In response to the growing concern around the rapid, uncontrolled development of GPT technology, a group of activists has launched CodeConsci - a grassroots guerrilla campaign aimed at raising awareness and advocating for legislative and policy reforms.

Story Written in the First Person Perspective

I was growing increasingly concerned with the uncontrolled development of GPT technology and its potential consequences. As a conservative, I knew that responsible regulation and oversight were essential to protect our society from unforeseen harm. I joined a group of like-minded activists and together, we launched the CodeConsci campaign.

Our guerrilla tactics captured the attention of the public and media, resulting in widespread discourse around GPT development ethics. Corporations and governments began to take notice, and eventually, new legislation and policies were enacted to ensure responsible AI development. The CodeConsci campaign was instrumental in making this positive change a reality.
