Fantasy Factory: AI Supervillains w/ Anat Shenker-Osorio
The left has a messaging problem. Silicon Valley elites are literally making up impossible fantasies and their narratives are winning out. Why?
This week in our second episode leading to the AI Doc, we are joined by Anat Shenker-Osorio, a progressive campaign strategist who hosts the Words To Win By podcast. Anat tries to focus on the positives: if you don’t think people should join the AI party, throw a better party. She gives us some quick lessons on messaging: how to paint tech CEOs as actual villains, how to flip the script and convince AI men that actually, it’s okay to die — and how to avoid what Anat refers to as ‘Mar-a-lago face’
