Bernie Sanders: Ban Superintelligence
[from NYT -
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/opinion/bernie-sanders-case-ai-policy.html]

Sept. 21, 2026

Will A.I. wipe out humanity in 10 years, 20 years — or never? I don’t know. You don’t know. But I don’t want to wait to find out.

Call me a raging conservative, but I don’t want to see a dangerous technology continue to evolve rapidly when the owners of that technology acknowledge they can’t control it and they don’t know where it’s going.

For the sake of all humanity, the United States and China must reach an agreement to stop dangerous A.I. development.

Maybe start by doing something about all the crimes the AI companies admitted to allowing after they plugged their text generators into a computer terminal.

They could hook a nuclear missile silo computer up to a hamster wheel, and leave a hamster nearby. That would also have a pretty high chance of ending the world.
