The explanation Congress is doing nothing to regulate AI isn't complicated.

Its never more compicated than that.

Soon, the Oligarchs won't need politicians at all.

Still mad about the Democratic Party doing Bernie so dirty. I donate only to progressive candidates, period. Never again will I vote for or contribute to any democrat running on a platform that doesn’t align with my values and beliefs no matter how many emails they bombard me ...

Well, that plus most of them have a minimal understanding of the true impact any technology newer than a VCR.

Maybe the real political reform and regulation is the friends we made along the way

The thing is, most politicians are complete morons. Especially when it comes to technology. They have no concept about any of it, and no stances either because it's not like they can be bothered to look into an issue or read up on it. So when the techbros come knocking with so...

The less money oligarchs have to spend on workers, the more money they have to spend on politicians.

I will never forgive democrats for giving us Trump instead of Bernie

Congress saw the lobby checks and said wow this robot seems fine actually

And in the grand scheme of things, $185 mil is chump change compared to how much money gets passed around in that circle. That's the equivalent of a few pennies on the sidewalk for me or you.

Just like how they're bought by the defense industry and why we keep getting wars.

Buckley v. Valeo did so much damage.

It's still Q1. Unreal and grotesque.

that's how everything works

They need AI to stave off the Greatest Depression.

We've been horrendous stewards of digital technology. Blinded by its promise never considering its costs.

I imagine a world where this guy could have been potus.

This is a crazy return on investment. Buying politicians is so f'ing cheap for the ultrawealthy.

Including throwing the nc04 primary. Ai isnt the problem. Companies that prey on our economy are.

If only Saint Bernie of Montpelier was able to do something in congress, after decades of public office... Where's his legislation on the subject? Isn't he a... <checks notes> "legislator"?

Our politicians are cheap in many ways, that's what I learned. About 400k per Congressperson. Considering the damage the centers do in regards to air and noise pollution, water theft, electricity rate hikes, not to mention ai itself taking jobs. The damage this will do to ever...

Another reason why nothing in this country will get better until citizen United is overturned

The rich are still angry that slavery ended. They think robots will eventually be the slaves they are missing and then humans will be forced back into slavery just to survive if you aren't in the robot owning class. Problem is when robots become intelligent enough to do all hu...
