Submission + - Industry financed political hitmen push AI/LLM agenda (politico.com)
noshellswill writes: Lawmakers supporting government controls on AI/LLM systems are explicitly being hunted. Operatives like Zac Moffatt and Josh Vlasto — one a Republican, the other Democrat — financed by IT companies through PACs throw millions of dollars into campaign funding to advance those candidates rejecting AI control , and against those supporting legal constraints. No concern for actual "value" of AI for industry or individual users. The LLM-folks are directly grasping for political power damn the consequences.
