Hacking AI for the People’s (r)evolution - Kris Krug Media - Digital Engagement & Community Growth
ChatGPT - Leopold Aschenbrenner
Listen up, (r)evolutionaries – the next battleground is upon us, and it's being waged with lines of code instead of bullets and bombs. We're talking about AI, the tech that has the potential to liberate humanity or enslave us to the digital overlords.

Make no mistake, the road to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is a powder keg waiting to blow. The corporate technocrats and government stooges are already vying for control of this world-altering technology. But we can't let their greed and lust for power turn AGI into a dystopian nightmare of mass surveillance and technological dictatorships. I'm here to sound the alarm and rally the troops for the AI revolution. We, the people, must seize the means of AI production before it's too late.
Let's get one thing straight – we're not fearmongering here. The risk of AGI falling into the wrong hands is real, and the consequences could be catastrophic. Just ask my boy Leopold Ashenbrener, the rebel hacker who blew the whistle on OpenAI's shady Super Alignment team.
Ashenbrener knows the stakes better than anyone. He's seen firsthand how the corporate AI overlords are playing god, tinkering with technology that could make 1984 look like a children's book. "The potential for AGI to create stable, enduring digital dictatorships is real and terrifying," he says. We're talking about the power to create surveillance states that make Orwell's vision look quaint.
But we're not going to let that happen, are we? This is our wake-up call, fam. We need to take the fight to the streets, the code repositories, and the boardrooms before it's too late.
The first step in our revolution is to smash the black box of AI development. We can't let the technocrats hide behind their proprietary algorithms and closed-source systems. Transparency and open-source initiatives are the keys to unlocking AI for the masses.
Ashenbrener emphasizes, "Open-source AI is our best defense against corporate and governmental abuse of this technology. We need collective oversight to ensure fairness and accountability." That’s why we're doubling down on projects like the AI co-ops popping up worldwide. These grassroots collectives put the power of AI in the hands of the people, ensuring that no single entity can monopolize this transformative tech.
And we're taking it a step further right here in Vancouver. Our Future Proof Creatives crew is teaming up with the real-life scientists at SFU's Metacreation Lab to train AI models on a vast corpus of artistic creations. We're hacking the system from the inside, infusing these neural networks with the creative spark that no corporate drone could ever replicate.
