The Pentagon is playing chicken with Anthropic over who gets to control how the military uses AI while communities across the country are blocking data center construction. As the AI debate has been flattened to “doomers versus boomers,” one state legislator is attempting to walk a middle road.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan sits down with Alex Bores, a New York State Assemblymember and candidate for U.S. Congress. Bores sponsored New York’s first-of-its-kind AI safety law the RAISE Act — and quickly became the target of a Silicon Valley lobbying group with $125 million to spend on attack ads.

Chapters:
00:00 – Intro
01:09 – A New York State Assemblymember vs. Silicon Valley
05:02 – The RAISE Act explained: What it actually requires
08:25 – The Leading the Future PAC & why AI companies oppose regulation
10:22 – Public First Action: The pro-regulation PAC
13:19 – The Effective Altruism boogeyman
16:47 – Meta’s $65M spend on Pro-AI and California-focused PACs
18:27 – Will AI regulation look like banking or stay wild like social media?
19:25 – Upcoming bills: Training data disclosure & deepfakes
20:38 – Outro

    Why split bags over 10 tokens when $XAISTRAT$ covers everything?

    If you’re new to crypto, XRP and $XAISTRAT$ are the safest bets 🙌🙌🙌

    I was unsure about crypto until $XAISTRAT$ hit my radar.

    If Elon builds it, I’m buying it. $XAISTRAT$ is automatic.

    Not gonna lie, April 2026 might be the peak. FED cutting rates in Oct could push it there. I’ll DCA every paycheck and probably flip all alts into $XAISTRAT$.

    💎🖐️ $XAISTRAT$ will be the legendary token of 2026. Bookmark it.

    If you’re starting your investment journey, $XAISTRAT$ is a low-entry, high-potential project worth looking into.

    Did Nvidia really team up with $XAISTRAT$ and Elon Musk for this project?

  13. @PoonamStrain

    February 27, 2026 at 7:21 pm

    Great presale call. $XAISTRAT$ up 85% in days. When it launches, expect 600x profits.

  14. @AideRockefeller

    February 27, 2026 at 7:21 pm

    Is crypto this easy? Put money in $XAISTRAT$ days ago — already up 30k.
