“Guido Reichstadter, for the past week, has gone without a calorie. He’s survived on vitamins and electrolytes, conducting a hunger strike to protest the San Francisco startup Anthropic’s pursuit of super-powerful artificial intelligence. Reichstadter, on Tuesday, the eighth day of his protest, sat hunched in a rollator outside the company’s South of Market office. He drank from a bottle of water gifted to him by a construction worker employed in Anthropic’s building. He thought about the two hunger strikers he’d inspired in London, protesting outside Google’s DeepMind AI lab. And he spoke with SFGATE about the experience of hunger striking, and about his hope that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei will shut down his startup’s AI development — or at least give Reichstadter a reason why he won’t.” (09/11/25)
