I’m a professor literally risking my own life to fight the menace of Gen AI destroying education. You can help me live and fight…

This is a republishing from the Medium blog I (Kim Crawley) just wrote and published: https://medium.com/@kim_crawley/im-a-professor-literally-risking-my-own-life-to-fight-the-menace-of-gen-ai-destroying-education-6b3c596f55ce For the TL;DR version, scroll down five paragraphs. In December 2018, Greta Thunberg was invited to speak to the UN. She was getting really frustrated at this point. Because no matter how much media attention she got in the…
Status Coup appearance, and some other anti-Gen AI videos that are highly recommended

While the Sam Altman cultists scream at their leader about how shitty GPT 5 is (even shittier than GPT 4, if that was possible), we’re fighting back. We won’t stand by and just watch while they destroy the environment, destroy millions upon millions upon millions of livelihoods, destroy their own brains, and destroy culture and…
The Skeptic’s Bible podcast is back! New artists and new merch in store! Kim on the Cyber Show!

Let’s share these three tidbits of new in one post. RazedHunter had to take a break. But he returned with a mindblowing and thoroughly researched episode three of The Skeptic’s Bible podcast.

People’s AI Action Plan and Stop Gen AI

I, Kim Crawley, founder of Stop Gen AI, have said multiple times that I think our efforts to combat Gen AI should be focused on educating the general public, mutual aid for proletariat who are being made poorer by our evil overlords because they try to replace us with Gen AI, and… some offensive actions…
Ryan Wilson and Kim Crawley return to talk about Gen AI and mass poverty, climate disaster, and what China is doing differently

Ryan Wilson is our group’s primary video guru, and he also understands Marxism really well. Check out part one here: Blog post, YouTube video In part two, we talked about how billionaire oligarchs like NVIDIA’s CEO are now openly talking about replacing all of us, which may literally kill a lot of us by ridding…
Marxism, Gen AI, and societal destruction in the west are all connected. A great chat between Ryan Wilson and Kim Crawley.

This is the first in a series of what will likely be two or three much longer form videos. The main gifts Ryan brings to Stop Gen AI are his internet video wizardry, and his deep understanding of both Marxist theory and how Marxism is conducted in China. (Okay, his understanding of China is great…

In defense of doomerism* or They have no fucking idea the immensity of the evils we face

by Kim Crawley This Word document version of this article may be easier for you to read: https://drive.proton.me/urls/435KD3KKZC#du9FgRXQnqxw Since the Covid pandemic started in 2019-2020 (it’s currently ongoing, by the way), “doomer” is a word I’ve seen used on the internet a lot more frequently. People have strong disagreements about what the word means. Some…
Ricky D’Andrea Crano, UC Irvine humanities lecturer and Gen AI critic

I just received a lovely email from Ricky Crano, who is a UC Irvine humanities lecturer and Gen AI critic. Their academic profile is here: https://faculty.sites.uci.edu/rickycrano Ricky told me they learned about our group from Brian Merchant’s new blog post about us on his Blood In The Machine blog: https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/hundreds-of-workers-mobilize-to-stop https://web.archive.org/web/20250629120551/https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/hundreds-of-workers-mobilize-to-stop I wanted to cover…

I’m a cybersecurity professor made poor by Gen AI, so now I’m dangerously honest on LinkedIn

Here are my recent LinkedIn posts. I used to only post stuff on LinkedIn that was employer friendly. But not anymore! Why should I shut up if they’re not even giving me a job with a livable income? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kimcrawley_so-this-is-day-two-of-kim-has-nothing-to-activity-7341476094451032065-ZAQz?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAAUu6tYB3Ugi0i5FQDdgOi9wXVPO12NvcQ0 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kimcrawley_so-this-is-day-two-of-kim-has-nothing-to-activity-7341479026290528258-tfof?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAAUu6tYB3Ugi0i5FQDdgOi9wXVPO12NvcQ0 So here’s what I wrote in those LinkedIn posts today:
Neha and Kim discuss Stop Gen AI on Jessa McLean’s Blueprints of Disruption podcast

Blueprints of Disruption is one of the best Canada-based podcasts about actually left wing politics. By that, we mean being anticapitalist, not “left” according to the busted Overton Window. NDP leadership isn’t really left, and nor is Scandinavian social democracy, or The (AOC) Squad in the US. Jessa McLean grew up in a proud working…
Upcoming Itch.io charity bundle to raise funds for our mutual aid…

We are fighting the scourge of Gen AI by raising funds for our group’s mutual aid to support creative and cognitive workers made poor through Gen AI. Our evil overlords will keep on locking us our of labour income, it doesn’t matter that Gen AI is simply really overhyped autocomplete and can’t replace our work effectively (immense understatement). We welcome all Itch.io creators who have: The only caveat is that you own or have the rights to your creation, and that you have used absolutely zero Gen AI in making it. We will exclude works that promote bigotry or harming marginalized groups at our discretion. But this is Itch.io, and it’s very unlikely that your digital art is like that. Digital art and media that celebrates LGBTQIA+ people, neurodivergent people (autistic, dyslexia, ADHD, mental health struggles, etc.), furries, Covid safety, Free Palestine, and other marginalized groups, causes, and cultures is enthusiastically welcome. https://itch.io/jam/stop-gen-ai-mutual-aid-charity-bundle-1 You have until June 20th to submit.
