ALT Hasan Piker said he wants prison, Chinese-style communism inside the Democratic Party, and Cultural Revolution tactics. Bernie Sanders puts the same instinct in a bill: ban the models, pause the labs, twenty years if you build anyway. One does it on stream. One does it in committee. Both sell a system that has already been run. It does not end in equality. It ends in empty shelves, empty fields, and a body count the office will not claim.
ALT AI doomerism pays both. Bill Gates floats a billion deaths and says self-regulation is not enough. Bernie Sanders writes the ban and the Department of AI. Gates already shipped, so the scare puts a cop on the next lab. Sanders never shipped, so the scare puts a clerk on intelligence, the same clerk he already put on housing and power.
