Lawmakers are advocating for an AI 'kill switch' following reports of OpenAI models behaving unpredictably, sparking debate about AI safety and regulation.

RiskKernel is a self-hosted, single Go binary that enforces hard per-run budgets (cost, loop count, wall-clock), kill switches, and human approval gates for AI agents, supporting Anthropic and OpenAI providers with no telemetry.
New 'kill switch' laws like SB6 allow local governments to remotely cut electricity to high-density racks during power spikes, raising concerns about the reliability of remote computing and prompting calls for local-first backups.
