Like when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
It is definitely true that money can influence elections, but you either want to have the tailwinds of public support for you to amplify or be spending on an issue where no one is paying attention.
This is part of why the pro-crypto PAC fair shake has been so successful.
I think they had like a 90% candidate success rate in 2024, which is absurd and honestly very impressive.
But crypto is a low salience issue that is not driving people to the polls anytime soon.
So in that case, suspending actually does make a huge difference on the margin and can reliably spook candidates into submission.
And A16Z is one of the top funders of FairShake.
OpenAI is Chris Lehane, who runs the global affairs team, literally helped set up FairShake after his time at Airbnb.
Josh Flasto, who runs Leading the Future, he was an advisor to FairShake.
So it's the exact same architects who seem to think that they can just like
get the gang back together and run the same playbook and get the same results.
This is fundamentally not an AGI-pilled strategy.
Honestly, it's funny how often you can completely demystify why some person is acting a certain way if you just model them as not being sufficiently AGI-pilled.
Because the stuff that LTF is doing, this is not what you would do if you saw the writing on the wall that AI is going to be a big deal politically.
If you saw the writing on the wall from the fact that the public is souring on AI already and wants more regulation, and there are very obviously going to be politicians coming to ride that wave who are way more adversarial to the industry than the extremely sensible and high-context Alex Boras.
As you would expect, it seems like there are already
some cases of candidates who have actually seen a boost in name recognition and fundraising from all of the LTF spending against them.
So I would say that it actually seems like some of these super PACs that are spending big against regulation look more and more like a paper tiger day by day, and we're not too threatened by their involvement.
It is the fastest growing issue right now in terms of salience, but there still is that delta there.
And I think it will take a while before voters are like super motivated to go vote for one candidate or the other based on differences in their positions on AI.
