US senator appears at Manhattan rally alongside New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, who cautioned that AI is ‘coming for human jobs’
Bernie Sanders has sounded an alarm over the US economy, warning “the worst is yet to come” unless workers overcome a “ruling class” of billionaires.
The US senator spoke at a rally in Manhattan on Sunday alongside Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, who cautioned that artificial intelligence was “coming for human jobs” amid mounting concern over the technology’s rapid development.
As the pair headlined the launch of Union Now, a new drive to boost labor unions across the US, Sanders issued a bleak assessment of the consequences if workers fail to organize against billionaires like Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX; Jeff Bezos, executive chair of Amazon; and Donald Trump, the US president.
We need organization, this is all an exercise in futility without it. Organization in citizenry, on our own forums. Fediverse could work, but not like any that are set up now, we need a new one, with a better set up for what we need.
Why do you think they made Palantir? It’s to target organizers. They already tested their methods. Target the lead organizers and make them go away, before anyone even hears about them if possible.
I know it, and this is just the latest iteration of targeting any organization of the people. We can go around these guys though, don’t think we can’t. The decentralized nature of the fediverse could be unstoppable as of now. We are more capable than they are, when we act in concert.
