Don't think about it as cops protecting AI.

Cops exist to protect the ruling class. That class just happens to be building datacenters at the moment.

Police are like a box of chocolates - they'll kill your dog.

The box of chocolates won't laugh about it though.

What monstrous thing did a box of chocolates do to you to deserve such a heinous comparison?

They killed his dog. Can't you read ?

"You have the right to a baton to the face!" - Police, for some reason.

Ai is a national "arms race".

It's going to happen regardless of how many people and citizens get sacrificed along the way. I feel like people aren't understanding that yet though. This isn't about consumer grade chatgpt etc... the datacenters (and ai) are also going to be utilized by feds. All nations are trying to build this modern infrastructure.

I have only watched about 25% of this, but so far this guy seems to be spot on. https://youtu.be/ukdCJ5Nt0XM

People need to realize this isn't a left or right thing... We are in a battle for humanity and literal natural freedom/rights, and we are constantly being manipulated into division with marketed pop drama specifically seeded to make us ignore the real enemies and make us hate each other instead.

Think about this. Realize this. And understand they already anticipate uprising.

And understand they already anticipate uprising.

Yes, the key to overcoming this is to unify and organize and support each other and educate each other and understand each other. They divide us and turn us against each other because it weakens us. They surround us with right-wing and woke and climate change and nationalist powderkegs primed to explode, to make it difficult to talk openly to one another, to make people afraid of sensitive topics, because it makes it difficult to organize and makes it easy to pick out the organizers. We are not our politics, our politics do not define us, they may mark us ignorant, but who made us that way? Being ignorant is not what makes someone worthy of life or not, it is not half of us against the other half. It is all of us against the people pulling the strings, making the decisions, creating the situations that we have been raised in, and hoarding the wealth. No war but class war.
