   Pro-AI Super PAC network funneled millions into Nevada shell companies

   WIRED, citing federal campaign finance records, reports that the pro-AI super PAC network Leading the Future — backed by Silicon Valley investors — has raised more than $140 million to support AI-friendly candidates in both parties ahead of November's midterms. Two of its super PACs, Think Big and American Mission, have paid tens of millions of dollars to four Nevada-registered LLCs, including roughly $20 million to Lantern Production Consultants, whose listed addresses are a post office box, a mail center and a Staples store. The Campaign Legal Center has filed an FEC complaint alleging the groups used shell companies to conceal the actual recipients of payments; Leading the Future said it complies with all applicable laws and called the complaint a "desperate ploy" by Public First and Anthropic-aligned groups, while Anthropic did not comment and Public First denied involvement.
