A study from U.S. and Chinese researchers suggests Neanderthals and early modern humans probably had similar cognitive abilities

The article criticizes former President Donald Trump for his recent comments on artificial intelligence (AI) regulation, highlighting his claim that a 'strong and smart (High IQ!) president' is all that is needed to regulate AI. The author argues that Trump's statement, which is written at a 'fourth grader's level,' is absurd and dangerous, especially given the warnings from AI experts about the potential risks of unregulated AI development. The piece references statements from prominent AI figures such as Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who have called for government regulation of AI companies. Amodei, in particular, wrote an essay urging the government to regulate AI companies and slow the pace of development due to emerging threats to human safety. The article also cites Jacob Coxon, an AI developer and researcher who resigned from Anthropic in protest, warning that AI could kill off humanity within the decade. Coxon stated that companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are mishandling known threats and racing toward self-improving superintelligence. The author points out that Trump's own cognitive abilities are questionable, referencing his history of making outlandish claims, such as suggesting injecting bleach to treat COVID-19 and claiming hurricanes could change course due to nuclear bombs. Additionally, the article details Trump's financial ties to AI and cryptocurrency ventures, including investments by his children in American Data Centers and a $6 billion merger with a firm building nuclear fusion plants to power AI data centers. The author concludes by urging readers to 'turn him into a lame duck' in the upcoming election to allow 'adults in the room' to address AI regulation properly. The piece is framed as a call to action against Trump's leadership on AI policy, emphasizing the urgency of expert-driven regulation over political rhetoric.
