Voting dogs, harmless socialists, and the limits of AI

The California Post's latest edition covers three stories: the Democratic Socialists of America's growing influence with 35 primary wins, AI investor Sarah Guo's bearish outlook on big AI labs trying to build everything themselves, and a fact-check by the San Francisco Chronicle on a California dog voting incident that Republicans have used to push for stricter voting laws.

Thirty-five DSA-endorsed candidates won their primaries https://nypost.com/2026/06/23/us-news/mamdani-backed-lefties-sweep-in-nyc-congressional-primaries-as-socialist-mayors-influence-grows-to-dc/ this cycle, all while the organization gloats about “transforming society” and “drafting a new constitution.” OK. I’m no expert, but defunding the Department of War while rewriting America’s founding principles sounds like a blatant coup. Unsurprisingly, on Sunday, the New York Times published an op-ed arguing that Democrats shouldn’t cull the DSA from their ranks, as doing so would be to engage in silly “feuds over abstractions” like the “merits of capitalism and socialism.” In that case, DSA members, may I introduce you to the “abstraction” of a catapult flinging you across the border? 2. We can’t literally automate everything by Blake Dodge, writer The AI investor Sarah Guo is… bearish on AI. The way Guo — who predicted the AI boom https://nypost.com/2025/12/29/business/should-we-fear-the-ai-boom-how-it-compares-to-2000s-dot-com-bubble/ and made a killing — sees it, the big AI labs used to be satisfied with leasing out their models to other companies, so that those other companies could use the models to build cool stuff apps, businesses, etc . But now they’re trying to do it all. They want to build everything, even healthcare and legal businesses. Guo is betting they can’t, favoring instead the niche startups in the trenches healthcare AI companies https://nypost.com/2026/03/27/business/artificial-intelligence-can-now-prescribe-mental-health-drugs/ , lawyer AI companies , the ones winning the trust and revenue of the actual industries in question. And I mean… healthcare is hard Regulations are hard Unions are hard People are hard Very little of literally everything you do, at the end of the day, reduces down to the best technology, or the prediction of words on a page. Unless you code. Lol. 3. Hey, MAGA — get your paws off our democracy by Riley Nork, writer Republicans continue to freak out because one little dog voted in California, and really, they should just stop barking about it. That’s according to the SF Chronicle https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/california-dog-vote-22348108.php , which just published a helpful fact-check about the canine voting scandal, a popular talking point for Republicans like Steve Hilton. These Republicans point to the incident, in which an Orange County woman successfully registered her furry friend as a voter https://nypost.com/2026/04/18/us-news/california-woman-charged-after-registering-dog-to-vote-says-it-was-a-test/ in the state, as evidence for why California needs stricter voting laws crazy, I know . But per The Chronicle, since the woman was ultimately caught and prosecuted, “the system worked as intended” and further fraud precautions like Voter ID are unnecessary. Phew Except this woman was only caught… AFTER HER DOG’S VOTE WAS LITERALLY COUNTED IN AN ELECTION. Don’t worry, Californians — 50 Nithya Raman votes may mysteriously emerge from the local Humane Society, but rest assured the perpetrators will be caught eventually after electing your next mayor .
