Picture this: Bernie Sanders, the eternal underdog with a Brooklyn growl that could curdle milk, spots the shiny new kid on the block—OpenAI’s ChatGPT, churning out essays faster than a caffeinated intern. “Break it up!” he thunders, like a grumpy grandpa eyeing a fireworks stand run by rowdy teens. In a world where AI is the meteor hurtling toward our job market, Bernie’s not ducking for cover; he’s grabbing a cosmic sledgehammer. “We’ve got to deal with its complexity,” he warns, probably while sipping fair-trade coffee and plotting a “robot tax” to fund universal basic mittens. Sure, Trump’s cozying up to Sam Altman with billion-dollar AI playgrounds like Stargate, but Bernie’s got that old-school antitrust fire, railing against job-stealing bots and AI companions that make Friend’s wearable look like a tin-foil hat convention. It’s peak Sanders: fighting the man, even when the man’s a algorithm plotting world domination from a Silicon Valley server farm. Will Washington listen? Probably not, but at least Bernie’s got us chuckling through the apocalypse
