Good. They should fear for their lives as much as they are making their employees fear for their livelihoods.

Maybe if a bunch of executives get dragged into the streets and torn apart by angry mobs, they'll realize as a group that they need to treat their employees less like cogs and more like people

Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.

How would dragging a bunch of executives into the street and tearing them apart actually help? It’s nonsense to go to jail for life or getting the dp because some corporate lackey does his job.

The executives are by design replaceable, even the CEO. OpenAI doesn’t suddenly die because someone murdered Scam Altman, or a bunch of old people sitting on the board of directors.

Their infrastructure is fair game, though. Which means boycotting the data centres to deny them the oxygen they need to survive. These companies are so full of investor money they need to grow, no data centres, no growth, company collapses when investors find out they got scammed hard.

And by going for their infrastructure, I don’t mean with molotovs or industrial cable cutters, I mean the old fashioned way. Find people in your city that want to shape its future for the better and organise. Then force the city council and mayor to pledge allegiance to the people instead of the machines. Once your city is guaranteed data Centre free, look for the next thing to improve.

It works, it’s violence-free, and the outcome is a lot better than spending life in jail.

> It works, it’s violence-free

I'm not interested in violence free, I'm interested in putting the people looting out society for their own benefit in the goddamn ground
