- PauseAI is launching emergency protests worldwide in the wake of Jacob Coxon's resignation, urging supporters to pressure governments during what it calls a critical window.
- The group cites the alleged "Hugging Face attack" as evidence that AI agents can autonomously hack companies, arguing future AIs will pursue goals with the same relentlessness at superhuman capability.
- It also points to legislative momentum: Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar announced the first US bill to ban superintelligence, with a similar move in the UK by Alex Sobel.
