If ICE agents storming our streets didn’t prompt resistance, then no.

Did you forget the people launching a general strike after ICE gunned down protesters in Minneapolis? They got Border Patrol commander Bovino to resign and ICE to retreat to pre-surge levels, and since then we've seen resignations of Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, and National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent.

It's not mass violence, but there has certainly been resistance. The violence only comes when people are too desperate and impatient for peaceful means, right now they still have jobs and housing and healthcare and believe there might be a future where Republicans are voted out. Once those things are taken away, though, no amount of surveillance will stop the violence.

"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.
