(I can see an argument for blocking entrances to AI company offices, but I think the argument for blocking traffic is much weaker.)
I think Stop AI have taken this criticism onboard (having encountered it from a number of places). Their plan for the last couple of months has been to keep blocking OpenAI’s gates until they have their day in court[1] where they can make a “necessity” case for breaking the law to prevent a (much much) larger harm from occurring (or to prevent OpenAI from recklessly endangering everyone). Winning such a case would be huge.

They feature heavily in this recent documentary that is well worth a watch.
