Fordel StudiosAI companies are spending millions to thwart this former tech exec’s congressional bid
What Happened
A tech billionaire-backed super PAC is spending $125 million to undercut candidates pushing for AI regulation. New York's Alex Bores, a former tech executive himself, is one of them.
Our Take
$125M to kill a candidate isn't some backroom deal—it's regulatory capture with the lights on. Alex Bores isn't fringe; he's an actual tech exec pushing real rules, and the PAC's basically saying we'll just outspend him. That's legal. That's the whole problem.
This isn't corruption. It's worse. It's the system working exactly as designed, and everyone's fine with it. Billionaire money + citizen regulation = predictable outcome. Vote him or don't, but pretending we can have sensible AI policy while this is happening is cope.
What To Do
Research Bores' actual proposals—if they're reasonable, talk about them.
