San Francisco Resident Guido Reichstadter, 45, is leading a hunger strike to stop Anthropic from further developing artificial general intelligence. He is joined by other through his organization Stop AI, a “non-violent civil resistance organization” trying to stop the development of AGI and ASI (Artificial SUPER Intelligence).
Reichstag warned, “Experts are warning us that this race to ever more powerful artificial general intelligence puts our lives and well being at risk, as well as the lives and well being of our loved ones. They are warning us that the creation of extremely powerful AI threatens to destroy life on Earth. Let us take these warnings seriously.”

Excerpt:
45-year-old Guido Reichstadter has been camped outside Anthropic’s San Francisco offices for just over a week now, during which time he has not consumed any food. He told Business Insider that he plans to stay there on hunger strike until the company addresses his concerns about its AI development.
In a message posted to online forum LessWrong, Reichstadter wrote, “I am calling on Anthropic’s management, directors, and employees to immediately stop their reckless actions, which are harming our society and to work to remediate the harm that has already been caused.”
Reichstadter said he has asked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to completely cease work on frontier AI development. On the first day of his protest, he delivered a letter to Amodei’s desk asking “to stop developing that technology and to do everything in his power to stop the race that he’s participating in.”
