Choose Wisely | Last Election Before AGI? (Claude Opus 5.5 Music Video)

This November might be the last election before AI becomes smarter than us. Nobody knows for sure: some say decades, some say soon. But poll after poll, most Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike, say AI is moving too fast and want it slowed down. And yet it is still treated as one issue among many. It isn't. It's the ground under all the others: our jobs, our towns, our freedom, and whether elections still decide anything. Whatever side you're on, choose wisely, while we still get to choose.
