sets up an alternative for generative ai. the whole notion, and part of this came from the head of research at ibm, who said, ibm is too small to compete with these big guys. now that elon has raised $6 billion we are thinking about, how do we create one that is accessible to university researchers, to academics, students, and businesses? the so-called democratization of ai? also to the extent possible deals with a lot of the bias problems that are natural in any ai database. we know you cannot get all bias out of anything, but going in with an open mind, especially about gender and race bias, will be important. the owner of this act is the

national science foundation. sam altman has bragged that gpt-4 was created by scanning all 6 trillion words off of the internet. but you know that all 6 trillion words are not actually true or accurate or healthy, of course. one of the other important bills comes out of all of the deepfakes, and not just political deepfakes, like donald trump hugging anthony fauci or joe biden telling people not to vote in new hampshire. there is one high school teacher in florida who took pictures out of the yearbooks of the kids and just did a ton of child sexual assault videos and photographs of these kids. taylor swift, the most famous victim of these deepfakes, for sexual material, it turns out alexandria ocasio-cortez, it also happened to her and she

worked with a lot of the experts to put together the defiant act. which passed unanimously in july. one of the first bills we will probably take up in november. surprisingly, before now it is not illegal to do a sexual deepfake of a classmate or friend or ex-boyfriend. so this protection is very necessary. >>, rissman buyers is saying the house will debate artificial intelligence legislation when they return inovember. that is addition to government fundg. federal spding expires september 20 -- november 20. you can watch coverage of the house on c-span. >> since>> c-span is your unfiltered view of government. we are funded by these television companies and more, including cox. >> when connection is needed most, cox is there to help. bringing affordable internet to families in need.

democratic by the nonpartisan cook political report with amy walter. ♪ obama is among those speaking at a rally for kamala harris. live coverage on c-span. >> wow. what a crowd. i have one question for this crowd, are you ready to win? are you ready to elect kamala harris and tim walz? and are you ready to help me win this united states senate seat? all right. now, isn't it great to have president barack obama with us tonight? i'm going to introduce him in a

moment. i've got a couple things to say first. we are so grateful you are here tonight. you are here tonight because you love our country. that is why you are here tonight. and i cannot thank you enough for loving your country enough to be here with us tonight. this is a fight this year about a lot of key issues for families. but i think at the core of this campaign, at the national level, here in pennsylvania, it is a fight about two rings. the first is rights. the fight for voting rights, women's rights, workers rights. all on the line. but this is also a fight about working families, about working together to help our working families to lower costs, to fight the fentanyl crisis, and to take care of the most

vulnerable among us. our kids, seniors, people with disabilities, helping our veterans. that is what we do as democrats. now, i've got something to say about my opponent, a couple of things. my opponent is a former hedge fund ceo. and he told some lies in this campaign. he lied about living in pennsylvania when he was living in connecticut. he lied about how he grew up. he said he came from nothing. that is what he said. he had a pretty good upbringing, like i did. we were lucky to have strong families and to grow up with a lot of advantages. he should tell a different story about that. he also lied about creating jobs in pennsylvania, when he

outsourced jobs from pennsylvania to india and china. he should not lie about that. he also lied -- well, we just get past that. you know, this is a candidate who did not vote in pennsylvania for 15 years. while we are here in pennsylvania working for the people, working altogether like we all were, he was somewhere else in connecticut. you know what he was doing when he was in connecticut as a hedge fund ceo? investing in china, not pennsylvania. hear me out on this. he increased investments in china by 108,000% when he was ceo. he invested in the company in china that made 90% of fentanyl. he invested in chinese oil companies and steel companies. he invested in companies making bombers and missiles to help

china's military. when he did all of that, he was hurting our country and hurting the people of pennsylvania. that is what he was doing. boo is right. you know what he also bet against? when he was making investments, he bet against american steel companies, not bedding for american steel companies. -- betting for american steel companies. i want you to know, he has plans if you were to be successful. his plan is to give big tax breaks for you guessed it, the billionaires, the people making a lot of money, and the biggest corporations in the world. you know what happens when they do that? they put medicare, medicaid, and social security on the chopping block. we are not way to do that in america. we are not going to cut those programs to give billionaires a tax cut.

now, these out-of-state billionaires know that i won't vote for the tax cuts. i have already proven that. i voted against the billionaire tax cuts of 2017. so they are mad at me that i am going after them on corporate greed as well. you know what they are doing? we are spending more than $100 million to defeat me in this race. well i got news for those billionaires. i am going to beat david mccormick and i am going to beat those billionaires. [cheers and applause] yep. now, i need you to help me. i need you to help me. go to bobcasey.com and help us to fight off those billionaires. we are grateful you are here tonight, because tonight we are here to focus on the future. the future of our commonwealth and our country. and tonight as well, we are honored tonight to welc
