Keep fighting, people. This is one of the most effective ways to fight against AI.
Without their compute power, they are nothing.

Maybe AI/tech leaders will stop talking about humans like their disposable capital and realize they are real people with responsibilities and livelihoods.
And ruthlessly/apologetically saying their product will directly fuck up that person’s ability to provide for themselves and their loved ones will radicalize people.

It’s true. I’m not 100% anti ai, I guess there are good uses of it and it could really profit people. But for the most part is just a bunch of hallucinating, resource-gurgling, art-killing horse shit and people are starting to see right through.

Not a surprise that such tragic violence is happening…..We should all be against violence….However, the violence of the AI companies and big corporations using AI to destroy peoples means of making a living (and in many cases, people who have paid tax dollars to subsidize such companies which destroys the idea that these companies are simply there due to the „free market“ and „hard work“) is leading to this unfortunate other violence. Unfortunately when one punches someone in the face, they often get punched back. Hopefully these companies learn and more peaceful ways take back the wealth they wrongfully obtained to avoid further violence….

Well if you think right now is violent, wait to have a >10% unemployment, you are going to love it

I don’t understand why, it’s not like it is driving people into poverty, destroying the environment, making only the most evil people on earth garner exponential power, ruining our cities, driving up our utility bills, eliminating jobs, driving people into endless loneliness, and does it all by stealing the collective creative work of humanity without giving credit.
All for something that never works.

People are getting sick of being expoited, reduced, manipulated and controlled by the same billionaires whose existence is absolutely based on turning our lives into their profit.

If they took the tech and slowly worked at it instead of trying to force it down everyone’s throats, replace our jobs with it, suck up our resources to run and build it out… possibly people wouldn’t be as pissed off.

There is absolutely nothing good that AI is offering to the vast majority of people and tech CEOs are bragging about how dangerous it is, how they are going to make most of white collard jobs obsolete, how they are going to make us pay for it with our taxes while they get all the profits.
Why is anyone surprised about this?

Stop building resource drains that poison the air and water while driving up utility prices while adding no tax or economic growth to the area. It’s a total loss for residents.

Honestly, good. These people are being too reckless with this technology and people’s lives. There needs to be more consequences for this behavior.

You can’t create an existential crisis for humanity without guardrails or a plan for supporting an automated society and expect no one to care. It’s difficult to understate the impact they expect AI to have on mankind, yet there’s no real plan for the after effects. Most of the rhetoric I hear is that they don’t give two shits about what happens when no one has a job. It’s just population control.

The AI induced job purge will remain bloodless if the working class let it. – some tech bro douche bag probably

They want to socialize the cost of building it and privatize the profits. Fuck AI and data centers. They produce no benefit to society.

they got it twisted. it’s not anti AI violence. it’s anti robber baron. it’s anti oligarch. nobody’s picking up a weapon over a flavor of the month app. it’s who owns them… and why.

pro-AI sentiment is also violence, albeit a different kind. they aren’t building the data centers in affluent neighborhoods, I can tell ya that much.

Good. They think they can steal our art, our music, our jobs in exchange for a subscription and not expect a fight?

They overwork us under pay us and now tell us we’re going to lose our jobs to ai and we’re supposed to be happy about it lol

The vision is becoming clearer.
The AI race is a race to the bottom— to automate away labor and jobs, to further entrench the billionaires and turn them into trillionaires, all while raising our energy costs and poisoning our water.
All for what? 10 data center jobs and -10,000 other jobs?
AI hasn’t changed the average Americans life for anything but the worse. We are losing jobs, losing hope, losing cognition and losing purpose in our lives and jobs.
They will wreak havoc on this nation and fly away having stolen all the capital in this nation. They will break the system and float away to live in some penthouse while the nation burns.

executives used AI as the prefect scapegoat to squeeze the lower classes even tighter and now there’s push back. shock.
