👁 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
🔴 Balaji, 26, accused the company of copyright violations in an October 2024 NYT article
🔴 He was discovered dead in his apartment in San Francisco on November 26 with medical examiner determining his death to be suicide
🔴 Stop AI believes Balaji was killed in order to prevent him from telling the truth
🔴 They cite ethical concerns about AI giants seeking to create a "superintelligent" artificial intelligence
What does Stop AI stand for?
🔴 It warns that artificial intelligence development is heading toward catastrophe, comparable to a nuclear disaster
🔴 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
🔴 It claims there is a 50% chance of AI attempting to take over within 5–20 years which would mean "lights out for all of us"
🔴 Stop AI believes Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could emerge as early as 2025, rendering humanity obsolete
🔴 It argues that the Trump administration’s $500 billion Stargate Project will accelerate AGI’s arrival

🤔Permanently ban AGI development
🤔Shut down any company working on general-purpose AI exceeding OpenAI’s GPT-4
🤔Disband firms dedicated to general-purpose AI
🤔Establish a federal agency to protect Americans from AI threats

A 65-year-old couple retiring in 2025 with average earnings will receive an estimated $1.34 million in lifetime benefits, while contributing only $720,000 in today’s dollars.
