Between this guy and Michael Rappaport, it's going to be very funny to see a circus of Overconfident White Guys try to win against a once-in-a-lifetime political talent like Mamdani
Watters: You might run against Mamdani?
Portnoy: I would love to run against—if I was going to run, it would be here. Can I win here? I have no idea.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
