I think they're sort of smeared as maybe Luddites for not embracing this new technology.

But I think they have a lot of valid questions.

I think you see it flare up in the topics that Joe was talking about, whether it's social media or these sort of one-off cases where something really horrible happens.

But I think what you're talking about is sort of the changing of the fabric of life as we know it.

the potential for being replaced by robots.

They always seem to use this stuff to push more immigration and bringing in a bunch of tech workers.

So I don't think the MAGA base is sold on this at all.

I think it's one of the other sort of friction points that I think you're seeing the original diehard MAGA base, more kind of the boomer demographic, not really embracing this.

But of course, as you know, it's a tale as old as time, these companies pouring money in.

But I

I'm really curious what exactly the regulation it is that they're targeting, what they want to kind of open up, because it seems like they've enjoyed a pretty wide runway thus far, at least from the White House.

I think they've demonstrated that they're very pro-AI, whatever it means.

It's such a monolithic term.

But what exactly it is they're seeking?

I think they also want a government bailout, too.

I think if you look at the models, right, the financing, what their projected valuations are, even Sam Altman is on the record how long ago saying they want taxpayers to subsidize it.

So I think part of it is the regulation aspect, but I think part of it's fiscal, too.

I think Republicans will definitely get more cash, but I do think the Democrats are already sort of integrating AI into a lot of their protest infrastructure.

I was actually just working on a story about how they're using it to sort of train protesters, distribute information and materials.

So I think that's very interesting and very rapidly developing nexus between AI and on-the-street activism.
