Stop AI🛑

Stop frontier AI development, ban AGI & ASI, and bring Big Tech under direct citizen’s oversight. Protect democracy, freedom, creativity, humanity, and nature.

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.

The Stop AI trial is finally happening!

Wynd Kaufmyn is being prosecuted for blocking the front door to OpenAI's offices.

But Wynd argues that her actions were necessary to prevent a greater threat: human extinction.

🧵

[Stop AI🛑 @StopAI_Info]

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.

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.

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!

[AI Notkilleveryoneism Memes ⏸️ @AISafetyMemes]

Al-Qaeda used ChatGPT to plan Delhi blast

They asked questions like 'how to make a rocket and what should be the ratio of the mixture'

Today, bombs that kill 15.

Tomorrow, super-pandemics that kill 1.5 billion?

This is an OBVIOUS and SERIOUS, IMMINENT risk that nobody is talking about or preparing for, which is insane.

Remember, even if leading AI models refuse most requests like this, 1) they can easily be jailbroken, and 2) there are open weights models - only slightly-dumber - that *won't* refuse.

And since capability doubling times are now ~2-4 months, these models will soon be 10-100x more capable than they are now at helping crazies cause destruction.

What the hell are we waiting for to act?

Why the hell is this industry still regulated less than a taco cart?

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

@lydianmodal You don't have to like CFC's.

You don't have to use CFC's.

But you can't ban CFC's because it makes you uncomfortable.

...oh, wait, we did and everything was fine actually and we're all better off.

[Stop AI🛑 @StopAI_Info]

@BenjaminPDixon These are great priorities!

Something else to keep on your radar: the race to create AI capable of improving itself without human input, often called "recursive self improvement" or RSI.

@xriskology @Bannons_WarRoom The dark enlightenment coalition is beginning to fracture under it's own weight. Are they tired of "winning" yet?

[Stop AI🛑 @StopAI_Info]

@brandoninNY @HumanWatchVsAI Here's one example: https://t.co/Bz6rH9SnPK

[AI Notkilleveryoneism Memes ⏸️ @AISafetyMemes]

"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."

[Stop AI🛑 @StopAI_Info]

Throughout this trial, we have been working to make sure the world knows: Whoever wins here, humanity still loses.

[WIRED @WIRED]

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."
