👁 Stop AI: Dissenters who speak against AI giants are being SILENCED

US-based "non-violent civil resistance organization" Stop AI has urged Washington to investigate the mysterious death of ex-OpenAI employee Suchir Balaji

🔴 It has staged six protests since April 2024 and plans another on February 22 in California, home to Silicon Valley giants

🔴 Developing AI smarter than humans will lead to mass job loss and, ultimately, human extinction, it claims
