DESCRIPTION:Activist POTLUCK followed by discussion with Ai expert panelists: \n\n- AI 
 Professor David Krueger (tbc), interviewed on Democracy Now, was one of 4 
 on Bernie Sanders' expert Ai panel on Capitol Hill        \n- Michael 
 Trazzi, founder of Stop the AI Race, organizer of worldwide March for a 
 Treaty (tbc)\nConfirmed:                                \n- Wynd Kaufman 
 StopAI’s “Rosa Parks,” the 1st Ai activist to be jailed for 
 non-violent direct action on this issue (blocking an entrance to Open AI)   
                                      \n- Guido Reichstadter a StopAI 
 founder, as revealed on DemocracyNow, scaled a D.C. bridge for the cause 
 and camped up there for 5 days                                 \n- Phoebe 
 Thomas Sorgen moderator/organizer   \n\nWHY?  Paul Christiano, a top AI 
 scientist and OpenAI board member:  There’s  "meaningful risk" of an AI 
 catastrophe within a year.  An "AI accident" will most likely cause 
 everyone to die. AI poses a "material risk in the immediate future" that 
 isn’t "abstract" but "something we should be trying to react to 
 immediately.” 11/9/26 Hinton Lecture hosted by Nobel laureate Professor 
 Geoffrey Hinton\n\nThere are some AI benefits, which narrow apps may be 
 saved, but besides intellect/artistic property theft, bigotry, reality 
 confusion, psychological harms, and eco gluttony, AI threatens mass 
 unemployment, economic collapse, total surveillance, and extinction!        
                                                                             
                             A global enforceable ban is doable!  Discuss 
 how, and how else we’ll save our butts!     \n\nMeanwhile, urge 
 Reps/Senators to co-sponsor the Sanders/Casar
