You don't really have to ask the multimillionaire former president. I was just saying that for effect since ya know, you can plainly just read what he said and understand he thinks people listening to Ezra Klein will somehow be helpful.

I started reading the transcript and this is exactly what I expected. Within the first 5 minutes they're whitewashing ICE atrocities under Democratic Party leadership. Fuck Ezra Klein. Fuck the NYT. And Fuck Obama

You might wanna ask Obungler because it's clearly one of the avenues he's recommending based on the content of his post thread

We don't need to wonder considering Obama put out a statement saying as much after Kirk got airholed

"It's important to understand that I don't really have to worry about any of this being that I hoarded tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for myself. Now go watch a podcast"

It's obvious now why this man was one of the most disappointing public figures in the last 100 years right

are you talking about unfollowing a former president whose solution to a fascist takeover (that he helped usher in) is "here's a podcast from a billionaire-owned media conglomerate" because that's very unserious in my opinion

Right but these are functional applications that have probably been possible for a while now using advanced algorithms and other "non-AI" tools. Actual "artificial intelligence" is still so far away.

Sounds like an incredibly niche application for something that is intended to change labor forever. I've been on R&D teams working with AI in medical spaces and I can tell you, we are DECADES away from it being a reliable companion instead of a tool humans need to oversee.

You're too stupid to talk to. Upholding them means impeaching people when they commit impeachable offenses. But yeah somehow it would be detrimental because GOP will *gasp* lie about what the results mean. OH MY GOD THEY WOULD NEVER OTHERWISE.

You = ๐Ÿคก

These are all the same point, which is not at all difficult to comprehend. Dem leadership isnโ€™t interested in being an opposition to fascism as long as it inconveniences them.

real quick since you're so sure you're right about the minority party not having power: how many times has someone in the democratic party objected to unanimous consent on any motion or legislation

Why even show up to work then if they have "no power"? Like were you literally born yesterday and didn't witness the GOP affect policy while in the minority? Fucking ludicrous to suggest a minority party has no power. Fuck outta here
