In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

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.

I've seen one today: "Mamdani admits massive NYC deficit! Proof socialism doesn't work!". Dude, he wasn't mayor a month ago, pretty sure socialism isn't the problem here...

Is that a real headline? If so, that's extremely dishonest journalism...

Generally, I would never put much weight into an article with an exclamation mark in the headline.
