Think Big, the AI industry super PAC, spent another $2.1 million this week in #NY12 primary opposing Alex Bores, mostly on TV ads.

That brings the Leading the Future affiliate's total opposing Bores to $6.3 million, bankrolled by OpenAI, a16z, et al. Early voting starts June 13.

I won't be ranking Bores, nor Schlossberg NOR Conway. I will miss Jerry Nadler. #primary #primaries2026 #primaries #nyc #ny #ny12 #newyork #newyorkcity #vote #election2026 #election #elections

EDIT: It's not a ranked choice vote LOL! I forgot we don't get them for federal elections. Such bullshit. I won't be coting for any if the mentioned clowns.

AI COMPANIES TRIED TO BURY THIS POLITICIAN — NOW PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY HEARD OF HIM

When Dem primary for #NY12 wraps up, #Anthropic & #OpenAI will've spent millions on battling the political future of AI: who gets to regulate it, or who will be punished for trying to regulate it. The real winner of their feud is the guy they’re currently fighting: a once-obscure NY state assemblyman, who they’ve Streisand-effected into becoming the poster child for AI safety regulation

"The 33-year-old grandson of President John F. Kennedy, running in one of the most closely watched Democratic congressional primaries in the country to represent New York’s 12th District, is announcing on Sunday afternoon a two-part proposal he calls the “No Pay PrEP & PEP Plan,” which his campaign describes as a first-of-its-kind national effort to make HIV prevention drugs completely free at the point of care. Central to the plan is a head-on confrontation with Kennedy, his first cousin and the Trump administration’s secretary of Health and Human Services, over what Schlossberg calls a catastrophic rollback of federal HIV prevention funding."
