New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap

In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

    It’s interesting. I hadn’t heard a single peep from or about New York until Mamdani came into the picture. It’s almost like he’s getting special attention from both sides. One side trying to poke a many holes in his leadership and character as possible, and the other trying to point out how much better he’s doing versus other established individuals. It’s very interesting.

      You didn’t get bombarded with details about what a corrupt fuckwit Eric Adams was? It was constant news in my slice of the world.

        Not really, no. I don’t even hear about my own mayor. Of course, it helps that I’m just about as far away from NYC that I can be in the States.

      His progressive politics must be portrayed as a catastrophic failure in any way possible. Otherwise the elite class will be shitting their pants.

      The elites need to maintain the status quo at all costs.
