Yeah, the organizers are definitely taking an extreme route but that's probably the point. Extreme positions get more marketing hype so to speak. Once you have the attention, then you can start to influence a culture of questioning AI and AI usage.

I will say to your first point, it's possible they are trying to prove the model of this type of protest with the biggest and most well known company today to lay the groundwork of other protests at other companies. Someone has to light the match.

I think people are tired of extremism.

The culture of questioning AI and its usage already exists. I would agree if people said it needed to be more prevalent and have more people engaged with it, but going to an extreme to get a conversation started ignores that fact that the conversation is already going.
