Because they're saying dumb things and unfortunately holding hands and being shy about someone's straight lack of thinking doesn't really get people to see the point. The comments in this section state:

• Bernie is both not doing his job(he is) and benefitting from this/AI

-AI is both bad and worthless but also dangerous and Bernie is dumb for trying to do anything (complete fallacy of the weak/dangerous threat kind, the enemy is both weak but dangerous. Silly)

-Absolutely fake claims like the one above.

So the whole comment section is just rife with stupidity. Stupid isn't even a bad word.

Back to what you said. I literally don't understand why you act like it says stock changes anything or anything about what I said? Literally useless points you keep highlighting. Nothing is made more clear by whatever you're trying to say.

Donald Trump already had the upper hand he doesn't care about the rule of law. Dunno why you're viewing this like game of thrones.

Bernie Sanders wants the wealth amassed by these AI companies which have stolen data and work of billions of people across generations to be handed back to the people. His strategy is to tax the STOCK (not sure why we're bolding it but sure I'll play along). He is following the regular ruling that stands for creating panels, legislative bodies, committee establishment process. The president nominates THE SENATE CONFIRMS(because you glossed over that part) this is literally the standard practice.

So I don't understand what you think you're making clear or how what he's doing is wrong here. He's following the rules and wants to tax the stock of companies that have taken advantage of Americans. It literally makes complete sense and is nothing like what the comment above claims.

The comment above suggests the government will own the stock? Or something ridiculous and Bernie wants to give that power to the president. Which is what I imagine an insane person's interpretation of that article might be if they didn't know anything about government functions or something. So in conclusion, it's a very stupid interpretation.

AI is just a boring tool to do boring things, things I use it for. I’m not a single minded ideological purist. If Bernie wants to rope in the shitty business practices by hyperscalers, say that. Don’t headline “pause AI development” because that is exactly what critihype is.

edit: by the way, you are putting a lot of words in my mouth. I never said or implied AI is useless, just that there is a bubble fueled by bullshit. You’re jumping to conclusions not warranted by the original comment.

His voting record shows Bernie votes with Dems 95% of the time, one of the highest consistently Dem voting representatives there are. So yes, he may be an 'Independent' but his voting record says that's absolutely not the case.

Then why make threats they can't back up? It just makes them look worse. Shit like this is not helping them get elected.
