On: Don't be the out of touch Kung Fu master

You do realize that the same powers that have bred fascism and mandatory id requirement are hand in glove with the AI oligarchs, no? They gain with rampant use of AI disproportionately more than the peasant.

The peasantry stands no chance. Unless there is a French Revolution style uprising

> Unless there is a French Revolution style uprising

Yeah civilians are not going to win with weapons anymore. The imbalance there has been ridiculously disproportionate for decades.

But the common peon can use AI to look up laws and rights and other information and shit to see what we CAN still do.

USE it before they take that away too.

[sriram_malhar → Razengan]

You can look up laws all night long. Check out all the laws broken by Potus, ICE (just to name a few) on a daily basis.

The peasantry is not on the side that enforces the law. AI is. AI is a force multiplier. The more force you have, the more multiples of it you en up with. Flock uses AI to do surveillance at scale. Every cloud service has NSA backdoors.

So we stop AI, uninvent it,

what then?

We go back to how it was before AI

And everyone will have a better life?

Let's hear your plan

[sriram_malhar → Razengan]

It isn't just AI. I would like a world without the poison of social media, without guns & bombs, without dangerous chemicals. Yes, in many many ways we'd be better off. We are accelerating the destruction of our planet.

I don't have a better plan for humanity. I only have fear.

> social media

So no newspapers, no town criers, no gossip at the alewife's house?

> I don't have a better plan for humanity. I only have fear.

So your best move is to go around spreading that fear without coming up with ways to fix shit or inspiring anyone else to do so?
