Looks like both the feds and state law enforcement / intelligence agencies are tracking the Zizians now.

“anti-tech extremism” = wanting clean air and water
A_norny_mousseThank you. Also jobs. Nobody goes out protesting because Claude can’t vibe code. This is the government creating FUD against political opponents, again.
US law enforcement invents new boogeymen to justify silencing dissent over gigantic datacentres.
And preparing everyone for invasive mass surveillance. “If you have nothing to hide” is going to be really popular.
That worries me… how long until they start using the term terrorist?
This is them using the word terrorists. domestic terrorism laws in the US are based on ideological extremism.

LemmayngThey’re literally doing this:
ROFL. The people most likely to dislike AI and actively work against it love tech. This is the most backward thing you can say. These are the people who build jelly fin servers and make their own VPN’s and (used to) build gaming rigs. These are the same people who heard that the US wanted to ban routers and were like “we’ll make our own with blackjack and hookers”.
Next: US Law Enforcement Warns “Anyone who doesn’t want us bricking directly in their mouth is an extremist”.
Tech Oligarchs “Hey, US government. How about we make crimes against AI data centers a terrorist crime?”
US Government “Yes, Daddy.”
It does not help that tech giants have become very hostile to consumers in the last couple years.
If tech ain’t beneficial for all then fuck it. I can do most things with a pencil and cocktail napkin without destroying national ecologies and putting my jackboot on the throat of the forced users.
And so on and so forth, a good part of the article is about how the feds are afraid that once the trial gets going basically people will think Ziz is making too much sense and anti-AI-infrastructure violence escalates.
Yud, despite his near-infinite IQ, will apparently be the last one to suspect that grassroots organized violence is an incredibly obvious short-term solution to the alleged problem he’s spent most of his life beating the drum about.
And let’s not forget that ridiculous AI2027 assertion that people who are faced with almost certain annihilation should not pursue extreme uncooperative actions.
Ah, that one AI2027 blog post where they tried to convince people not to commit terrorism by opening the article by talking about how man’s fate may be sealed in two years time. Incredibly smart idea.
It helps that most of their audience seems incapable of considering that non-market driven societal change could be possible, better spend a fuckton of philanthropy money to buy a castle in case it helps indoctrinate a John Galt type to argue AI safety on our behalf, that’ll solve everything.
The whole title of Yuds book also isnt going to help.
they have been watching spacey odessey one too many time.
well this whole read was a reminder about how much of an AI bootlicker Trump is.
@lurker I don’t understand what “target” means in this context. Is there a crime to be investigated? As far as I know, you can’t be prosecuted for beliefs.
They literally jailed a guy for making light of Charlie Kirk’s bullet related mishap in social media, and a group of pro-palestine protestors winning their case after months of trials is still fresh on the news.
So you most certainly can be prosecuted.
Counting or not counting prosecutions that end with the defendent vindicated and almost a million dollars richer?
Sure it counts, getting out of indeterminate time pre-trial holding with a payout after the state has charged you with a felony is a hell of a dice roll, compared to the alternative of not exercising free speech in the first place.
Also this only works as long as the legal system isnt taken over.
Sadly due to a large increase of crime the time until your case will go to trial has increased to … three years
… five years
… ten years
… thirty years
… a hundred years …
In the mean time, make yourself useful to society by working in jail to earn your keep.
yeah not every defendant has the resources to contact the right legal help to get the detention overturned or compensated
like, say you get held without bond for 2 or 3 weeks, then released, you might lose your job or miss paying rent or any number of other real world effects, this has an obvious chilling effect on speech
@Architeuthis That’s crazy. What’s the crime?
