So show me my alternatives and I will choose the leader who has the best shot at being able to get money out of politics, put money in pockets and pass Medicare for all.
But I also don't want us to get deluded into thinking that the very same people who take the very same corporate money but then tell you that they want to go after Chuck Schumer are actually serious about solving the problem because they're going to find themselves somebody else who's willing to pass that same exact kind of policy that continues to launder corporate money into our politics.
So it's bigger than one person.
You know, my positions have been absolutely clear about where I stand on genocide, where I stand on corporate money and politics, where I stand on Medicare for all, where I stand on abolishing ICE.
And I'm looking for a leader who can advance those goals, hold this Trump administration accountable for the next two years of this administration, and then get us to a position where we're leading on hope for the things that we can do to actually build the kind of America that we need and deserve.
Well, I'll tell you this, it definitely has that potential.
And there are real risks.
There's also real opportunities.
Anybody who's messed around with Cloud or ChatGPT understands that there's real potential in this technology.
The thing about any life-changing technology, though, is that you have to balance the risk from the benefit.
And the risks that I see coming are manifold.
One is that it could potentially fundamentally and inalterably change the social contract when it comes to the ability for people to actually sell their intellectual capital on a market for money to live their lives.
And if you are starting to automate out what was traditionally knowledge work,
out of an economy, where does that go?
And what do you do when you are now potentially creating a circumstance where 15 to 20% of young people are not just unemployed, but unemployable as a function of it?
The second question is this topic of P-Doom, right?
Which used to be a term that they used in the old years of AI, like two years ago, which was the probability that AI would create existential doom.
And we know the risks of this.
We know that if this falls into the wrong hands, we know that if it's able to escape human control, that there's potentially catastrophic risks there.
And then there's the environmental footprint.
