John,

Elon Musk is basically running the US (into the ground).

Mark Zuckerberg's net worth went up by $5.8 billion in one day
recently and his company Meta is a hotbed of lies and hate that is
poisoning our society.

Now Sam Altman wants to join them. His company OpenAI was created to
develop artificial intelligence that would benefit humanity as a whole.
It's a non-profit. But Altman and his cronies are maneuvering to turn it
into a for-profit business, taking tens of billions of dollars of public
value private.

The last thing we need is more tech billionaires. And if the biggest AI
companies are all run for profit, we know what we'll see -- more Musks and
Zuckerbergs destroying everything so that they can be kings.

But the change to for-profit isn't assured. Multiple legal officials have
a say, and the company's board does too. If people everywhere – from
technologists to lawmakers to business leaders and everyone in between –
join together and demand a halt to this plan, we can stop it...and show
Big Tech that the time for doing whatever it wants is over.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name: protect OpenAI’s non-profit mission 

Just imagine, in a few years from now AI systems will be everywhere and
they’ll get to decide who gets jobs, what news we see, and even who lives
or dies. And the for-profit companies that control these systems answer to
shareholders, not to you.

CEO Sam Altman is determined to push this plan through — strong-arming
former execs and board members and promising investors a corporate
overhaul. 

Now Attorneys General in California and Delaware are investigating
Altman's plans, and could effectively block them -- but they could also
cave to industry pressure.

That's where we come in. If we show these officials that people everywhere
are paying attention to this case, it could force them to take strong
action to protect the future of AI. 

[ [link removed] ]Tell the Attorneys General: safeguard OpenAI’s non-profit mission 

When OpenAI was founded its mission was rooted in safety, ethics, and
serving the public good. If Sam Altman has his way with the company’s
corporate structure, it puts that important mission in jeopardy. 

Only a massive public outcry will show lawmakers and the board that this
is more than a secret backroom deal.
