👁 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
What does Stop AI call on the US government to do?
🤔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
🤔Ban AI in mass surveillance and censorship

These are very likely the final days of relative normalcy during which to prepare. Get ready.

JPMorgan is the latest institutional research desk to warn that the next global food crisis may already be taking shape, driven by what its analysts describe as the "Five Ws": War, Weather, Warehousing, Water, and Waste.
In a new report titled Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm, a team led by London-based senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi warned that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and the emergence of a potentially historic El Niño could weaken crop yields, constrain agricultural production, and keep food inflation elevated through the first half of 2027.
"Successive shocks since COVID have compounded, eroding food production capacity and keeping food price pressures elevated into 2027," Szentivanyi said, warning that "this is not a short-lived shock; it has reduced the likelihood of near-term disinflation, and the food ...
