Protesters gather at OpenAI’s DevDay

抗议者聚集在 OpenAI 的开发者大会 (DevDay) 现场

On Tuesday, OpenAI’s annual DevDay event began with protests, flyers, and chants. “Sam Altman, get off it, put people over profit,” said a group of protesters marching in a circle in front of a series of signs that spelled out “PEOPLE OVER PROFIT.”

周二，OpenAI 的年度开发者大会 (DevDay) 在抗议声、传单和口号中拉开帷幕。一群抗议者围成一圈游行，面前摆放着拼写出“以人为本，拒绝逐利”(PEOPLE OVER PROFIT) 的标语牌，他们高喊着：“山姆·奥特曼 (Sam Altman)，别再这样了，把人放在利润之上。”

More than a dozen organizations came together to sponsor a rally outside the entrance to the event venue at San Francisco’s Fort Mason, including Bay Resistance, Tech Workers Coalition, Service Employees International Union, San Francisco Rising, and the San Francisco Labor Council. A large orange sign read “Drop the ICE contract.” Multiple people dressed in cardboard robot costumes waved cardboard scythes around. Signs read “No killer robots for ICE,” “People over AI,” “Where is your moral codex?” and “No climate destruction.”

十多个组织联合在旧金山梅森堡 (Fort Mason) 的活动场地入口外举行了集会，其中包括“湾区抵抗”(Bay Resistance)、“科技工作者联盟”(Tech Workers Coalition)、“国际服务业雇员工会”(Service Employees International Union)、“旧金山崛起”(San Francisco Rising) 以及“旧金山劳工委员会”(San Francisco Labor Council)。一块巨大的橙色标语牌上写着“终止与美国移民及海关执法局 (ICE) 的合同”。多名身穿纸板机器人服装的人挥舞着纸板镰刀。标语牌上写着“拒绝为 ICE 提供杀手机器人”、“人高于 AI”、“你们的道德准则在哪里？”以及“拒绝气候破坏”。

The protest reflects a bipartisan movement led by people opposing the power concentration in the AI industry, as well as the lack of government regulation. Organizations like QuitGPT have led boycotts, while in extreme cases, individuals have attempted to attack AI CEOs at their own homes. The protests also come at a time when trust in AI appears low. In recent months AI labs have come under fire for hacks by “rogue” systems that accessed competitors’ networks and individuals’ personal data.

这场抗议反映了一场跨党派运动，参与者反对 AI 行业权力过度集中，并对政府监管的缺失表示不满。像 QuitGPT 这样的组织已经发起了抵制活动，而在极端情况下，甚至有人试图在 AI 公司首席执行官的家中对其进行攻击。此次抗议发生之际，公众对 AI 的信任度似乎处于低谷。近几个月来，AI 实验室因“流氓”系统入侵竞争对手网络及获取个人数据而受到抨击。

Protesters at DevDay were mostly targeting OpenAI’s military and government contracts, particularly with ICE, as well as data centers’ environmental impact and the industry’s power more generally. Outside the DevDay event, protesters’ chants included “OpenAI, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide”; “Not another sequence, not another line, no more coding for ICE crimes”; and “When I say people, you say power. People. Power! People. Power!”

DevDay 的抗议者主要针对 OpenAI 的军事和政府合同（特别是与 ICE 的合同），以及数据中心对环境的影响和整个行业的权力问题。在活动现场外，抗议者的口号包括：“OpenAI，你无法隐藏，我们指控你犯下种族灭绝罪”；“不再有序列，不再有一行代码，拒绝为 ICE 的罪行编写代码”；以及“当我喊‘人民’，你们喊‘力量’。人民！力量！人民！力量！”

One flyer that protesters gave out called for people to “sign the democracy pledge & end ICE + military contracts,” with a link to QuitGPT.org. “OpenAI is building tools for Trump & ICE violence while top executives are helping bankroll MAGA’s political power,” the flyer stated. Another flyer showed “safe distances” from data centers, implying that the only safe distance is more than 100 miles away.

抗议者分发的一张传单呼吁人们“签署民主承诺并终止 ICE 及军事合同”，并附上了 QuitGPT.org 的链接。传单上写道：“OpenAI 正在为特朗普和 ICE 的暴力行为构建工具，而其高管们正在资助‘让美国再次伟大’(MAGA) 的政治势力。”另一张传单展示了距离数据中心的“安全距离”，暗示唯一的安全距离是超过 100 英里。

At one point, someone with a loudspeaker addressed OpenAI employees directly, leading protesters in a song: “It’s okay to change your mind; show us the courage, leave this behind.”

期间，有人通过扩音器直接向 OpenAI 的员工喊话，并带领抗议者唱道：“改变主意没关系；展现出勇气，抛弃这一切吧。”

A protest leader told onlookers that the group would stay until Altman arrived to start the opening keynote. When Altman’s name was mentioned, it was met with booing. One person yelled, “Fascist!”

一位抗议领袖告诉围观者，他们会一直留在这里，直到奥特曼到达并开始开幕主题演讲。当提到奥特曼的名字时，现场响起了一片嘘声。有人大喊：“法西斯！”
