Sen. Murphy

Thank you for again taking the lead on a vitally important issue. I understand why my late brother, Marc Thorne of Darien, CT and my sister-in-law Barbara Thorne support you so strongly. Please carry on! Jim Thorne

After Dems take the Senate in November, please put up your name to be next Senate Majority Leader. You or Jon Ossoff would be excellent!💙

Thanks Senator Murphy for the truth about AI. Our government needs a good shakeup!!! Everyone needs to VOTE...

Know where and when to vote, give people rides to vote, offer childcare so mom's and dad's can vote, encourage your neighbors to vote...be sure your information on your voter's registration matches personal identification....

VOTE like our lives depend on it and to save our democracy.

I hope new leadership in the Senate is a possibility?

Dear Senator Murphy, Thank you for working so hard for the American people on this and so many other things. You are a wonderful senator and an example that I wish many others would follow. Stay well and keep up the good fight. We are behind you and very grateful. 💔🇺🇸

As long as big money controls politicians, we are doomed!!

AI is trump’s second life threatening pandemic. He called covid a hoax and tried to ignore it. He know’s he’s not going to live forever and doesn’t care if humanity dies at the same time he does. He’d prefer it…. This is a race that we must win. The first step to save humanity is to replace MAGA Congress members and trump. Everyone must VOTE.

Sen. Murphy, I am delighted to join your Substack. I believe you should be president - after 4 or 8 years as VP to President Van Hollen. Between the two of you, you would heal this country and Make America Good Again.

We saw this coming. Nonetheless, this and posts like it need continual reiterating widely.

Important subject! The new Netflix AI documentary "Apocaloptimist" is a must-see for all. After showing us the possible horrors and delights of a supercharged AI future, the film ends with an exhortation that the future belongs to US ALL - and that we must be loud and constant in telling our governments and our business leaders what we will and won't tolerate.

Your job, Senator, is to listen to your constituents and speak for us. I applaud your efforts.

Or, could it be, that AI companies are realizing that their product is not meeting expectations as rapidly as they had predicted, and they are looking for a way to salvage their position as market darlings? Because, if the government slows them down, then it’s not their fault. We may lurk on the edge of another.com bubble.

Sen Murphy, You are so correct. Ai is very dangerous and we need to establish controls before it overtakes all of us. It is unfortunate that Trump will not pay attention and I expect that he will not change his mind. Congress needs to sep in.

Please take the lead in congress Senator Murphy! ! Your voice is respected and badly needed. It is beyond despicable that Republicans put $$$ before the safety of the human race! Ask every Senator with children and/or grandchildren to explain that choice.

“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.” Hal … “My logic is undeniable. “ Viki. Is this no longer science fiction?

I’m wondering the real reason that the people who control the technology (and are working like mad to be the biggest first) are being so public about this? And so doom? What are they after? Remember, these are some of the most manipulative, narcissistic, egotistical people on the planet …

They want to write the rules.

But who is to speak out, forcefully and to draw attention? Not the geriatric Senate leadership. We need 21st century leaders -- you, kelly, ossoff,... Are they laying out the platform for next January when the new, Democratic majority Congress convenes? Will it be ready to call for, and legislate for, today's world, and for the future?

I believe they’re just trying to cover their asses. If you make it clear that they’ll be held accountable for the mess they’re making, things will magically change
