The people: "We voted overwhelmingly in support of a candidate that spoke to us"

Bill Ackman: "I will literally spend hundreds of millions of dollars to support someone else that I handpick"

This is full on mask off behavior, they literally don't care about what voters ACTUALLY voted for

1. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman is trying to recruit a write-in candidate to run against Zohran Mamdani.

This would only help Mamdani as it would take votes away from Eric Adams.
Bill Ackman & M @BillAckman I awoke this morning gravely concerned about New York City. I thought "What has NYC become that an avowed socialist who has supported defunding the police, whose solution to lowering food prices is city-owned supermarkets, who doesn't understand that freezing rents will only reduce the supply of housing, who has no experience managing an organization --let alone a city with a $100+ billion budget and a $2 trillion economy -- and who believes chants for 'Globalizing the Intifada' are acceptable, wins the Democratic Primary. After speaking to those who supported @ZohranKMamdani, I believe that he won the primary largely not due to his policies, but rather because he is a superb politician who ran a remarkable and inspiring campaign. He is intelligent and articulate. He is young and charming, and he successfully played down incriminating @X posts and statements from his past, pitching a joyful campaign of unity. And he won because the competition was very weak. His best competitor sat back and did not run a real campaign, relying on name recognition, early favorable polling and keeping a low profile to make it through. Not a strategy that I have ever seen work, but so be it. The Democratic primary voter is clearly tired of the Democratic politics of the past and its aging and over-the-hill leadership - Who isn't? [As a case in point, how embarrassing is it to watch aging Dems fall in line with their tweets of support for Mamdani, as they desperately try to defend their seats from the far left?] And therefore, without any real competition, Zohran and his attractive personal qualities and campaign skills magically make him the candidate of the future. The problem, however, is that his policies would be disastrous for NYC. Socialism has no place in the economic capital of our country. The ability for NYC to offer services for the poor and needy, let alone the average New Yorker, is entirely dependent on NYC being a business-friendly environment and a place where wealthy residents are willing to spend 183 days and assume the associated tax burden. Unfortunately, both have already started making arrangements for the exits. Mamdani is right that much about NYC is broken. The City has gotten much less safe while the cost of living here has become increasingly unattainable for many. We pay more for less. Unfortunately, his headline campaign promises of frozen rents and cheaper food from city-owned markets, among others, are certain to fail. A mayor who disrespects the NYPD and has called for their defunding will get less effective policing, and Bratton's 'broken window theory' will operate in reverse. A mayor who condones hate speech will incentivize more hate speech and violence. Words matter, and yes, they can inspire people to kill as we have recently tragically seen in our country and around the world. New York City under Mamdani is about to become much more dangerous and economically unviable. Unlike our Federal government, NYC cannot print money, and this Federal Government won't bail NYC out if things go bad. In fact, Mamdani would be a windfall for the Republican Party as NY becomes another failed major city run by Democrats alongside Seattle, Chicago, LA, and SF et al as Senator Fetterman so eloquently stated today, "I'd describe it as Christmas in July for the GOP." So why did I become optimistic later this morning? The answer is that NYC has woken up in the last 24 hours. The substantial majority of NYC residents understand that socialism is a failed system, that rent freezes will destroy our housing base and shrink the affordable housing supply while killing new construction, and that an anti-capitalist Mayor will destroy jobs and cause businesses and wealthy taxpayers that have enabled NYC to balance the budget to move elsewhere. If 100 or so of the highest taxpayers in my industry chose to spend 183 days elsewhere, it could reduce NY state and city tax revenues by ~$5-10 billion or more, and that's just my industry. Think Ken Griffin leaving Chicago for Miami on steroids. The good news is that there are other charismatic, intelligent, articulate, handsome, charming, young yet more experienced and, importantly, more centrist politicians who are New York residents eligible for office. There are also extremely talented members of the NY business community who could be superb mayors, Bloomberg being the reference standard from the past. And the setup is extremely attractive for a run for mayor. There are only 132 days until the election, which means the commitment of time to run is de minimis. This will be the most closely watched mayoral election in NYC in decades, perhaps ever, which, particularly in the social media and podcast era creates the opportunity for a new candidate to garner immediate name recognition, enormous media interest, and the visibility needed to get elected. Importantly, there are hundreds of million of dollars of capital available to back a competitor to Mamdani that can be put together overnight (believe me, I am in the text strings and the WhatsApp groups) so that a great alternative candidate won't spend any time raising funds. So, if the right candidate would raise his or her hand tomorrow, the funds will pour in. I am sure that Mike Bloomberg will share his how-to-win-the-mayoralty IP and deliver his entire election apparatus and system to the aspiring candidate so that the candidate can focus all of his or her energy on the campaign.

Heard y'all were waiting for us. The Elevated Update is here!

🎚️ Stacked Platforms
🖨️ Print Filters
🔋 Large Battery
🪲 Assorted bugfixes
White text in the top right corner reads "Astroneer: Elevated Update." An overhead view of a small Astroneer base on Glacio, prominently featuring the new Stacked Platforms in the foreground. The Large Stacked Platform stretches high into the air to accommodate the Large Printer in action on the lower platform. An Astroneer decked out in the Diamond Set stands atop its highest point, waving to the camera. In the background, among other important pieces of the base, is an Extra Large Curved Platform housing two of the new Large Batteries, with an Oxygenator sandwiched between them. There is a white System Era logo in the bottom left corner of the image.

voice recognition AI with the goal of protecting players ≠ GenAI.

One has been a thing for quite a while, and the link you shared clearly states that they don't create voice prints, only analyze the speech to detect toxic behavior. I hate GenAI, this is not that.
