"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's mostly a question of popular support and government response. If you can act with impunity, it doesn't matter whether your actions are legal.
Non-violent resistance tends to be more effective at gathering support. If the support is there and non-violence doesn't achieve the desired result, violence is the likely escalation. However, because the state generally has a greater capacity to apply force, that support is critical to help the opposition evade enforcement.
Of course, if the government supports the extra-legal violence, the whole theoretical framework of resistance is out the window anyway.
