AI safety advocates make gains after 110 million midterm fight

The Japan Times

Demonstrators against artificial intelligence hold a protest in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Candidates who favor stricter oversight of artificial intelligence racked up wins in key congressional races, aided by a pro-regulation political funding group backed in part by Anthropic at a time when Americans are increasingly uneasy over the rapidly developing technology. Public First, funded by Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei and other AI safety advocates, poured more than $63 million into the midterms to promote candidates aligned with its goal of stricter regulation, according to the group's numbers. The architects of two of the country's most sweeping state-level AI laws -- Colorado's Manny Rutinel and California's Scott Wiener -- will be among the incoming U.S. House members elected with help from Public First, bringing energy and expertise to Congress. Ten of the 17 congressional candidates the group backed were elected.

While Rod Woodson acknowledges hes an outstanding player, he says he is a vehicle of the Chiefs offense. It doesn't matter how you put a ball in the back of the net (aside from the whole no hands deal); it counts the same, but one college soccer player would probably prefer not to score too many more like this one.

Nothing Is Stopping the Flood of A.I. Political Ads

The New Yorker

Nothing Is Stopping the Flood of A.I. Political Ads They're not real, but can voters tell the difference? In August, the reëlection campaign of the North Carolina state senator Michael Lee, a Republican, released an ad attacking his Democratic opponent, a yoga-studio owner named Jessica Bichler. The ad, titled "Bonkers Bichler," seems to show Bichler, a middle-aged woman with graying straight hair, doing yoga in a well-equipped, gently lit studio. The figure onscreen is not Bichler, though; it's a hyperrealistic, animated A.I. rendering of her. The next frame shows her body twisting into an impossible knot, even as she maintains a vacant-eyed grin.

On Friday night, the former NC State quarterback was walking his son Gunner Rivers onto the field in Fairhope, Alabama, for St. Michael Catholic's senior night, where Philip has served as head coach for the past six seasons.
