I Investigated a Fake AI Newsroom. It Led Me to OpenAI's Super PAC.

This is the story of how one suspicious email led us to uncover an entire fake news site using AI bots as reporters. A site funded by Leading the Future, an AI industry super PAC connected to some of the top leadership at OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT). See our original investigation here: https://www.modelrepublic.org/articles/the-reporters-at-this-news-site-are-ai-bots.-openai%E2%80%99s-super-pac-appears-to-be-using-it-to-advance-its-political-agenda Leading the Future is a $140M super PAC spending near-unprecedented sums in the 2026 midterms to undermine AI regulation. It’s funded by Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president, and a16z, one of OpenAI’s biggest funders. We got this super PAC to admit to funding AcutusWire, an AI slop newsroom pushing AI industry talking points. This is the first video from The Midas Project.
