In four days (July 11, 12-4pm), about ~200 of us (event link), including 13 different groups, will be marching on OpenAI, Anthropic and Google in SF asking the CEOs to commit to stop developing more powerful models if every other major AI company (and China) does the same. We're calling this The AI Protest (theprotest.ai).

We're gonna have some of the speakers from last time (Nate Soares (MIRI), David Krueger (Evitable), Will Fithian (Berkeley Professor)) but also try to get folks from different groups part of the coalition speaking too. 

As Scott Alexander puts it: "Participants are about half from our conspiracy and half from random anti-data-center-type groups, which I think is how this basically has to work, so don’t be surprised if you run into the latter."

On why we're doing this, see:

• The blurb in the stoptherace.ai website where I explain that "expects" from CEOs isn't actually committing, and why we need committments
• Ronak's post on why you should come to the protest
• My theory of change answering Katja's Pause post
• Transformers' The AI Safety Movement needs normies

In two days (March 21st, 12-4pm), about 140 of us (event link) will be marching on Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI in SF asking the CEOs to make statements on whether they would stop developing new frontier models if every other major lab in the world credibly does the same. This comes after Anthropic removed its commitment to pause development from their RSP.

We'll be starting at 500 Howard St, San Francisco (Anthropic's Office, full schedule and more info here). This is shaping to be the biggest US AI Safety protest to date, with a coalition including Nate Soares (MIRI), David Krueger (Evitable), Will Fithian (Berkeley Professor) and folks representing PauseAI, QuitGPT, Humans First.
