I've yet to see any negative headlines about Mamdani ever since hr won election, aside from him opposing primarying Chuck Schumer for some stupid fucking reason.

Seeing the tankies talk about him on .ml would make you think he was leading the 4the Reich. Notice how the proletariat tends to win when we don't engage in puritanical politics based off of red fascism.

It feels ridiculous I have to say this, but it feels so good to hear about a politician just immediately saying "oh yeah, we needed to figure out where to make cuts, and these shitty AI chat bots seemed like an obvious place to start."

Wild that a politician deciding to terminate an application (and its associated contract) because the application doesn't actually work as intended seems so odd.

But I like it.

Adams is a dickhole collaborator. I’m surprised the contract was only around $600k. How much so you think Adams got on top?

I wish Mamdani the best. There’s so much happening to be able to ingest it all, but so far he seems genuine. My natural glare of “what SHIT are you up to!??” has so far yielded nothing; Good. More!

Oh, look, a leader leading...how strange, not beholden to anything but his constituents? I love this guy.

The chatbot, which was released by the Eric Adams administration in fall of 2023, was meant to provide business owners with an accessible way to check city rules and regulations. But as first documented by The Markup and THE CITY, the bot provided answers that, if followed, would lead to illegal behavior by businesses, like taking a cut of employees’ tips.

unfortunately we live in times where saying "we're getting rid of this thing that no one ever asked for and never does anything good" is unusual.

Real heroism.

Let's stop using all ai chatbots. That shit is harming earth.

Based. Good to see him going for common sense easy issues to keep people engaged while he works on the harder to tackle issues.

It is also the environmentally responsible thing to do.

I like him better every day.

That, in and of itself, is not something that can bridge this kind of a gap, but it’s an indication of the ways in which money has been spent while refusing to account for the actual costs of what these programs are.

This is what I see as the important bit, and indicates both a level head and clear communication. We need more politicians across the board who can answer directly like this, and not try to inflate or exaggerate.

This is the kind of waste, fraud, and abuse that Elon was supposed to be getting rid of.

I asked why NYC had the shittiest mayor a year or so ago... Now I'm wondering why CA doesn't have one this good.

To be fair, we did at one point... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_Max_II?wprov=sfla1

It was costing the administration around half a million dollars.

How? Surely this was put in place as a cost cutting measure. I mean, terminate it, sure. Pay actual humans. I just have questions.

Based. Those things will only get pricier.
