    @rcbregman Hi 👋 I'm the guy they are trying to destroy. The best way to ensure other electeds also stand up for us is to show them that running on reasonable AI regulations wins. Follow along to help support!

    Correction: Altman's greed and dishonesty is *already* backfiring on him. He has lost trust, star employees, and 2.5 million customers and counting.

    @rcbregman @GaryMarcus I think this ends up backfiring on these guys. Money only works for so long. The will of people matters more.

    So a co-founder of Palantir is funding political attack ads against a guy pushing for AI regulation, who used to work at Palantir, using the fact that he worked at Palantir against him.  —  (FWIW, I think Bores has some very bad regulation ideas, but still...)  —  www.politico.co…

    Great article on underbelly of a Big Tech Super PAC, shamelessly spending millions of dollars to defeat a guy running for congress.  The goal isn't just to defeat him, but send a message.
