Could I cheat and say guardrails as a form of control, right?

No, guardrails around artificial intelligence.

Yes, but you need to be specific.

As a technology of the future with societal impacts across employment, across how we communicate with each other, our belief in our leadership, I'd want to make sure that there is somebody accountable

for decisions being made, whether that's the political class or the billionaires that are advancing the technology that they're doing because they know they're being watched, because they know that they're held accountable, they are doing what's in the best interest of society, in the best interest of America.

So that's control.

I'm ready to take on challenges, alternatives.

I think that this is Wired and this is a tech show.

So I think if we had no alternative format to the emergence of social media and we're much, much more mindful to the opportunities.

The way it connected Americans in certain regards pulled folks together, but also divided us and put us into separate camps.

I want to, you know, thinking as a future senator, I'd want to have a way that shepherded social media to account for the damage it's done.

Okay, so... You can do that.

You didn't say... Yeah, you can go back in time.

That's fine.

You can go back in time.

Okay, so if I'm on the spot about something else alternative... I think that was a good answer.

Deleting.

Deleting.

That's interesting.

You know, I guess I'm going to filibuster to a certain extent, but I'm a big believer that like, you know, you have a chain of effects that results in where you are today.
