How will they be able to handle the onslaught of a strongly worded letter?
Stop with the threats and just fucking do it. This shit is why everyone thinks the Dems are useless.
I doubt he can. Too many other Senators getting checks from the Chatbot labs.
If he can get senate action on AI then why can't he get senate action on all the other plethora of crap happening to us right now?
He cant, but he wants to. Which is important.
We should never take something away from an action with good intentions, just because others want to stop him.
Thats not how we get the change in the end. Because someday it might succeed.

They bought the senate Bernie
By which he means funding and dc planning approval
What Senate action will he take? Have a hearing when the senators will try to get sound bites in for reelection?

This comment section is the dumbest thing I've ever read.
This is playing into their hand. “Oh your tech is so amazing and powerful and must be paused!”
Nah. It’s a bullshit bubble that’s threatening to tear down world order, or what’s left of it.

What development? It's an LLM. The only thing improving is it's ability to trick dumb people into thinking it's smart.
I think we need to start talking global treaties where we just not produce for a minute. Like strategic factory shut downs that let us breath some fresh air.
Ai isn't the only one polluting for no reason. No layoff. Just really nice time off to move about the world. Fuck ai for sure. Data centers are not needed when it's only other AI bots talking to eachother. Build some housing and crisis help centers for fucks sake.
Build some housing and crisis help centers for fucks sake.
Cities, counties, states and the federal government could all do that right now, but seems taxpayers aren't willing to vote for it.
When Mamdani sat down at his desk, and moved the giant pile of paperwork that every other mayor ignored, he found a button that said "Something Good." He pushed it, and something good happened. So he pushed it again. And again. And he kept pushing it.
That button was always there, and any mayor before him could have pushed it, but they didn't. That's all they had to do, and they just didn't do it.
Furthermore, that button is on the desk of every politician, and most of them never push it either.
We need to make them ALL start pushing that button.
He did business as usual with a better social media presence
oh good luck with that bernie.. while he's not wrong, there's too much money passing hands for this to be a threat
