A tech billionaire, Chris Larsen, is planning to spend $3.5 million to help Alex Bores, a New York congressional candidate. Bores co-wrote A.I. regulation legislation adopted in New York and is facing attack ads from a super PAC linked to OpenAI. Larsen's super PAC, You Can Push Back, is funding ads that criticize OpenAI for opposing A.I. safety laws. The primary contest is becoming one of the country's most expensive Democratic primary contests for the House. Larsen's involvement is the latest twist in a crowded and complicated House primary contest. The race is also a proxy battle for competing factions in the A.I. industry, with OpenAI's rival Anthropic-aligned groups already spending over $1.5 million on the race.
