Between his terrifying debate performance and his refusal/inability to appear in public without reading from a Teleprompter, it’s pretty clear that Joe Biden hasn’t been the president of the United States for quite some time, assuming that he ever was.

Who has been making the big decisions in the Biden Administration for the last few years? No one knows.

Adhering to the Silicon Alley principle of “move fast and break things,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman embodies the rudeness, recklessness and apparent lack of concern for dangerous societal consequences that prompt many Americans to dislike tech titans. Last week alone, Altman made public apologies for a “breakdown in communication” with Scarlett Johansson over the use of her voice for ChatGPT and for equity clawback clauses in OpenAI employees’ exit agreements.

So. Proud.

What does it say about America that our two major presidential nominees have to, respectively, avoid acting like a total nut or merely need to convince us that he’s fairly alive?
