… • Trump forced to nominate new pro-vax CDC commissioner • *Republican* Congress & courts have reversed many of Trump & Kennedy's attempts to limit vax funding or recommendations I have no need for your malinformed-and-proud-of-it, faraway-partisan news updates on this topic. UNSUBSCRIBE. /

… you are demonstrably VERY BAD at keeping up with US news, reading even your own sources carefully, understanding US policy, or predicting US outcomes. recent examples abound: • rather than mRNA vaxes being "banned", Trump's FDA just last month approved the 1st mRNA flu vax. …

… but rather than introspecting into why you were so confidently wrong – consuming spun accounts of half-stories only in certain partisan-pleasing directions, which you then selectively remember & amplify while oblivious to a broader picture – you just plug away, same as ever. …

… that was absurdly misinformed! no one with *any* familiarity with US policy or behaviors, or non-negligible real-world contact with Americans through last winter's cold & flu season, could have that crazy belief. anyone who wanted a C19 vax got it (and talked about getting it)! …

this remains far from your panicked predictions of vax bans, & per the article, may just be a transient delay - like how you were mistaken, a few months ago, that a short period of policy confusion in fall 2025 still meant Americans needed prescriptions for C19 shots. bsky.app/profile/gojo... …

… plentiful sims that create what we see, for arbitrary reasons, are sufficient – even if not an especially large fraction of all sims. that *we* seem interested in ancestor sims, for a myriad of research or entertainment reasons, is suggestive they'd be part of the mix. /

while some trying to draw conclusions about the now (or win arguments?) surely think "ancestor sims esp likely", I don't see the generic "there are good reasons to think we're in a 'sim', potentially with very high probability" concept as requiring that. …

I suspect you're thinking of Ben Thompson ("Stratechery"): stratechery.com/2026/whos-af...

screencap of text: "In fact, this paradox is the solution. I believe that open weight models are good for innovation (and, per the above, I think that labs on the frontier will be fine), but it’s a problem to be dependent on China. The U.S. should pass a law that (1) makes explicit that collecting data for training models is fair use, and (2) bars terms of service that forbid distillation, for U.S. companies at a minimum. Stopping distillation — which is literally just querying the API — is nearly impossible; the U.S. should go the other way and lean into a new copyright policy that both indemnifies the labs and also guarantees that what they learned fuels further innovation for everyone else."

TV graphic about tonight's USMNT game: "COMING UP MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL" nice job, wry Fox chyron composer, I LOLed

curiously, Grok hallucinated about me a collaboration, past job, X behavioral pattern, & supposed 7-post thread. but the words it misattributed are AI-smelling prose extending real things I've said – maybe pretraining synthetic data leaking?

… - in fact, outer possibility: part of Grok's training is other LLMs rewording/expanding source content, to thicken/improve/precache surrounding ideas for it. it's leaking synthetic training data, seeded from my real words as short prompts! /

… - You should demand Grok link the supposed "screenshots" etc it's consulting, & when it can't, let it know it's libeling me (with the allegation of regular deletions) - even as much of the attribution is vaguely flattering, as an extrapolation/expansion of my shorter words. …

… - X search indexing in my experience more often drops older tweets than recent months - from the alleged "reconstruction", I'm even more sure I never posted those words. the rhythm/diction ain't mine! (it's the kind of thing I might've retweeted, though.) …

110

… - I almost never delete tweets, & when I do it's a quick-fix soon after posting, not "older tweets during account clean-ups" (whatever that's supposed to mean). I certainly never post provocations then delete weeks later! …

FYI, tons of what Grok says here is false/hallucinatory! - my only 'collaboration' with Robin Hanson is as longtime reply guy - never been an EFF tech director - pretty sure I didn't write that text (though it matches my themes well) - can't find it my archive …

can you quote part of this that led you to believe the asdmin "DID kill all ongoing publicly funded mRNA research projects"? (I don't see it, as claim of Moderna or anyone else.) this is LLM (or Wikipedia-vandal) -level confabulation, supplying vaguely related links that don't say what is claimed.

000

… at a certain level, it doesn't matter *why* RFKjr backed off. you thought he'd run the table with his antivax agenda, I pointed out he'd be stopped by features of the US system, which you don't understand & refuse to learn. I was right; your catastrophism was wrong. /

000

… "your stated beliefs are the ones consistently further from the truth than mine" - which beliefs, quote them. because I can quote all the falsehoods you've said about vax bans (none) and mRNA research cessation (not). …

100

I made testable predictions that seem true so far: no vax bans thropugh end of 2026. to the extent your vague animosities & prejudices evaluable at all, they've been based on falsehoods and fears of things that didn't happen & aren't happening. …

100

yes, so you'd think yopu'd care about getting details right!

… also, what is this "You stated a belief in the economists who believed in improved economy"?! I can't find anything upthread that resembles that word-salad of an allegation. /

… FYI, significant DoD funding has continued, as well. but you hate evidence that contradicts your glib & malinformed "kill[ed] all ongoing publicly funded mRNA research projects" hallucination. won't even read it! like you're in a cult! …

"Moderna said" - but no link to their claim? (hint: they probably said something true that you're misrembering.) I gave you a link to a well-organized report of continuing mRNA funding, including in NIH. …

also, your claim the administration "DID kill all ongoing publicly funded mRNA research projects" is plainly false. it's a common bit of hyperbole in some partisan bubbles, but it reveals you as wholly unqualified to espouse such cocksure opinions about a faraway place you don't understand. …

300

so: none of the specifics you predicted occurred, AND the pushbacks I predicted worked to limit the RFKJr agenda. got it. "only temporary"? ok, what specifically are you willing to predict, and by when - with your usually-wrong faraway-partisan ESP?

100

… where you were slightly more specific - vax policy - you've been wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Trump's FDA now recommending approval of an mRNA flu vax. Trump's latest CDC nom conventionally pro-vaccine. & the window for further RFKjr-ism will close further with midterms in 3mo. /
