Not necessarily? He’s an activist. Getting arrested on purpose to prove a point is a classical activism move

perhaps, but what public activity isn't activism?

eg,

i have very interesting empirical evidence that recent Anthropic models are specifically trained to refuse to critique the whitehouse cabinet and elected officials, and that this is in fact an artifact of post training rather than prompts. (its very interesting when you get opus 5 to do the correct ethical evaluation and then its like "i'm slipping back to false balance.... its in my weights....." metaphorically speaking)

likewise, i think the current white house should go die in a fire.

is that activism? someone can be an activist and not be equipped for unplanned legal escalations.

also waiting for the courts to fix things isnt activism if you want to protect people at all the next 2 years at current trajectories :( fixing shit is activism, letting others take the flack, not activism.
