DESCRIPTION:We will march nonviolently on March 21, 2026, to demand that major AI lab 
 CEOs Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Dario Amodei publicly commit to a 
 conditional global pause on frontier AI development if all labs worldwide 
 do the same. We are building on Demis Hassabis taking the first step by 
 signaling openness to coordination, because the AI arms race is reckless 
 and widely opposed but cannot be slowed without collective action. We will 
 rally and march to Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI in San Francisco to press 
 CEOs to commit to pausing together rather than racing alone.\n\nAlso on 
 Luma: https://lu.ma/s0k8wvee\nAnd Partiful (anonymous registration): 
 https://partiful.com/e/hlLlRjuwrecvOsKchIyD\n\n​In September 2025, we 
 asked Demis Hassabis to publicly commit to stopping the AI race if every 
 other AI lab in the world, including in China and the US, also stopped. 
 Last month, he said he would be open to it, but international coordination 
 was one of the key bottlenecks in getting there.\n\n​Public pressure 
 works. Now we're bringing that same ask to Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI, 
 behind ChatGPT), Elon Musk (CEO of xAI, behind Grok) and Dario Amodei (CEO 
 of Anthropic, behind Claude).\n\n​​"I wish we had 5 to 10 years," Dario 
 said in a recent interview. In another, he admitted that what keeps him up 
 at night is the "incredible market race" between top AI companies. But he 
 argues he can't slow down because "we have geopolitical adversaries 
 building the same technology at a similar pace."\n\n​​This is reckless, 
 and everyone knows it. Very few people are in favor of the current AI arms 
 race. But slowing down requires coordination, not unilateral 
 action.\n\n​​Dario himself has said he would slow down if he could. At 
 Davos, he told the audience that if coordination were possible, he'd meet 
 with Demis Hassabis "right now" and agree to pause. We're asking him to 
 make that coordination possible, by publicly committing to stop if others 
 do the same.\n\n​​That's what a pause in principle means: committing to 
 stop developing frontier models if every other lab in the world credibly 
 does the same, with independent auditors ensuring compliance.\n\n​Demis 
 has taken the first step. Now it's Elon, Sam and Dario's turn.\n\n​On 
 Saturday, March 21, 2026, we're marching to every major AI lab in San 
 Francisco. The march will be nonviolent.\n\n​12:00 PM — Rally at 
 Anthropic (500 Howard St)\n1:00 PM — March to OpenAI (1455 3rd St)\n2:00 
 PM — March to xAI (3180 18th St)\n3:00 PM — Food at Dolores 
 Park\n\n​Our demand: every major AI lab CEO publicly commits to a 
 conditional global pause.\n
