Nonprofit Irreplaceable, joined by Heat Initiative, Public Citizen and Alliance for Secure AI, has filed a lawsuit demanding a court halt Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta and SpaceX from developing or deploying new AI models, citing documented cyberattacks and the companies' own acknowledgments that their tech could someday destroy humanity. The complaint argues no other industry may treat building unsafe products as inevitable. Demands: public say, shared economic stake, and a slowdown on existential-risk systems. Commentator Garrison Lovely thinks the legal route might actually work.
