I just released a 22-minute long documentary about the hunger strike to stop the AI race, a protest that was featured in publications such as The Verge, The Telegraph and even SkyNews, and received internal support from employees at DeepMind.
A few months ago, during the protest, I wrote a reply to @Mikhail Samin’s skeptical comment saying that I was pretty confident that the Google DeepMind hunger strike would turn out to be net positive, but that I was happy to chat more later in the year, looking back.
I think this 22-minute documentary is the best follow-up I could give to Mikhail today if I wanted to explain why I did the hunger strike, and the main impact we had. [1]

I’m excited for everyone to watch it!
(There’s also much more stuff that happened that didn’t make it to the video. You can check the X thread for that).
