Greg Brockman Halts Donations Beyond Initial $25M to OpenAI-Aligned 'Leading the Future' Super PAC, Calls It a Distraction

OpenAI president Greg Brockman has no plans to donate beyond his initial $25M commitment to Leading the Future, the pro-AI super PAC co-founded with Andreessen Horowitz earlier this year, according to an internal Slack message viewed by the Times. Brockman reportedly told colleagues the PAC has become a 'distraction' at OpenAI amid intensifying scrutiny of the lab. The move signals cooling appetite among OpenAI leaders for the political-spending vehicle just months after launch.
