TL;DR
Guido Reichstadter, a 45-year-old activist, climbed the 168-foot Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in Washington, DC on Friday to protest the U.S. war on Iran and what he calls the rapid spread of artificial intelligence, staying atop the bridge into Saturday as traffic was restricted. He urged an immediate, nonviolent end to the war and warned of AI risks, while Congress debated War Powers resolutions that have stalled under a Trump-backed administration.
