Activists in San Francisco and London are currently undertaking hunger strikes outside the offices of Anthropic and DeepMind, two prominent AI companies.

These activists, Guido Reichstadter and Michael Trazzi, are demanding a halt to frontier AI development, citing existential threats, mass job loss, and societal disruption as potential consequences.

The articles highlight a disconnect between internal warnings from AI industry leaders regarding these risks and the continued competitive push for artificial general intelligence. Ultimately, the hunger strikes serve as a potent, visceral form of protest against the perceived unchecked ambition of tech giants and a call for a fundamental re-evaluation of humanity's relationship with powerful AI technologies.
