What they will learn instead: fabricate another character that is superficially a bit like Mamdani, functionally corporate like Obama.
Will it work? Probably not. But they will try again.
@pikesley @vruz @waldo.net Exactly. They’ll learn the wrong lesson. They’ll think it’s his personality and public speaking mannerisms that won, and look for a Mamdani-shaped robot for the next one.
Exactly right. They'll keep looking.
