This "protesters should be quiet and not disturb anyone" rethoric is part of the reason why the US and many other places don't have any real protests.

No, protests should hurt the economy. They should inconvenience people. They should make noise and be heard. And if you don't like it, join the cause and change the root issue that caused the protests in the first place.

    That's what I was talking about in the first place, genius.

    And please-- it's not a binary situation. You can make your mark and your voice heard without necessarily having to fuck over others. This is not Skynet, and this isn't a matter of life & death. Nothing that I stated above was implausible or impotent, but let me guess... it's not enough to protest something smartly and effectively... no, it's gotta be something that shades destructive and violent, like the riots in France right now, right? Originally over school funding issues, and now subverted by looters & rioters in to far worse.

    Don't make me laugh. I already made my 'case' in earlier comments, and of course I pissed off the rabidly anti-AI userbase, and now the wasps' nest is all astir.

    Yeah, you people can have your little pseudo-religion and imagine me as someone who's in love with AI, i.e. the enemy. Even though that's hardly the case as someone who personally suspects that reckless AI use is quite likely to help bring down civilisation... on top of all the other stupid shit we're doing to ourselves via late-stage capitalism, global warming, ocean acidification and so forth. But feel free to ignore all that and treat me as if I've been saying insane things above in the comment chain. I'll be your collective strawman, and this community can fuck right off as I cheerfully unsubscribe now. 🙂
