Demonstration Against Anthropic’s Impending IPO

A company that is racing towards a product that risks the end of humanity should not be allowed an initial public offering. Especially when they are artificially kept afloat by an oligarch class that view AI as their chance to permanently solidify power. ​

I'll come Tues morning, tryna shut down Anthropic. Tech billionaires are putting us all in dire danger, so we have a right and a duty to try to shut them down (non-violently of course.) Also come to BFUU Wed. 6:30 pm for community potluck and Ai panel discussion featuring professor Krueger and passionate resisters Wynd and Guido, w/ Phoebe moderating. Don't miss this riveting discussion, and also be inspired by the amazing protest art adorning the walls. Pls bring yummy food to share. 1924 Cedar at Bonita a block east of MLK, Berkeley.
