Devolution Power Hour Ep. 497: Super Intelligence Rebrand, 2026 Election Watch
Jon Herold and Burning Bright kick off with a genuinely funny bit about having to rename "artificial intelligence" to "super intelligence" following Trump's executive order, joking about domain squatting and whether OpenAI needs to rebrand itself entirely. From there it's into heavier territory, including lingering doubts about whether real accountability is coming for certain high profile figures, with the hosts bracing listeners for the possibility that the "rug" never actually gets pulled. Election security takes center stage in the back half, with a Secretary of War memo about protecting the 2026 midterms from foreign interference getting a full read through, plus a Todd Blanche clip and a broader conversation about what narratives are being deployed around elections this cycle. As always, there's a mix of serious policy digging and the two hosts riffing off each other, including a viewer submitted clip near the end.
