Angered by Google's exponential energy consumption (due to its AI pivot) and its plan to build "a pipeline of future users" via K–12 classroom software (due to its greed), a large crowd protested at its NYC office yesterday, organized by @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social & @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social
Protesters outside the entrance to Google's office on 8th Avenue in Manhattan. One protester shouts through a megaphone while others hold a banner saying "Keep AI out of our schools! Stand up for kids, not AI billionaires."

The Mayor and Chancellor still haven't released their "A.i." policy, so now is a GREAT time to tell the mayor you want a full "A.i." moratorium for the public schools, 2K-12, for both students and teachers! Leave your comment at HeyMamdani.fyi tonight, friends!

700 artists, writers and celebrities demanded a  moratorium
5000 New Yorkers signed our petition

To the people claiming a pause on AI in schools will "leave kids behind," if we don't stop the rapid growth of AI, kids will inherit a world on fire with no food, water or breathable air. THAT is leaving kids behind. @nycschools.bsky.social should not be fueling fossil fuel expansion. Period.
