Briefings

In November 2026, host Rob Wiblin argues that the new Congress faces a critical window to prevent AI disaster, noting that Democrats won a significant vote share in the 2026 election. Wiblin highlights that while AI legislation is not yet at the required supermajority levels to override a veto, several immediate legislative options exist, including requiring model weight security, restoring chip export controls, and protecting whistleblowers. Wiblin emphasizes that current measures are insufficient and suggests the slogan 'ban superintelligence' as a potential path forward, though he notes that halting data center construction alone is not enough without expert oversight.
