You should talk to your kids about the difference between legal protest and mass civil disobedience. The first one is what is easily ignored, the second one regularly achieves major political change somewhere in the world every couple years.

Hi it’s Guido! Out here in front of Anthropic on hunger strike Day 13, going strong. Anthropic is often presented in the press as something of a responsible, safety minded AI company. In reality, they’re trying to kill you and your family. They’re racing along with OpenAI,

Hi, Guido here going strong on Day 21 hunger striking in front of Anthropic calling for an immediate end to the race to superintelligence. People in positions of authority need to raise the alarm, but we whose lives and loved ones are at stake must demand -and take- action

The Iraq war protests were the first kind. Large, cathartic, & gone the next day. Mass resistance is when 100s of thousands nonviolently enter the streets & refuse to leave untill their political demands are met, wielding power by disrupting & halting econ & gov activity.

The only way anyone wins the fight against a highly more capable AI is on move 0- you prevent it from coming into existence. That's it. And the only way you do that is through intervention in the social and political order. Act accordingly.

We couldn't walk three blocks from the bus station to the park in these shirts without 2 people stopping us to say words of support. Young kids, older folks, parents, couple, singles signing up. We're flyering daily to invite to weekly meetings because there's no time to waste.

Hi, my name is Denys Sheremet, and I've joined Michaël Trazzi on a hunger strike outside the offices of the AI company Google DeepMind in London. At the same time Guido Reichstadter is on hunger strike outside the AI company Anthropic in San Francisco. Why am I here? We are in x.com/MichaelTrazzi/…

First they ignore you then they laugh at you then they fight you Then you win. There’s no excuse! Let’s get off the benches on onto the field- this fight is ours to win.
