    I disagree with your conclusion. The solution to the societal issues we face is not more personal animosity.

    Do we need to fuck up corporations? Well, that’s already happening via widespread boycotts. But there’s no path from there to “people are being too nice.”

      But it’s not personal. The entity you are interacting with has explicitly chosen to attack your systems for their own benefit, causing significant damage while disguising its intent and evading the systems which are supposed to protect your stuff from harm.

      I’m not saying you need to go throw eggs at the developers’ houses. I’m saying that once an entity is actively harming you, it becomes okay to harm it back to motivate it to stop.

        We don’t disagree here. I’m just viewing it through the lens of climate and regime change, wherein it appears we’re going to move away from renewables.

        Do it off geothermal all day, so far as I’m concerned. Once you’re burning hydrocarbons, the benefits become far less clear.

          Yeah, the whole aspect of spending AI with all its associated costs to defeat the AI is a whole unpleasant aspect of it, for sure.

          Please have the common sense not to call for violence on a public forum, especially one run by other people. I get where you’re coming from, but it’s doing anyone any good.

      Companies like this need to be criminally charged, but we know that’s not going to happen
