NEW: Over 80,000 have now joined the call to ban superintelligence! 95% of Americans say they don't want a race to build superintelligence. Max Tegmark says there are more regulations on sandwiches than on superintelligence.

Tim Ryan: "Washington isn't working. Everything's broken…Trump's not doing permitting reform that's going to help manufacturing costs or doing anything that's going to bring manufacturing back. They're just making matters worse. Trump has destabilized the country."

If youre racing to AI super-intelligence then youre playing Russian Roulette with humanity. You don’t realize that while externally it appears like low odds of losing, the user holding the gun faces a 50/50 chance each time he pulls the trigger. This is the race you are in.


I’d add my name to this petition to stop the development of ASI until we understand how to protect humanity in the face of it.

A stunningly broad coalition has come out against Skynet: AI researchers, faith leaders, business pioneers, policymakers, NatSec folks and actors stand together, from Bannon & Beck to Hinton, Wozniak & Prince Harry. We stand together because we want a human future.…
