I rarely see a criticism of Bernie Sanders that isn't some form of perfect solution fallacy and this comment is not one of them.

I'm sorry, like "Yes" but also, SIGH.

Cuz like;

  1. He's been doing this 70 years and he's said it all already.

  2. He's been doing this 70 years, he is too old to be the guy directing AI.

He’s been doing this 70 years and he’s too old to be the guy directing AI.

So why is he getting involved in AI?

Not a bad question. If I can tweak it a little:

Why is he getting involved in AI regulation, but only in this specific way?

Because pro-AI lobbyists (including a Silicon Valley cult leader) got to him.
