Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.)

Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence. November 4, 2026

Is there a difference between our normal LLMs that everyone is using and what she's calling superintelligence?

    It's the bullshit new terminology the Cheeto thought up with his half a braincell.

    Yes the former is slop and exists and the latter is science fiction and does not exist. AI companies especially Anthropic have been pushing a narrative, even though they know better that LLMs are on a path to becoming conscious and smarter than humans, because that would mean they really could eventually replace all human labor, which they have to do for the AI companies' insane valuations to make sense. Amodei has been scaremongering and crying wolf about sentient rogue super-ai being right around the corner as a marketing tactic. Well-meaning politicians, dissapointingly including Bernie, have fallen for it, because politicians don't understand tech enough to effectively legislate on it but try anyway.
