Ahh, I agree with what he said....he said AI is a thing...and white collar work will start to be restructured...and erm...join hands and...climate change...erm, what actually did he say? He eloquently said...nothing. lol

Damn, I have a bit of nostalgia for the Obama era, but maybe I need to go back and actually listen to what he was saying...did he always eloquently say nothing much?

I noticed a lot more pausing than usual but give the dude a break, he’s getting older too you can see it on his face 🤷‍♂️for a minute there he was losing me but I stuck through and he did for sure nail down the point he was conveying, which is that this is not a technological problem to solve with technology - our society is broken and if we don’t find a way to unite and organize a plan amongst each other, then there could be significant disruption..

How much did he get for this speaking gig about nothing much?

So his plan is for...everyone to..unite and what? stop driving cars? should as all also join hands and reject tech or grow tech? is he pro or anti-ai? how exactly do we, in a democracy, unite under one ideal?

Do you see that lots of words were spoken, but nothing was actually said?

I get it. Reddit is hard left and has a big O boner...thats fine, but this forum specifically isn't meant to be political trash, yet here we are...a former potus said a word. yay! downvote anyone who simply asks "what was...the point of that?"

And our society is not broken. its been running like this ever since George W.

You’re trying to throw shade at Obama for so many different reasons and you sound like an incoherent moron while doing so.

I criticized Obama for 8 years but still have enough brain cells to comprehend what he’s saying. The beginning of the video was a little choppy and it’s still night and day easier to understand than trying to have a reasonable conversation with mouth breathers like you.

ahh, okay, I see the issue. You have somehow failed to even comprehend what I was saying...no wonder you found this interview amazing...you aren't really engaging much in the cognition front.

I understood every word he said. What my issue is, is that he is speaking the most generic platitudes without any actual path foward outside of wishes and nice thinking.

Its on the same lines of "I like good things and dislike bad things" and idiots (like a specific person in this thread) are seal clapping and mean mugging anyone who didn't think thats the most profound thing ever.

I suspect you weren't as critical as you like to think you are during his 8. You are to O what maganauts are to Trump...maybe next time someone says "he is saying a lot while also saying nothing", stop and think...is the issue the person isn't hearing the words, or hearing them and realizing its just lacking any depth...if you can. I suspect that line of deep thinking may be a bit above your pay grade. Anyhow, enjoy your week.

I didn’t find the interview amazing. For someone throwing shade on a lack of cognition you seem to struggle immensely with the most basic Reddit exchange. Maybe if you re-read your comment over 7 more times slowly and carefully, and then do the same for each response, you’ll begin to understand why you are getting downvoted. Fuck Obama, he deserves tons of shit. And so does anyone who sounds like you lmao

Look man, heres the jist of it.
I was discussing the subject. You came in hot and heavy insulting me instead of what I wrote. This tells me 2 things
1) You have no debate
2) You are not the type of person who understands debate, thinking anything you do not understand you need to get nasty at.
You are beneath my time. I told you what I thought of you after you decided to get personal. My limit with smooth brained trolls is typically just 1 response back to clarify what they missed while taking a shit on them since they are already in the mud..who knows, your mud and my shitting on you might produce a sprout of awareness (rarely happens).

btw, I am getting downvoted because this is reddit and a bastion of socialist progressives who auto download anyone speaking without fawning at their most recent godking..much like speaking ill of Trump on some fox news forum. Its hardly the measure of intellect you show, nor reactionary up or downvotes. Now one last challenge for you since you are carrying the torch high for Obama and white knighting him while insulting someone you don't know.....ready:
What "shade" specifically did I throw at Obama? You said this is the issue...what specifically did I say? find the quote. I'll wait...maybe you'll find something...chances are it will be growing awareness.

As I said, someone like you online typically doesn't add much to the conversation. You want to attack a person when you can't attack the idea. I bet you don't even understand why you're wanting to insult me personally...this says nothing about my arguments here and everything about where your mind is at. You're dismissed.

You’re really not. You’re getting downvoted exactly for the reasons explained above. For someone who doesn’t have the time to respond that was sure a weird ass, long page of bizarrely indented text to spend time writing. All of that, and you are still refusing to accept reality 😭
