Don't bother. Moz management don't give a shit and haven't been giving a shit for a LONG time. It's like the f*cking magas, the more you tell them no, the more they double down ...
They don't need to overthrow democracy, they just need to use jurisdiction removal to have the state charges placed in federal court, and then appeal it up to SCOTUS who will overturn the decision.
The US couldn't win a war in the middle east with trillions of dollars, thousands of soldiers dead, and tens of thousands substantially wounded. Hasn't won a war since WW2. Is everything going swimmingly? Certainly not. There are 340M Americans, ~20k-30k ICE folks, and ~1M soldiers on US soil. These odds don't keep me up at night. 77% of US 18-24 cohort don't qualify for military service without some form of waiver (due to obesity, drug use, or mental health issues).
I admit, US propaganda is very good at projecting an image of strength. I strongly doubt it is prepared for a civil ground war, based on all available evidence. It cannot even keep other nation states out of critical systems. See fragile systems for what they are.
There are 340 million Americans, but 80 million of them voted for this administration, and another 80 million were not interested either way. Only about 20% of the population voted to oppose it.
If you're imagining a large scale revolt, figure that the revolutionaries will be outnumbered by counter-revolutionaries, even without the military. (Which would also include police forces amounting to millions more.)
I have no confidence in the gravy seals of this country, broadly speaking. What’s the average health and age of someone who voted for this? Not great, based on the evidence, especially considering the quality of ICE folks (bottom of the barrel).
The "bubble" is in the financial investment, not in the technology. AI won't disappear after the bubble bursts, just like the web didn't disappear after 2000. If anything, bursting the financial bubble will most likely encourage researchers to experiment more, trying a larger range of cheaper approaches, and do more fundamental engineering rather than just scaling.
AI is here to stay, and the only thing that can stop it at this stage is a Butlerian jihad.
Borg logic consists of framing matters of choice as "inevitable". As long as those with power convince everyone that technological implementation is "inevitable", people will passively accept their self-serving and destructive technological mastery of the world.
The framing allows the rest of us to get ourselves off the hook. "We didn't have a choice! It was INEVITABLE!"
But history shows that it is inevitable. Can you give me an example of a single useful technology that humans ever stopped developing because of its negative externalities?
> "We didn't have a choice! It was INEVITABLE!"
There is no "we". You can call it the tragedy of the commons, or Moloch, or whatever you want, but I don't see how you can convince every single developer and financial sponsor on the planet to stop using and developing this (clearly very useful) tech. And as long as you can't, it's socially inevitable.
If you want a practice run, see if you can stop everyone in the world from smoking tobacco, which is so much more clearly detrimental. If you manage that, you might have a small chance at stopping implementation of AI.
> see if you can stop everyone in the world from smoking tobacco
this is a logical fallacy i think; nobody needs to stop tobacco full-stop, but we have been extremely successful at making it less and less incentivized/used over time, which is the goal...
I maintain, the web today is not what people though it would be in 1998. The tech has it's uses, it's just not what snake oil sellers are making it to be. And talking about Butlerian jihad is borderline snake oil selling.
That might be how uv got fast but that is not why it got popular.
PyPA has been a mess for a very long time for in-fighting, astroturfing, gatekeeping and so on with pip being the battlefield. The uv team just did one thing that PyPA & co stopped doing a long time ago (if they ever did ...) : actually solving pain point of their user and never saying "it's not possible because [insert bullshit]" or reply "it's OSS, do it yourself" to then reject the work with attitude and baseless argument.
They listened to their user's issues and solved their pain points without denying them. period.
I'm done. Starting to look for an alternative.
