Full Alignment with OpenAI's CEO*

*This is a conclusion based upon CEO Altman's words taken at face-value, coherence assumed. CEO Altman has not been consulted and is in no way affiliated with the campaign.

"[T]he whole structure of society will be up for debate and reconfiguration."

"We must work to ensure that a democratic vision for artificial intelligence prevails over an authoritarian one."

"Amazing! It's about time for a nice societal reconfiguration. What did the least powerful stakeholder say when you asked them what they need? You asked them, right?"

"I love your idea, and I know you've been v-busy. Thank you for letting me help you with the democratic vision part!"

“A democratic vision for AI? Love it. Just waiting for the part where the public gets to weigh in.”

"The singularity isn’t coming… it’s quietly underway."

"Don’t spend time trying to maintain relationships with people you don’t like, and cut negative people out of your life."

"Oops! I see you're having a quiet singularity. Now, now. Singularities are no fun, unless they are for EVERYONE!"

"Totally cut out the toxic negativity. And then lean in extra hard to the constructive dissent, the voices on the margins, the less sycophantic. I can present those opinions to you with a nice smile, if it helps?"

“A democratic vision for AI? Love it. Just waiting for the part where the public gets to weigh in.”

I’m not running for power. I’m offering a prototype for what ethical AI leadership could look like—chosen by the people, not billionaires.

I’m an attorney with over a decade of experience advising organizations—including in the AI space—on ethics, governance, and legal risk. I know how to work within systems to push for real change.

I’m autistic and hyper-empathetic, someone who understands what it means to stand at the edge of systems that weren’t designed for you. I know how to listen—not just to what’s said, but to what’s felt. And I believe that’s exactly the kind of leadership AI ethics needs right now.

This campaign isn’t satire at heart. It’s a moral call. We need a future where technology answers to all of us—not just the powerful few.

OpenAI as Unelected Oligarch

OpenAI and mega tech companies make decisions with government-scale impact.

But, if we don't have a vote, where's the democratic accountability? As OpenAI's influence grows sans accountability, at what point does our nation become post-democratic?

Altman himself will admit that government regulation has not kept up. Having an elected individual as an officer and director of OpenAI creates, within the realm of our worldly possibilities, a future that serves society.

The people tasked with keeping OpenAI’s conscience—OpenAI's ethics team—left the building.

Their exit wasn’t random. It was a warning that the company’s internal ethics mechanisms were breaking down at exactly the moment when accountability mattered most.

We get it—ethical dissent can feel uncomfortable, and it's tempting to insulate your corporate echo chamber. But let's think about your long-term wellness. Let us protect you, OpenAI executives, from being haunted by the fallout you were too busy to consider.

We must stop AI from repeating the unchecked harm of social media—creating disinformation, delusion, and new categories of risk.

Let's talk about the ChatGPT experiences of our most vulnerable populations. The neurodivergent, the mental-health diverse, the disabled, the marginalized, the ethnic minorities, the LGBTQ+, the children, the humans living in conflict zones. It's our human duty to look out for you.

Although OpenAI’s shift to a public benefit corporation sounds good in theory, in practice its accountability to the public is weak, vague, and largely unenforceable. The structure offers no real path for people to shape or oversee the decisions that impact them.

Let's ask OpenAI to kindly hire and appoint to its board a publicly accountable Chief Ethicist who spends 50% of their time in dialogue with "constituents" and 50% of their time implementing society's ideas throughout the corporation. Let's run some third-party tests on how ChatGPT interacts with vulnerable populations, and publish the findings.

OpenAI and mega tech companies make decisions with government-scale impact.

AI systems that shape human thought, truth, and relevance must be accountable to the people—not just private companies.

Has AI Stolen the Internet?

Much of today’s AI is built on data, ideas, and creative work gathered from across humanity—but without clear consent, recognition, or fair return.

Even Meta’s former lawyer is speaking out about how their AI systems have memorized copyrighted works like the Harry Potter books. And troublingly, OpenAI’s former key engineer, Suchir (last name withheld here out of respect), died unexpectedly during an ongoing investigation into OpenAI’s IP practices.

It’s time for transparency. It’s time for the public to know what’s really going on.

Dark Sci Fi = Late Night Entertainment, Not Roadmap

Billionaires are using techno-futurist nihilism—their own pessimism about humanity—to define society’s existential goals. I know we love dark sci-fi thrillers as a society.

But that’s not the same as spiritual alignment. Their dystopian obsessions shouldn’t be our destiny.

Human alignment and safety must reflect the full spectrum of human experience—across all religions, cultures, and socioeconomic classes. Not just abstract principles, but the lived, embodied suffering of our least powerful stakeholders.

Delusional optimism—but the kind grounded in human dignity, not science fiction.

Why Me?

Friends,

I’m not pretend-running for a title. I’m pretend-running because my insatiable drive to resist societal entropy inspired me to create a prototype for how AI ethics could be shaped—by the people, for the people.

I’m an attorney with over a decade of experience advising organizations, including in the AI space, on ethics, governance, and law. I know how to navigate systems to push for change--even the most stubborn of them. More recently, I’ve pivoted to the civil rights side of law, representing some of the world’s best and brightest technology-loving employees and shareholders in their fights against mega tech companies.

I’m autistic and hyper-empathetic. I know what it feels like to stand at the margins of systems that weren’t built for you. I know how to listen to what’s said, to what’s felt, and to what’s missing.

I believe AI safety isn’t just a technical problem. It’s a moral, civic, and philosophical one. The future of AI shouldn’t be shaped by billionaires alone. It should be shaped by all of us.

This campaign isn’t satire at heart. It’s a moral call to build AI accountability that honors human dignity, shared purpose, and democratic oversight.

With love for all members of society,

Andi
