Picture this: while tech bros sip lattes and dream of AGI overlords, one brave soul named Guido Reichstadter is turning Anthropic’s doorstep into his personal starvation station on day three of a hunger strike. He’s not just hangry; he’s furious about AI’s societal harms, from job-stealing bots to existential risks, demanding the race to super-smart machines screech to a halt before we all become obsolete side characters in a sci-fi flop. Forget Occupy Wall Street—this is Occupy AI HQ, complete with LessWrong manifestos and calls for remediation. Reichstadter, a dad of two and veteran protester, is joined in spirit by groups like StopGenAI, who see generative AI as the ultimate capitalist plot to ditch human labor. It’s like if Skynet threw a party and only the doomsayers showed up with empty stomachs. Who needs food when you’ve got righteous indignation?
