A repost mocks Pause AI for copying protest tactics in ways that look absurd

A repost mocking Pause AI says the group misunderstands how other people think and ends up imitating successful protest tactics in clumsy, ineffective ways.
The examples cited include tiny San Francisco protests, a week-long hunger strike outside Anthropic’s HQ that amounts to skipping lunch, and an attempt to recreate cancel-culture dynamics over a meme. The punchline is that the cynicism is overwhelmed by the buffoonishness.
