Most signatories (>80%) have no clear affiliation with AI labs.\n\nIn other words, it’s a lot of very serious people.\n\n[18 upvotes] Found it funny how this post had no engagement whatsoever, and below this i see some pop culture random event having thousands. And it's possible in 20 years people show these kinda posts as like \"see, we were trying to do shit but no one cared\" xD\n\n[8 upvotes] If we have to do something, suggestions would be greatly appreciate from the signatories. \n\nIf all that ever gets said is \"We gotta do something\", nothing will ever get done.\n\n[7 upvotes] If only we didn’t have the single worst American administration in all of history currently dismantling and destroying our country. The timing for the arrival of AGI literally could not be worse.",
