In their own words
Every quotation was found, word for word, in the text we saved from the source. That shows the words are there; it does not make them true, or prove the speaker meant them as quoted.
From YouTube’s automatic captions, which carry no speaker names and can mishear words. Where the speaker is known only from context, the quotation says so.
“Tech titans build bunkers while warning the artificial intelligence they're creating risks human extinction. Meanwhile, our Congress debates youth sports and the president builds a ballroom.”
“An ancient establishment barely capable of email sleepwalks into a technological revolution while the president dismantles precautions and calls us fools for worrying.”
