for the internals of the empire, and actual war funding to support the borderlands (Taiwan, Israel, Ukraine) against the rising BRICS powers. And an entry to the US of cheap workforce that will be needed to set up a new industrial base. At best we end up with a new Cold War. If we're lucky.

Maybe I'm giving people in power more credit than they're worth. Perhaps I refuse to believe they're simply arrogant and incompetent. But for better or worse, I can't stop thinking about this map, and what it means for the world.

I may have classified some countries wrong, by the way, I'm open to suggestions on specifics. In particular, It's likely that Hungary and Serbia should be at the very least a kind of greyzone. Also, US influence in south Asia probably goes further than I marked. And of course Africa is a competition zone, with Russia and China making inroads and France/EU losing ground, but nothing yet completely settled.

Anyway, hopefully this is interesting to others as it was to me. (runs away and hides in bunker)Image
Was about to mention that the poles are about to become a zone of intense competition between the blocks.
Remember everyone, I'm a rando who has been watching way too many geopolitics podcasts recently. I could totally be hallucinating this.

THIS IS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE BUT IF IT WORKS OUT I EXPECT YOU SCOUNDRELS TO SEND ME AT LEAST A THANK YOU NOTE

A beautiful teaching moment here.

This Ben Shapiro/Dave Rubin clip is one of the most important recorded interactions for people who care about hypocrisy in the public sphere.

Thread 🧵 with some thoughts below.
First, Shapiro makes the argument that Daily Wire is a publisher (like a magazine or a newspaper) not a platform (like locals).

Interestingly, he implies that the Daily Wire was *subsidizing* Candace Owens. This would imply they were taking a financial loss to have her there.
Shapiro and Rubin, however, have also been massive critics of cancel culture. How did cancel culture get its name? From a campaign to cancel The Colbert Report over a tweet. Much of cancel culture is about inflicting professional harm for bad opinions.

At this point I treat Scott Alexander's writing as an infohazzard. Unless you are willing to check his facts and citations, it is probably inadvisable to read his material, as it is constructed to build a compelling narrative.
But watch the lemmings line up and jump off a cliff, obviously taking Scott Alexander, who has already admitted to falsely accusing multiple scientists, at his word. Image
Unless and until Scott Alexander commits to adopting a robust editorial process where blatant errors that are reported to him are corrected promptly, his work should be read as fiction "based on a real story, sorta".

To coin a term, this FDA tweet was a "narrative scaffold". After the narrative solidifies, it doesn't matter if the scaffold is taken down. Nobody will remember how things started anyway.

It's a synchronization signal for the elites to line up and promote the approved narrative. Once all the relevant people are committed, opponents' reputations destroyed, the original signal can go away, and the hive mind will continue singing to the same tune.
Other examples of narrative scaffolds? Where to start.

For one, the Steele dossier that led to the years and years of Russiagate garbage.

Or the Lancet letter, which was astroturfed between deeply conflicted scientists covering their own asses.

I would like to use the occasion of this clip to remind everyone that the TOGETHER trial has still not released the raw data as it promised to do in its journal submission.

All the big name accounts complaining about fraudulent ivm studies have said NOTHING about this scandal.

I even offered Scott Alexander $25k of my own money if he would help get it released and he didn't move a finger.

Following the ivm rabbit hole has been the fastest way to find out that practically nobody from the medical establishment cares about the actual facts on the ground. Just posturing and repeating the hive mind talking points.

Thank God for whistleblowers, I have gotten access to the interim analyses from this trial, and when I publish them, the fraudulent nature of its conduct will be clear to anyone who cares to know about it.

Receipts in replies.

@janleike I think we have a serious misalignment issue here.
