"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.

A society without taxes is not a society I want to live in. What, I have to build my own roads? Or are they all going to be for-profit toll roads? Fuck that noise. I want a government whose job is to make a society I want to live in. We don't have that government, but once we do I will happily pay taxes to that government.
Agreed. So we need a decent government before we pay taxes.
I'm up for a tax strike if it's sufficiently organized. We aren't going to accomplish shit going up against this system on our own.
Yes an organized strike would be good, and even an unorganized mass strike would do. Without a mass strike we can still be effective however by opting out of the system as much as possible, minimizing taxes and forming parallel societies.
