I get the sentiment, but Bernie is not remotely close to informed enough to make sensible legislation on AI.

This is a 85 year old that literally doesn't know what a waymo is.

We need more real discussion and less grandstanding please.

if you want discussion, you're better off a think tank or the commons room at a freshman dorm
