Inside the $265mn war over who writes America’s AI rules Silicon Valley rivals in spending blitz for control of Congress and state capitols

"Groups campaigning for and against more AI regulation are amassing at least $265mn in collective financial firepower, according to FT analysis. This is $100mn more than the main parties’ fundraising vehicles for House elections had raised by this time in 2022."

Is it hypocritical for news publishers to complain about tech companies’ platforms — but still be on them? Or is it just an acknowledgement that their interests sometimes align?

Sleeping with the enemy …

Must be good then!

No!!
