@Npars01 @tomjennings @toastie @Wileymiller @GottaLaff So AI has been a tool developed as a weapon against humanity?

AI initiatives are being funded by the most vehemently anti-democracy billionaires on the planet.

"Who will rid US of these meddlesome billionaires"...

@tdwllms1 @Npars01 @tomjennings @toastie @Wileymiller @GottaLaff I have an odd craving for French toast.
@GreenKnight23 @tdwllms1 @tomjennings @toastie @Wileymiller @GottaLaff
Guillotines aren't the solution unfortunately. Political violence rarely gets you where you want to go.
The French Revolution led to mass violence & settling of scores on innocent religious & ethnic minorities, along with the culpable.
The French got years of civil war then autocracy & perpetual war under a despot Napoleon.
Wresting back control of government for the people by the people is possible through reforms.
@Npars01 @tdwllms1 @tomjennings @toastie @Wileymiller @GottaLaff violence is just another tool that's oddly simultaneously used too often and too late.
reforms are an available option currently, but if they don't provide the solution in the next 15 years, violent rebellion may be our only way to correct the balance.
greed and corruption are akin to cancer in our society and we must remove it at all costs.

The people will.
Spend as little time or money on Amazon, Lowes, Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, Vanguard, AT&T, Uline, ABC Building Supply,
Any corporation donating to Trump or Republicans gets nothing
Encourage everyone to defund the fossil fuel industry by switching to alternatives.
The moneyed are funding an anti-democracy movement.
Vote to end their subsidies, unfair tax breaks, and corporate welfare. Add a wealth tax.
