building a grassroots movement for AI safeguards with Humans in Control

[Jon Warnow @jwarnow]

the emerging grassroots movement on AI is trying to change this and give lots of clear ways to plug in!

this saturday alone we have the AI Reality Check: https://t.co/Jtw5Y6DlEf

and big marches in major cities! https://t.co/6LtSa4FslV

so many orgs exist now that move beyond panic and help regular people do meaningful work: @ir_replaceable_ , @realhumansfirst , @ControlAI , @PauseAI, @BlueDotImpact, @80000Hours...and my org, @HumansInControl !

[Jon Warnow @jwarnow]

for a long time, i've held a belief that nobody really cares about website launches/re-launches except for people at the org/company itself. big announcements about website launches always seem kinda cringe to me....like...nobody cares but you?

and maybe this is 100% true! if so...thanks for bearing with me and please carry on with your day.

[Jon Warnow @jwarnow]

so we just overhauled our homepage for @HumansInControl and i want to explain a few of the big changes we made...and get some feedback from all of you!

first up, here's the new "hero" section up top.

[Jon Warnow @jwarnow]

anyway, we hope that this is a good overview of what we believe and what we're doing at @HumansInControl and helps people get informed and involved.

we just launched this and are sure to make tweaks in the days/weeks ahead. feedback welcome! and special shout-out to @wsturgeon_ for his tireless work on this (and so many other projects) for @HumansInControl

[Jon Warnow @jwarnow]

@rutgerbregman One thing people can do is join a growing grassroots movement! We're working on that over at @HumansInControl, there's something everyone can do!

@METR_Evals @ajeya_cotra @DKokotajlo @eli_lifland @HumansInControl if we actually want to win, we need to remember that we have no time to lose.

[Jon Warnow @jwarnow]

this was a crazy week in AI, but i don't think most people tracked quite how big it was. here are the highlights, and read to the end to find out about two helpful things coming up this saturday that anyone can join 🧵

[Jon Warnow @jwarnow]

@METR_Evals @ajeya_cotra @DKokotajlo @eli_lifland @HumansInControl the the AI companies have the money, the lobbyists and a head start. what we need is now is to build a big, strategic, well-organized movement -- people who keep showing up -- in communities, in the streets, in DC, and wherever politicians can be found.
