A new #SuperPAC Aims to Rally #TechWorkers to Help Limit #AI: '#GuardrailsAlliance'
"This is not about matching [#LeadingTheFuture] dollar for dollar," [said the super PAC's co-founder, political operative Shaunna Thomas]. "What this vehicle is meant to do is be a political home for people who are concerned about the way the anti-regulation AI tech sector is trying to manipulate elections."

Working on some #poster designs to gather stories and information from workers who have lost jobs to #AI or are being forced to use it in the workplace.

Edit: for anyone interested in using these designs, I've released them here:
