Bernie wants to regulate AI. AI wants to regulate humans. 😢

Don't be too tough in Sheinbaum, Plausible Deniability is likely important for her safety & that of her family & staff.

Sometime, it feels like sandra bullock and reece witherspoon have been replaced by an AI the came from the future to make sure it gets created in the future.

Great program, as always, with one exception. First of all, loved the interview with Alex Hanna. He cut through the bullshit about AI. As for Emma's comments on President Sheinbaum, thank you Matt for helping clarify the situation. The Majority Report of all people needs to know about and recognize the huge disinformation campaign against Mexico and Latin America. Why haven't you covered Hondurasgate yet? toe learn more about Mexico, you could start with the YouTube podcast "Soberanía." I'm pretty sure Matt knows at least one of the journalists who put that ABSOLUTELY essential program on. Listened in just steps from the industrially ravaged Gowanus Canal.

For AI my company is making it mandatory to use AI for tasking and the people they hired to train us are saying it’s the non negotiable way of the future like computers

“They epitomize the banality of evil” very well said

It’s not like Sheinbaum is unaware of the presence of CIA in México. She herself has brought this up numerous times. To me, the issue should be centered on “WTF were these dudes doing there”. Intelligence-sharing is a long cry from this kind of cloak-and-dagger Tomfoolery. I believe her when she says she was unaware, but the governor of Chihuahua has some ‘splainin to do and, I would expect, the US Ambassador.

It’s time for California to withhold funds
