US midterms: pro-AI-safety network beats the industry's US$ 100 million super PAC
Politico (11/06) describes how a network of AI safety advocates organized on Signal defeated Leading the Future, a pro-industry super PAC launched with US$ 100 million. Bloomberg (11/07) reports that Public First, funded by Dario Amodei and others, spent more than US$ 63 million, according to the group itself, and elected 10 of the 17 congressional candidates it backed. WIRED (11/04) says Leading the Future came out of the election with just over US$ 20 million in the bank, concentrated its money in safe races and lost its bet on Darline Graham (Senate, South Carolina). Semafor (11/05) cites Guardrails Alliance, also pro-rules, with 5 wins in 5 races.
