【聊了什么】

如果说 2022 年底 ChatGPT 的发布让 AI 走进了大众视野，那 2026 年初 Anthropic 被白宫封杀的那一周，可能就是 AI 真正走进政治的那一刻。一家商业公司因为坚持不让自己的产品用于监控和自主武器，被列上了原本只留给外国敌对势力的名单；而它最大的竞争对手，在同一天签下了五角大楼的合同。

这期节目中，我们和《新新人类》的主播一闻、硅谷投资人磊一起聊了AI是如何变成最烫手的政治问题的：红线到底该由谁来画？当 Super PAC 开始用 AI 的钱打中期选举、当数据中心让红州蓝州的电价一起上涨、当美国公众对 AI 的反感度已经跌穿地板——AI 的"核弹时刻"到底是技术奇点，还是政治奇点？我们也顺便聊了聊中美在这件事上正在经历的两种截然不同的现实。

【 What We Talked About】

If the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 was the moment AI entered the public consciousness, then the week in early 2026 when Anthropic was blacklisted by the White House may well be the moment AI entered politics. A commercial company, for refusing to let its product be used for surveillance and autonomous weapons, was placed on a list previously reserved for foreign adversaries — while its biggest competitor signed a Pentagon contract the very same day.

In this episode, we sit down with Yiwen, host of Pixel Perfect, and Lei, a Silicon Valley investor, to unpack how AI became the most politically charged issue of the moment. Who gets to draw the red lines? When Super PACs start spending AI money to swing the midterms, when data centers push up electricity bills across red and blue states alike, when American public sentiment toward AI has fallen through the floor — is AI's "nuclear moment" a technological singularity, or a political one? We also get into the two starkly different realities the U.S. and China are living through on this front.

Recorded in early April.
