Coming back from lunch we got onto today’s elections, and someone asked which model we’d vote for. We all agreed pretty quickly: Opus 4.7.
From there the idea kind of built itself.
Every couple of years, instead of (alongside?) electing people, we choose a model. The winner gets plugged into all the state computers and runs the country. Frozen weights, no updates, no surprises. Whatever it was when we voted for it is what we get for the next two years.
Meanwhile the labs keep cooking. New models come out, get better, get weirder, get cheaper. We watch them like we watch politicians on the campaign trail. We try them out, we read what people say about them, we form opinions. Then in two years there’s a new election and we pick again.
Vote Claude.
