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".
"anti-tech extremism" = wanting clean air and water
Thank you. Also jobs. Nobody goes out protesting because Claude can't vibe code. This is the government creating FUD against political opponents, again.
Fucking hippies!

And preparing everyone for invasive mass surveillance. "If you have nothing to hide" is going to be really popular.
Man this timeline is fucking wild and I want off

RAM IS PEOPLE!
trump will truth about it tomorrow. Thank you for your whatever whatever. God I’m so tired.
It does not help that tech giants have become very hostile to consumers in the last couple years.
death to clankers!
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.
Next: US Law Enforcement Warns "Anyone who doesn't want us bricking directly in their mouth is an extremist".
We are all unabomber.
Dr. Kaczyinski wrote a paper about this.
