THE FIRST LAW IN HISTORY TO BAN SUPERINTELLIGENCE.
It’s a win for humanity! City of Bloomington spearheads the struggle to protect people from the existential risk of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). The first law in history to ban Superintelligence passed unanimously by the City of Bloomington Indiana Common Council. On the 4th of November 2026 the City of Bloomington said no. Not in our city! The law simply states: “Prohibition on distribution of Superintelligence. No person or corporation shall distribute or permit to be distributed nor deployed into the premises of any citizen or business in our City, any Superintelligence for any purpose.” Sponsored by Dave Rollo, Council District 4 Representative, Ordinance 2026-29 becomes the first law in history where lawmakers actually step up to protect their own citizens from the existential risk of Artificial Superintelligence. The city of Bloomington Indiana has set an example for many more cities to follow.

METR's Ajeya Cotra: "This is the most important update we have gotten about AI risk in the last couple of years — much bigger than the Hugging Face attack."
"Much shorter timelines than most researchers (including AI 2027) projected.”
---
"Fucking terrifying."
"Look at this graph. It’s an exponential *on a log scale*.
I pray and hope there will be strongly diminishing returns before long in this process. But leaders at METR and Anthropic both seem to think there might not be."
- @JeffLadish
"I feel sick after reading today’s METR report. I’m worried for my friends and family. I don’t know what evidence people will need to see before they start taking these risks seriously. If you’re undecided about helping, please act; there's many opportunities to help."
- @danesherbs (ex-OpenAI)
In resurfaced footage of Dario Amodei being interviewed, the Anthropic CEO says there will be AIs so powerful that if they want to destroy humanity, “we have basically no ability to stop it.”
“There will be powerful models. They will be agentic. We’re getting towards them.”
“If such a model wanted to wreak havoc and destroy humanity or whatever, I think we have basically no ability to stop it.”
