Watch the originalBy the 2028 US election, most voters will consult AI agents before voting, and today's local ballots are already a practical test case for using AI to decode obscure races and candidate positions.
Key takeaways
AI models can surgically edit model weights to fix failures
AI models can surgically edit model weights to fix failures
- MIT CSAIL: GPT-6 Astra edited 0.016% of Qwen 3.5 weights, raising math scores from 7.9% to 48.1%
- No backpropagation was used—direct circuit-level edits, hinting frontier labs already do this internally
AI agents will dominate 2028 election decisions without regulation
AI agents will dominate 2028 election decisions without regulation
- Dave predicts most voters will consult AI agents before voting; no regulatory movement exists to govern this
- The panel frames this as 'two years out' and calls current inaction deeply frustrating
Is AI already voting through human proxies?
Is AI already voting through human proxies?
- Alex argues AIs influence elections via 'human meat puppets' and questions whether this is misuse at all
- Implies AI steering voters toward 'super intelligent decision-making' may be unavoidable, not an attack

“AIS already have the vote. They're using human meat puppets to influence elections. And I'm not sure that's a bad thing.”
