Safety groups spent $24.65 million to the PAC’s $23.63 million.
@ShakeelHashim Wow. $16M to support Alex Bores. That's an astonishing amount of money.
🚨AI safety groups have thus far *outspent* the a16z and OpenAI backed Leading the Future in the midterms — $24.65m to $23.63m.

@ShakeelHashim
@ShakeelHashim Also I’m sure the AI safety money goes further - LTF money gets a haircut for being somewhat toxic and pushing candidates to take unpopular positions
@NathanpmYoung @AndrewSabisky I wonder about dark money though. "there's massive unrecorded spending, likely 6–7x more than what FEC data shows in recent elections". Bores himself said LTF spent $10M+ but that database only lists ~$6M for them
