Think Big PAC claims Anthropic outspent it backing Bores

Think Big PAC posted attacks on New York Assembly candidate Alex Bores. Clustered reposts appeared on X from accounts showing low engagement and unrelated promotional text. Observers linked the pattern to paid promotion and prior amplification by the same accounts. Think Big PAC responded that Anthropic and associated investors directed greater spending in support of Bores than the PAC had used. The exchange is part of ongoing AI-linked political spending in New York races focused on safety policy.

Why are so many of this AI Super PACs reposts here attacking Alex Bores so spammy looking? My guess is it seems like they paid X to promote this post and the engagement is mostly not from people who care about AI policy. Their history of astroturfing also seems relevant...

When you see a question like "Is OpenAI’s super PAC paying for an army of Twitter bots to engage with their content?" of course you already know the answer...
