Horowitz's Dual Support Reveals AI Politics in Silicon Valley

• Influential VC Ben Horowitz shows dual support for Trump and Harris, reflecting AI politics in Silicon Valley.
• Horowitz personally supports Harris but believes Trump is less likely to regulate AI startups.
• High-profile tech billionaires' shift towards MAGA right is seen as transactional, based on light-touch regulatory approach to new technologies.
• Horowitz's firm, Andreessen Horowitz, is nonpartisan and sides with candidates supporting an 'optimistic technology-enabled future'.
• The firm's stance may be influenced by the high-risk, high-reward nature of AI development and the potential risks of increased government regulation.
