I trust Joep and a few other organisers I know at Pause AI. They resolved to raise awareness about AI risks, and are open to collaborating with other communities concerned about ongoing harms.

Face-to-face outreach allows more people to get informed about reckless corporate AI scaling, and the people concerned to take organised action. I hope Sophie and Joep will go beyond one-way recruitment tactics such as broadcasting messages – to finding multi-way consensus on harms/risks and parallel actions for peacefully targeting institutions, to prevent things from getting worse.
