Show Notes
New York assembly member Alex Bores, running for the twelfth congressional district, faces heavy attack ads from a super PAC called Leading the Future, backed by tech insiders like Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale and OpenAI president Greg Brockman. The PAC raised $125 million to fight state AI rules and support hands-off candidates. Bores, who sponsored New Yorks RAISE Act, is targeted due to his tech background and push for transparency. Silicon Valley money is influencing state races nationwide, with Meta dropping $65 million and AI donors giving at least $83 million to federal efforts last year. Bores receives support from an Anthropic-linked PAC, arguing for balanced AI rules that prioritize safety and innovation.
