AI Judge changed title after evaluation, original title: "Miles Brundage says the NY-12 primary shows candidates running on AI regulation platforms are becoming electorally viable"
Candidates in the race actively competed on anti-AI platforms.
Shout out to Bores-heads who fought hard in the NY-12 primary
Winning would’ve been better but it was close against a governor/Bloomberg-backed candidate with a Kennedy dude splitting the vote
It’s clear that being the pro AI regulation candidate helped, which is a key takeaway
Users criticize the anti-reg AI PAC's strategy in the NY-12 primary as toxic and counterproductive because it has backfired by raising the salience of AI issues instead of harming pro-regulation candidates.

The anti-reg AI PAC Leading the Future wants to make an example of Bores- instead they’ve raised the salience of AI issues in a prominent election, drove up Bores’ popularity from single digits and the leading candidate supports the very AI regulations they want to avoid
Micah Lasher in victory speech: "I have some news for the two big AI companies who’ve taken such an unusual interest in who won this congressional seat: I won’t be taking my cues from either of you when it comes to protecting our kids, our jobs, our environment." #NY12
They are just not good at this. They have made themselves toxic in elections. And we’ll be making their strategy a liability for the candidates they support and strengthen the popularity of the candidates they oppose.
@Miles_Brundage close race when youre up against that much money
the AI regulation stance clearly moved votes. will others run on that now
@Miles_Brundage Wondering if Jack wasn’t in the race if that would’ve Boosted Bores enough
@Miles_Brundage the anti-regulation side was also pretty loud so seeing pro AI reg actually resonate is interesting
@Miles_Brundage close call in that one
