This was clearly meant as an ableist insult and a eugenics dogwhistle, but we aren't offended by the comparison. The people in that video are doing the work, and that's what we're all about.
Recently, one of our members was convicted for peacefully blocking the doors of Open AI. That's why these dark money networks are targeting us and trying to intimidate us. It's not going to work. We will continue to help build a movement that welcomes all people who are concerned about AI.
We applaud this reporting from @tyler_johnston and @TaylorLorenz.

After @tyler_johnston and my scoop revealing that this meme account and another were secretly run by Leading the Future/Build American AI, they've stopped posting altogether and begun cleaning up the page (this post has now been deleted)

A few months ago, I found an anonymous sockpuppet account linked to the OpenAI/a16z super PAC. Now, @TaylorLorenz and I have uncovered two more — and they're even more brazen than the first.

A software engineer was granted a religious exemption from using AI at work. Legal experts say others may follow now that the Pope has raised concerns about the tech's impact on humanity. bit.ly/4dZNXiF

🚨 AI FrontPage Exclusive
Civil Disobedience Against AI- The Misdemeanor of Wynd Kaufmyn
Kaufmyn, a former educator and anti-AI activist had chained shut the doors of OpenAI.
Now she's on trial — and she's not pleading not guilty. She's arguing it was necessary.
Wynd Kaufmyn of the activist group @StopAI_Info faces up to a year in jail.
Her "necessity defence" asks the jury to decide whether the threat of artificial superintelligence is imminent enough to justify breaking the law.
It's civil disobedience borrowed straight from the Gandhi–King playbook — courting arrest, turning the trial itself into the stage.
We spoke to AI researcher @DavidSKrueger to understand why this is a historic trial in U.S.

Good ideas, but this won't stop AI from taking all the jobs.
We need to stop making more powerful AI immediately.
We don't have time to waste on piece-meal band-aid solutions.

Tech execs are saying AI will create a "permanent underclass."
Not on my watch. We need to:
Close loopholes rewarding AI over workers.
Wealth tax—CEOs shouldn't pay a lower rate than workers.
Tax AI data centers.
AI's success belongs to everyone.

AI GOES ON TRIAL
For the first time in history, the courts will be asked about the danger artificial superintelligence poses to humanity.
Experts including the world’s foremost AI scientists and OpenAI’s own founders say AI systems pose the risk of catastrophic harm to society, including near term human extinction. Members of Stop AI were charged for blocking the doors of OpenAI offices, in an attempt to protect humanity from these threats.

In a historic, first-of-its-kind trial, a member of the group StopAI is facing charges for blockading the doors of OpenAI, a leading company in the global race to develop “Artificial General Intelligence” (AGI) and “Artificial Superintelligence” (ASI), AI that would match or exceed human capabilities across the board and which experts believe could lead to human extinction within a matter of years.
AI companies including OpenAI, xAI, Google Deepmind, Anthropic, and Meta are racing to build such AI systems despite the risks, and ASI is the stated goal of OpenAI.
OpenAI’s AI, ChatGPT, has already been implicated in user suicides and mass shootings, demonstrating its potential for lethal harm. Mass layoffs, AI psychosis, war crimes, dystopian levels of surveillance, and loss of human control are growing threats from AI likely to culminate in catastrophic harms.
Sam Altman, CEO of Open AI was served a subpoena by the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office on November 3, 2025 on stage with Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr. While that subpoena was for another defendant whose case has since been separated from Ms. Kaufmyn’s, Mr. Altman will likely be summoned again once the trial begins and more facts are known.
Ms. Kaufmyn argues her actions were necessary to prevent imminent harm from OpenAI’s pursuit of Artificial Superintelligence. Notable UC Berkeley AI professor Stuart Russell is expected to provide expert testimony at the trial. The necessity defense was used in 2018 when a Boston Municipal Judge acquitted 13 climate activists who blocked a fracked gas pipeline. The judge found the activists not guilty on the basis of necessity.
“As a scientist, I know that we can never have experimental evidence before building ASI that shows it will stay safe forever. Hence we must enact a permanent global ban of all research and development projects to build it.” – Wynd Kaufmyn, defendant
“We call on all members of the global public to join in nonviolent direct action to immediately halt these projects everywhere.” – Guido Reichstadter, Stop AI co-founder who recently climbed the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in protest of Iran war and AI
“The threat of human extinction from AI is real and urgent. OpenAI is openly racing towards a point of no return, and must be stopped immediately.” – AI Professor David Krueger
This trial will be the first time in human history where a jury of peers are asked to weigh in regarding the catastrophic threats that AI poses to humanity.

If you're not already aware, one of the most important political fights unfolding rn is in NY-12:
An OpenAI-funded super PAC has pledged to spend $10M to keep Alex Bores out of Congress because he wants to regulate AI.
We need to stop them.
If you live in NY-12, vote Bores!

"Sometimes people outside AI say things like 'it can't be that bad, there must be experts on top of it.'"
"As 'an expert', I would like to be clear we are *not* on top of it."
"We are on track for human extinction/permanent disempowerment, possibly within the next few years."

Sometimes people outside the field say things like “The AI situation can’t be that bad, there must be experts who are on top of it”. As “an expert”, I would like to be clear that we are *not* on top of it. Some key aspects of the situation IMO:

Frontier AI technology is dangerous.
It has already killed people.
If it becomes uncontrollable, it could kill us all.

Throughout this trial, we have been working to make sure the world knows: Whoever wins here, humanity still loses.
An attorney for OpenAI, had said last week that Musk’s lawsuit and the ensuing trial had been a “gloriously” played out "pageant of hypocrisy.” Musk, under court order not to tweet during the trial, has said little about it in recent weeks.

"Nothing about this trial [...] will change the imperial drive of these companies to consolidate ever-more data and capital, terraform the Earth, exhaust and displace labor, and embed themselves deep within the state to gain leverage over its apparatuses of violence."
