14.09.2026The Day Trump Called AI Warnings a Hoax

Carrying over Trump's dismissal of slowdown calls, editors stayed on AI safety as tech stocks slid on warnings from Anthropic and OpenAI chiefs about biological and existential risks. Trump hardened his rejection, calling concerns a 'sick conspiracy' and 'hoax,' arguing regulation would let China advance and that a 'high IQ' president was sufficient guardrail while pushing faster development.

Congressional pressure built around him, with Sanders urging a treaty with China, Schumer demanding briefings, and Vance dismissing CEOs' regulation push as a Trojan horse.

Late coverage pivoted to Washington mechanics as Mitch McConnell returned in a wheelchair to cast his first vote since June, and the Supreme Court blocked Trump's mail-ballot restrictions for the midterms.
