It's actually worse than this sounds -- all $200k of new money is just interest from their bank. Zero new donations.
Leading the Future isn’t just toxic with voters, it’s toxic with its own donors. First OpenAI’s President backed away from a commitment to give another $25M, then their only Dem donor said he regrets supporting them. Now their filing shows the money is drying up altogether.
Typical Big AI behavior: "The rules don't apply to us and we're entitled to operate in the shadows". 80% of Americans disagree and that's why their donors are running for the hills and their vendors and candidates don't want to be publicly associated with them.
A consulting agency in Nevada has received millions of dollars from one of the biggest pro-AI super PAC networks ahead of November’s midterms.
The problem? The company doesn’t seem to exist. wired.com/story/the-biggest-…
This is the kind of bold ambitious AI agenda that all candidates should be putting forward. Voters are looking for leadership on this issue and want candidates who make it clear that they'll stand up to the AI industry.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan is the first Democrat running in a battleground Senate race to publicly call for a pause on artificial intelligence development.

They should probably start caring about the backlash.
NEWS: @JayCarney told me that his new boss, Democratic megadonor and venture capitalist @RonConway, regrets his previous donation to the AI industry Super PAC Leading the Future.
Leading the Future was started to scare candidates from speaking out in favor of AI regulation.
Instead, it's become so politically toxic its own donors don't even want to be associated with it.

Democrats, candidates endorsed by LTF specifically.... what are you waiting for?
“Ron, if he had to do that over again, he wouldn’t make that donation [to Leading the Future],” Carney said in an exclusive interview with Decoded, referring to the pro-AI industry super PAC"

NEW POLL with @GuardrailsNow:
Voters in Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio say they are less likely to vote for a candidate who takes money from AI companies.
On net, that penalty is larger than the penalty for voting to cut billions from Medicaid.

AI companies claim they are curing cancer and bringing about a future of abundance. But you can learn a lot by listening to everything they say, not just the utopia part. OpenAI's own definition of AGI is "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work." That sounds a lot more like dystopia to me.
Why do people hate AI money in politics and not trust AI companies? Maybe because the companies themselves are telling us their product will take our jobs.
Our spokesperson former Indeed CEO Chris @hyams lays out what OpenAI's mission is in their own words.

Just how toxic is AI money? New polling w/ @DataProgress shows 3/4 of voters less likely to support a candidate backed by an AI super PAC, a bigger impact on vote share than a candidate who voted to cut billions from Medicaid or supports a nationwide abortion ban. More below 👇

New: Guardrails Action is out with polling shared first with @BGOV finding that taking AI industry cash could be a political liability with voters in swing states. They hope it will counter fears candidates may have about taking a tough line on AI news.bgov.com/bloomberg-gove…
People are pissed off, and they're ready for big, ambitious ideas to address the economic impacts of AI. We found over 70% support across the entire electorate for a jobs guarantee and guaranteed health to mitigate the impact of job loss caused by AI.

All 2028 candidates should be bringing *big* ideas to the fore right now- the stakes are enormous, and growing fears about AI are deeply connected to the state of the world and the economy. The opportunity is building support for solutions that meet the scale of the problem
NEW: Sen. Ruben Gallego tells @NBCNews he’s “absolutely thinking about” running for president in 2028.
This morning, the Arizona Democrat is rolling out his economic agenda, dubbed, “Saving the Middle Class and Restoring the American Dream.”
