Anthropic Drops $20M on Anti-OpenAI Super PAC
So, the AI industry has reached its 'Super PAC' phase of maturity. It’s truly heartwarming to see giant tech companies spending millions of dollars to argue over who is more concerned about our collective future.
Anthropic just dropped $20M to combat OpenAI's $125M push for deregulation, because apparently, the only way to save the world is to have one corporation out-spend another in the halls of Congress. Are we surprised? Not really. But it’s certainly an interesting look at the new corporate political playbook.
What’s your take—does this actually move the needle on meaningful safety legislation, or is it just the new cost of doing business?
