A Boring Dystopia

Oh ok, hundreds of millions of people if not billions of people are "extremists" for not wanting to have their lives entirely upended by AI? For a relative few people to make an extreme profit from it.

The ones pushing the AI project so tenaciously on everyone are the ones with an extreme position, so much so that people are united against AI, across such culturally divided political lines. Anti-AI / Anti-data center is one of the only political issues where the regular population is in near unanimous agreement.

News, "The armed deputies known as law enforcement will ride in to defend the "extreme" actions and worldview of the AI oligarchs."

AI will then crush the lives of people who do "law enforcement," too. The boot will also step on lawman.

WHY are People so Upset? Just LET these BILLIONAIRES steal your Water and Homes and Resources so you can FINALLY have a Chatbot that's RIGHT sometimes!

Won't somebody please think of the oligarchs!?

We might be wise to see the real headline here: American intelligence is getting... stupid. As more resources get poured into near-literal witch hunts, wildly unreliable tools become routinely abused, competent staff continues getting cut, and some absolute dipshits keep filling decision making roles, the ability to keep some pretty intense existential threat vectors at bay looks to be getting very uncomfortably diminished. I'm no fan of the American intelligence community myself, nor of any state in general anyway, but we might want to consider the consequences for all of us if a generally competent intelligence community protecting a state with an apocalyptic amount of nuclear weapons starts getting... stupid. I'm worried enough about the instability in Russia and Putin's growing paranoia.

Anarchists or antifa.
