Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.
Rules

- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

The alignment of AI isn't the issue, there will be models that will serve any segment of any population.
The skepticism should be firmly placed where it belongs, the exploitative corporations that are creating crippled, hobbled, worthless models that are designed to sell products and make dim people feel good about themselves and to help highschool students write papers. Current consumer AI products are fun for about 4 hours until you get sick of being lied to or making pictures of "Lola Bunny but real".
We won't see an AI system that can reliably serve your actual needs for maybe decades. This is because they know (or thought) that people would buy anything with "AI" slapped on it and not have to actually create working systems that can do things like basic mathematics and contextual awareness.
Most likely people in china are going to be walking around with AI in their fucking sunglasses that will whisper in their ear whatever they want to know long before we get any cop-sniffers in the US.
