   UK society has always been surprisingly tolerant of mass surveillance. Whether Palantir is involved or not, I think it may be too late to get off the train.

   Only works if the target is running Windows (paranoid people might be on Linux), so you'd probably want to slip in a malicious UEFI driver directly. Tools like UEFITool can be used to analyze and modify the filesystem of a UEFI firmwar

    > AIs reliably induce rage and negativity in humans. Humans become angry and violent if shown AI generated data. It's just a fact at this point. This is more conditioning from moral panic mobs than an innate trait. One could also sa

    Wouldn't it make more sense to strike OpenAI, or Midjourney, or whatever else then? Aside from that, I don't think this "protest" will result in anything more than maybe some increased security (and maybe more arrests if

    I dislike these "non-free" licenses because the actors they purport to stop aren't going to care (why would a terrorist cell care about licenses? if AI training is fair use, then why would AI companies care about licenses?).
