STOP AI: Radical Protest Against AGI Development
2025-02-21
A radical group called STOP AI is actively protesting the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by companies like OpenAI. They believe AGI poses an existential threat to humanity and are calling for governments to ban its development and even destroy existing models. The group's members have diverse backgrounds, ranging from engineers to physicists, and they're employing various methods, including protests and civil disobedience, aiming to rally 3.5% of the US population to effect change. The case also involves the death of former OpenAI employee Suchir Balaji, with STOP AI demanding a thorough investigation. Despite the immense challenges, they remain determined in their fight to halt AGI development.
