The powerful artificial intelligence super-political action committee voted in the mid-term election: "This is a war."

The most unpleasant relationship in big money politics is that between two super PACs with the same goal: promoting artificial intelligence.

One group is refusing to cooperate with another, even if both nominally support the same candidate in some races. Allies have even pressured members of Congress to distance themselves from others.

And what about other super PACs? You can't stop criticizing your rivals.

The remnants of the civil war include canceled ad buys, bruised egos and fearful candidates trying to hide from the gunfire.

The bad blood between super PACs comes as Silicon Valley's powerful companies compete to shape the future of AI. regulation. These groups were the two biggest spenders in this year's midterm elections, spending nearly $24 million and promising more than $100 million more.

Their financial duel is effectively a proxy war between the two biggest AIs. Enterprise, Humanity and OpenAI. One super PAC, Public First, is affiliated with Anthropic, and the other, Leading the Future, is affiliated with OpenAI.

“The two men couldn’t have a deeper contempt for each other,” said Cooper Teboe, a Democratic strategist who advises Silicon Valley donors and House campaigns. “This is a war for the future, and it will be a bloody war.”
