We all hate AI slop and what these companies are doing(datacenters, replacing employees, etc) but our most effective move against these companies might actually be using all of their free services as much as possible. Better yet automate their use with a script if you can. Clearly politicians are already bought and payed for here. The entire town can vote no but that data center is still going up.
DDOS the AI overlords by generating a constant stream of nonsense through the free services they are trying to use to get us all “hooked on AI”. If nothing else this would screw up their current business model and put unnecessary wear on their chips and screwing up their user metrics.


You tell me. Many people don’t like dialectical thinking.

But this makes me think back to a video I saw not long ago about clean room engineering.

Now, while obviously dangerous for open source, could we not utilize AI in the same way to legally recreate proprietary software and code and release it as open source? As a means of fighting back?
Your suggestion of promoting AI-generated product as expression and their idea of poisoning the AI well are not the same.
A dialectical discussion can and often does include “no, your suggestion is counterproductive and undesirable.”
