Q. Why am I doing this?

  1. Superintelligent AI might kill every person on Earth by 2030 (unless people coordinate to pause AI research). I want public at large to understand the gravity of the situation.
  2. Curiosity. I have no idea how my body reacts to not eating for many days.

Q. How long is the fast?

Minimum 7 days. I will not be fasting to death. I am consuming water and electrolytes. No food. I might consider fasting to death if ASI was less than a year away with above 50% probability. Thankfully we are not there yet.

Q. How to learn more about this?

Watch my YouTube channel, watch Yudkowsky's recent interviews. Send me an email or DM (email preferred) if you'd like to ask me questions personally, or be included on the livestream yourself.
