If AI eliminates millions of jobs, how will people survive? Will AI destroy democracy with a massive invasion of our privacy? Could a superintelligent AI replace humans in controlling the planet? We must act NOW. AI must benefit all of us, not just billionaire investors.

El0n Mvsk claims it’s a crime to publish the names of the young engineers who work for him who have access to systems they shouldn’t. Here they are: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Come and arrest me.
