The AI industry is pouring millions into US elections

4 hours ago

The Blood in the Machine show pilot is launching, focusing on the AI industry's spending to influence elections.
Reasons for starting the show include reader demand for audio content and the need to document growing resistance against big tech and AI.
The first guest is Molly White, discussing AI and crypto money in politics and her Tech Influence Watch project.
The show is produced by Ryan Hodes, with support from Kate Osborn, Koren Shadmi, Salman Al-Rashid, and others for music and engineering.
It's a soft launch with video and podcast formats, aiming to reach a wider audience and incorporate media elements like protest clips.
The written newsletter continues, but this week's edition is paused due to the show launch preparation.
Listeners are encouraged to support BITM through paid subscriptions to sustain independent tech journalism.
