The world's tech billionaires are starting to moderate their rhetoric on AI automation, but that doesn't mean it's all in good faith.

As data centers are shut down by angry mobs and AI surveillance cameras are ripped from their poles, the world’s tech billionaires and CEOs are waking up to the reality that the masses are, broadly speaking, not on board with their plan to automate the world with AI.

    A society without taxes is not a society I want to live in. What, I have to build my own roads? Or are they all going to be for-profit toll roads? Fuck that noise. I want a government whose job is to make a society I want to live in. We don’t have that government, but once we do I will happily pay taxes to that government.

        I’m up for a tax strike if it’s sufficiently organized. We aren’t going to accomplish shit going up against this system on our own.

          Yes an organized strike would be good, and even an unorganized mass strike would do. Without a mass strike we can still be effective however by opting out of the system as much as possible, minimizing taxes and forming parallel societies.
