US senator appears at Manhattan rally alongside New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, who cautioned that AI is ā€˜coming for human jobs’

Bernie Sanders has sounded an alarm over the US economy, warning ā€œthe worst is yet to comeā€ unless workers overcome a ā€œruling classā€ of billionaires.

The US senator spoke at a rally in Manhattan on Sunday alongside Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, who cautioned that artificial intelligence was ā€œcoming for human jobsā€ amid mounting concern over the technology’s rapid development.

As the pair headlined the launch of Union Now, a new drive to boost labor unions across the US, Sanders issued a bleak assessment of the consequences if workers fail to organize against billionaires like Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX; Jeff Bezos, executive chair of Amazon; and Donald Trump, the US president.

      One thing about playing cyberpunk 2077 is it feels so creepily close. Especially all the homelessness and the way the rental buildings worked.
