TL;DR
- OpenAI and Anthropic are spending millions in a political proxy war over AI regulation in New York's 12th congressional district.
- Attacks by the OpenAI-backed Leading the Future super PAC against candidate Alex Bores have inadvertently boosted his profile and made him a front-runner.
- Bores, who authored early AI regulatory legislation, was targeted by millions in attack ads, which his campaign views as an in-kind donation.
- The super PAC's efforts have raised public awareness of AI safety and Bores's stance, leading to increased support for his candidacy.
- The conflict has drawn national media attention, further amplifying Bores's message and differentiating him from other candidates.
