Claude analysis shows inverse correlation for California candidates
An AI analysis using Claude ranked California gubernatorial candidates by alignment with policies to reduce housing costs. The order showed a near-perfect inverse correlation with current polling averages. Zvi Mowshowitz suggested incorporating self-driving cars and broader AI factors. David Manheim replied that support for stronger AI risk regulations, including a revived SB 1047, would likely outweigh housing positions when assessing endorsements. The exchange focused on expanding evaluation criteria.
This is close but you also have to include self-driving cars and trucks (so again, reverse polling averages). And ideally AI.
@davidmanheim I mean obviously I actually care primarily about AI if there are major policy differences there but I was playing into the irony.
@TheZvi I'd bet the "Ideally AI" undersells it; if someone was campaigning on bringing back a stronger version of SB 1047, and pushing for other larger scale risk controls, but also on killing housing growth, I'm guessing you'd (reluctantly but actively) support them.
