Todd Gloria gaslighting again... He can’t even fix some simple streetlights. The City broke the streetlights in PB over 5yrs ago, and is either too broke to fix them or no longer has any competent staff. Gloria just abandoned the community in darkness.. not concerned with safety at all. Complete embarrassment.

Hey Todd Gloria, Are you also aware that the City knocked out the streetlights in north PB over 5 years ago , and they’re still out? If you broke it, you should fix it right? You just abandoned the community in darkness , so don’t talk about public safety until you clean up your own mess.

While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right.
The CEOs of the leading AI labs have told us repeatedly that they will cause massive job loss. This is not a story that I believe, nor does the data bear it out, but this is what they have told us. Similarly, they have hyped the risks of AI without putting an equal or greater emphasis on the benefits or readily available mitigations.
Conservatives have another fear. The employees of the leading labs claim to be philanthropic, but what we’ve seen is massive enrichment of NGOs advancing an agenda at odds with traditional values, fueling a revolution against our cities and communities. Soros-maxxing is not charity in our book.
Anthropic and OpenAI have established themselves as Public Benefit Corporations. What could be more in the public benefit than using half the wealth generated by these companies (which trained for free on the collective knowledge of humanity) to pay down the national debt? There is no ideological bias in that philanthropy.
Dario and Sam have begun to walk back their claims of massive job loss, but the damage to public trust is done, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. I could almost support the Sanders proposal as a stupidity tax.
There’s just one problem. Nationalization of AI will accelerate the corporate-government fusion we’re already sliding toward. Conservatives rightly fear a Central Bank Digital Currency. They ought to be even more concerned about Central Government AI — a system with even more totalistic power over information, decision-making, and human behavior.
We saw how social media was weaponized to censor conservatives (including President Trump) in the last Democrat administration. The definition of “trust & safety” expanded to mean protecting the public from supposed psychological harms, micro-aggressions, and disinformation (you know, like hearing conservative ideas or true facts about Covid).
That “safety” agenda as applied to AI will be vastly more powerful and Orwellian. AI won’t just moderate posts; it will curate reality — with the ability to rewrite history, enforce ideological conformity, influence policy at scale, mass surveil Americans, and condition the benefits of the many systems it controls on approved behavior.
America won’t win the AI race if we beat China but end up with a CCP-style social credit system in the U.S. — and that is the danger as the government becomes more deeply involved in AI development and assumes direct ownership and control.
Conservatives are right to fear where this is all headed but ought to think more carefully about how regulations they are flirting with now (that are widely celebrated among those with a long history of lust for Big Government) will be used against them the next time a Democrat administration is in power.
California's vote casting and counting processes are beyond screwed up and I fully believe Dems and the NGOs like CHIRLA are currently engaged in trying to rig the vote.
Knowing the state's funky laws and processes will help you keep up with what's going on and not be fooled by ragebait.
A thread with a few of my stories over the years on the topic

Never forget retired Police Captain David Dorn
On June 2nd, 2020 David Dorn was murdered in cold blood by BLM rioters while trying to defend a store from being looted.
No around the clock media coverage, no golden casket. Completely ignored by the left.
@MayorToddGloria Todd Gloria is gaslighting until proven otherwise. Streetlights have been out in PB for 5 yrs. Last night, even more were out. Things are going downhill folks.

This could be interesting 🍿… the leading Dem candidate has all kinds of signif issues that the Dem party ignores, then the possible sex creeper evidence comes out. Will this be the final straw for the Dems? Reminds me of how Cuomo sent Covid infected patients into nursing homes that likely resulted in deaths and pandemic acceleration, and the Dem party yawned until it came out that he was apparently a serial groper. Yet the Dems wants men in women’s sports, bathrooms, prisons, etc. 🤷♂️
It is revealed that @grahamformaine’s wife informed his U.S. Senate campaign that he had been sending s—xually explicit messages to as many as a dozen women. https://t.co/MOW7eCtiAV
For the record (and you can scroll my profile), I think Newsom is a disaster of a governor, and CA mismanagement and fraud are everywhere (homelessness industrial complex, the bs bullet train, diaper programs, EDD, etc.).
What I’m saying about this program, is that )in general) hyperbolic claims lodged without evidence are not helpful because they discredit the movement to save CA. For example, per Grok, the funds are held in state/utility balancing accounts (not given to the non-profit program administrators). The program admins get reimbursed for incentive paid plus capped admin only. The program design went through the CPUC public approval process (so not entirely designed by the program administrators as implied). The program is largely limited to deed-restricted low-income multi-unit housing— so limited targets, and slow moving.
IMO, that money can move a lot quicker if the state would approve a wider pool of potential applicants. And, I’m not a fan of a lot of the so-called community based organizations (CBOs) doing outreach, and believe CA would be better served by not pushing this approach on program administrators.

@MayorToddGloria@ToddGloria Todd Gloria forgot an item:
- PB streetlights are still out after 5 yrs. Community left in darkness. Mentally ill addicts moving in the dark.
The Supreme Court has ruled that under UK law, trans people never had the rights people like you insisted they had. You misrepresented the law and cheered on the removal of women’s rights. Trans people have lost nothing except the mistaken belief you fostered.
If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.
