Literally anyone can get an AI agent for $20/mo, and Bernie and AOC think that doesn’t benefit ordinary people, so they want to drive scarcity so that it’s $20,000/mo and only the wealthy have AI. Insane.

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' AI Data Center Moratorium Act contains a moratorium on all US datacenter upgrading and construction, as well as a ban on the export of all US-origin GPU's. Press conference this afternoon.

@PoliticalKiwi In that it is profoundly more important and positive as a technology and being opposed to it is even more destructive than being opposed to previous technologies

One day it will be widely accepted that blindly comparing AI to a previous technology (e.g. the light bulb) is the lowest form of argument, barely worth engaging with. At this moment, it behooves me to state the obvious: general intelligence and light bulbs are very different.
Tweets from Zach Weinberg@zachweinberg

WaPo crushing it today: "America is lucky that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) wasn’t in office for the advent of the light bulb. We might all still be reading by candlelight." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

As a former progressive, this is absolutely accurate and caused me endless frustration with my co-partisans. They fundamentally don’t care if their ideas work. They hardly even have a concept of ideas working. Their entire evaluation function is based on social perception and emotionalism which is, in fact, profoundly selfish and unvirtuous. If you care more about feeling like/being seen as good than you do about results, you’re a selfish parasite. Hardly exclusive to the left, but it defines the leftist project in a way it doesn’t define any other political faction.

@edwest After a decade in the public sector I still find this one of the most replicable observations ever made.

@CYBERY0NGIE "actually brown people can't do bad things and you can never have an opinion about what anyone non-white does ever" We're leaving this shit in Woke 1.0 (when it also sucked)

@Haoshoku @DanKellyFreedom We shouldn't give in to that instinct. More suffering doesn't help anyone and is an inherent bad. Killed but not tortured is fine.

If I had my way, anyone who raped or unjustifiably killed an innocent (including sentient nonhumans) in an realistically undeniable case of guilt would lose all their rights except one: the inalienable right to carry out suicide, assisted by a physician if requested.

Italy is causing an uproar after drafting laws to castrate rapists and pedophiles so they can NEVER reoffend or reproduce. Critics are calling it "state sanctioned torture." Is this torture or justice?

@FreeFormLurk @wescillus If you care about nonhuman animal suffering why should that not extend to victims of predation in the wild? If this stems from practical concerns do you realize that antipredation is an ethical view only suggesting we should prevent it where we have the ability to do so safely?

I trust groups of artificial superintelligences to run society and do good things much more than I trust humans, a species of ape, to do the same. The opposite view is inconceivable to me.

To build a sustained human presence on the Moon, we are building @NASAMoonBase, prioritizing surface operations and scalable infrastructure.  - Frequent robotic landings and mobility testing including MoonFall drones  - Starting in 2027 nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon.  - Investments in power, communications, and surface mobility  - Scalable infrastructure to support long-term human presence The objective is clear: build the foundation for an enduring lunar base and take the next step toward Mars.

@revividity So advocate for UBI, don't destroy the one thing propelling us toward abundance. Not sure who you're referring to with the technofascist bullshit but I do think the the AI companies and billionares involved are at least aiming for something like a society where work is optional.

Workers won't be better off in the long term if we crush technological progress. Living standards have always improved with technological progress. We should build abundance and make work optional, not shoot ourselves in the foot by destroying our means of creating that abundance
Sen. Bernie Sanders@SenSanders

AI and robotics are going to bring cataclysmic changes to our society. Sadly, Congress has done virtually nothing. AI must work for working families, not the billionaires. Today, I’m introducing a moratorium on new data centers until we protect working people.

The democrats' decision to move towards the anti innovation ideology of the so called "progressives" will prove to be a huge blunder. Allowing innovation and technological progress to become right-coded means the future will belong to them and be credited to them.

A moratorium on AI data centers is how you guarantee the future is controlled by someone else. If you’re worried about billionaires, why limit supply instead of expanding access?
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

We are rapidly creating technology that could surpass human intelligence, with enormous risks to jobs, society and humanity itself. AI must work for all of us, not just a handful of billionaires. That’s why I’m introducing a moratorium on new AI data centers.
