We have lawmakers that still think trickle down economics works and will work any minute now, of course they can't prepare for or understand the impending AI Boom. I'm sure we will see some semi-effective legislation in about ten years.

I know this probably feels like a nitpick, but I wish instead of saying:

> or that it’s sentient (it’s not),

journalists would instead say:

>or that it’s sentient (nobody actually has any idea what that means),

Every single debate along these lines has this infuriating flaw of people throwing vague words back and forth at each other based on some gut intuition that they don't have the faintest idea how to make any falsifiable statements about.

Apart from the ones under 40, only some of them are (barely) ready for Twitter and WiFi, both of which gained popularity in 2000s.

You'll be looking at 2040s and all the dinosaurs are dead.

The terminology is irrelevant. His point is about job displacement which is relevant

I don't know if the daily beast can be considered journalism.

Are lawmakers ever ahead of the curve when it comes to any technological development?

I still remember when the internet was referred to as a "series of tubes" in the same speech where an e-mail was referred to as "an internet".

Law makers aren’t ready for shit. Just a bunch of old, out of touch rich twats sucking corporate dongs.

A whole lot of under-40 politicians are just as ignorant and that's because they are politicians. It has nothing to do with age so disabuse yourself of that because it makes you look ill-informed.
