Right, and sometimes you just wanna get things fixed and instead you feel like you're in a doom loop with the chat bot where you're saying something and they're saying the same thing back to you. We also really worry about AI being used to impersonate people. A lot of older adults in our country are getting very realistic texts, calls that are mimicking the voices of their loved ones.

Well, I guess my view is that I don't think any of us should be groveling to billionaires to save our country. We should believe that people control our country. And I think we should be worried that when there is a click of CEOs that seem to call the shots – and frankly, I do think that that's part of the problems that not only – that everyone is worried about –

when it comes to the massive mismatch in power. It's why I think so many of us are huge fans of Lena Khan and all the work she has done to really challenge that power. And I think that that is going to be something that we have to continue to do. We shouldn't be asking these individuals for permission. They are not our elected officials. Well, you could just tell them to fuck off.

Well, look at people all across our government. There are people who specialize in certain roles. Some of them prosecute terrorism. You can't really do that in the private sector. There are just some things that are done for the public's sake.
