“My message to Democratic leaders: Ban super PACs from Democratic primaries NOW.”

“Right now, the Democratic Party has the power to prohibit super PACs from participating in its primaries. That can be done. That must be done,”

“it will have to be the American people who say ‘no’ to authoritarianism”

“People are worried that right now, many young people, teenagers, are relying on companionship from AI rather than fellow human beings,”

“Right now, politicians — at least sometimes — have to worry about loss of life when they decide to go to war. If you don’t have to worry about loss of life, and what you worry about is loss of robots, what does that mean for issues of war and peace globally? It’s a big issue.”

“The top 1% of Americans own more wealth than the bottom 93%,”

“I think we are not all that far away from the development of robotic soldiers,”

“Today, before we have seen the full implications of robotics and AI, you’re looking at unprecedented wealth and income concentration,”

“Musk recently said that ‘AI and robots will replace all jobs. Working will be optional.’”

“People who know a lot more than I do about this, people like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Dario Amodei, they are talking about massive, massive job dislocation,”

“What we have now is a terrible situation, and Republicans are making it worse. Well, what are you going to do? If Republicans are doing it, you have to respond. It’s pathetic, but I think you have to respond,”

“The idea of a third term? Why not? They don't believe in the rule of law. They don't believe in the Constitution. So, yeah, I would take that seriously.”

“They do. Because for them, you know, they're zillion-dollar law firms, and money, money, money. So, they're gonna sell out their souls to Donald Trump in order to continue to be able to make money here in Washington.”
