Zizians Now Considered A Terroristic Threat
3 months ago by ivyastrix to c/sneerclub
Looks like both the feds and state law enforcement / intelligence agencies are tracking the Zizians now.
Ah, that one AI2027 blog post where they tried to convince people not to commit terrorism by opening the article by talking about how man’s fate may be sealed in two years time. Incredibly smart idea.
It helps that most of their audience seems incapable of considering that non-market driven societal change could be possible, better spend a fuckton of philanthropy money to buy a castle in case it helps indoctrinate a John Galt type to argue AI safety on our behalf, that'll solve everything.
they have been watching spacey odessey one too many time.
This new effort follows President Donald Trump's National Security Presidential Memo 7, which instructs the Department of Justice to target anyone holding “anti-American,” “anti-Christian,” and "anti-capitalism” beliefs.
well this whole read was a reminder about how much of an AI bootlicker Trump is.
@lurker I don’t understand what “target” means in this context. Is there a crime to be investigated? As far as I know, you can’t be prosecuted for beliefs.
They literally jailed a guy for making light of Charlie Kirk's bullet related mishap in social media, and a group of pro-palestine protestors winning their case after months of trials is still fresh on the news.
So you most certainly can be prosecuted.
Sure it counts, getting out of indeterminate time pre-trial holding with a payout after the state has charged you with a felony is a hell of a dice roll, compared to the alternative of not exercising free speech in the first place.
yeah not every defendant has the resources to contact the right legal help to get the detention overturned or compensated
like, say you get held without bond for 2 or 3 weeks, then released, you might lose your job or miss paying rent or any number of other real world effects, this has an obvious chilling effect on speech
Sadly due to a large increase of crime the time until your case will go to trial has increased to ... three years
... five years
... ten years
... thirty years
... a hundred years ...
In the mean time, make yourself useful to society by working in jail to earn your keep.
@Architeuthis That’s crazy. What’s the crime?
Posting memes about the killing on facebook apparently: https://www.pbs.org/...
The Palestine Action stuff was in the UK, my bad.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

And so on and so forth, a good part of the article is about how the feds are afraid that once the trial gets going basically people will think Ziz is making too much sense and anti-AI-infrastructure violence escalates.
Yud, despite his near-infinite IQ, will apparently be the last one to suspect that grassroots organized violence is an incredibly obvious short-term solution to the alleged problem he's spent most of his life beating the drum about.
And let's not forget that ridiculous AI2027 assertion that people who are faced with almost certain annihilation should not pursue extreme uncooperative actions.
