Calley Means on Bill Gates wanting to censor vaccine misinformation with AI

"Bill Gates said this week that we need immediate AI to scour the internet and take any vaccine misinformation out of the internet automatically on any format any private web page. This is wild. And he said, because the second that virus spreads in people's minds, the damage is done. So his number one use case for AI is to scour the internet and remove any vaccine misinformation from the internet.

That is because the largest and fastest growing industry in the country has completely co-opted the most trusted parts of the country. There's no higher level than the NIH, than Harvard Med School. They know that. Harvard med school is a subsidiary pharma, just demonstrably.

The FDA is 75% funded by pharma. Like this isn't a conspiracy. And there's a revolving door. And you've got people like Scott Gottlieb, I think the people like Trump's talking about still thinking he's gonna have power. This person that goes straight to Pfizer. And you've got him and people like this, and I've met with many of them.

Okay, of course. This book is amazing. Good energy is amazing. The food, you know, of course we got to get kids healthier. We got to work with pharma. We got to work with the, you know, we got to work with all the stakeholders, insurance companies. You know, we got to be incremental here.

There's a war right now between instrumentalists and radical change. We are living in a great time, but we have existential threats. And the question before everyone in this very important election is do we need more incrementality? Or do we need a fundamental rethink of some of our major systems?

I really think that's what's before us. And as Casey said, I think we're in a good period of history right now, certainly. But we're facing, I think, more existential threats that I really think we don't fully appreciate."
