    I install this ublock list on every machine, it (among many things) removes ai results from search engines, which are often the entry door for people..

    An excellent list that sadly seems to become outdated (maintenance has stalled, for unknown reasons).

    While waiting for an update, you might consider using this fork:

        @megaphon @alineblankertz @gerrymcgovern @asrg @danmcquillan Maybe they do not want to hire and pay artists to draw. Same happens with music. Very few people are interested in new artworks. Even less are willing to pay for them.

        Since you're Potsdam based, I assume 1. you know some German and 2. you might therefore enjoy this AI, art and cake themed take:

          What are good examples of concrete acts of resistance against "AI"? I am putting together an overview and am surely missing great stuff!

          I have:
          Data centre opposition (thx to @gerrymcgovern )
          Examples of sabotage from @asrg
          Some ideas about practical refusal from @danmcquillan

          Also everyday acts are great (such as not following orders to use "AI") if they are documented somewhere, somehow. Most references tend to be rather vague (e.g. in this otherwise great article
          https://restofworld.org/2026/techno-negative-thomas-dekeyser-fighting-ai/)

          @alineblankertz @gerrymcgovern @asrg @danmcquillan Learn a skill that they make “obsolete” (drawing, writing, coding, etc) and post about it, even if you dont think its all that good.

          I’ve been learning to draw for the last year now

                AI is about as "cool" as a red MAGA hat.

                Push that "uncool" AI image. because it is true and accurate and it hits. No one worth talking to is still MAGA. Anyone worth talking to, already hates them.

                and educate. IRL and online, educate yourself, your friends, your co-workers,-- and, if you have kids, educate them, especially them.

                Anti-AI talking points are not hard to find--use them.

                Track, publicize and oppose new datacenters.

                  The simplest act opposition against #Ai is to engage with politicians to lobby to #regulateAi

                  It's so effective, Thiel says it's an act of #Antichrist

                  Everything else is just window dressing.

                      I strongly disagree. Wanting to “regulate AI” is to legitimise the existence of “AI”. That is not what I understand as refusal or resistance.

                        @alineblankertz

                        We legitimise the existence of carcinogenic cigarettes

                        We legitimise the existence of militaries

                        We legitimise the existence of usurious "banking" system that literally destroys lives

                        We legitimise the existence of industry that destroys earth life support systems

                        We legitimise the existence of an economic system based in exploitation of the workers

                        I could go on forever...

                        The alternative to prohibition is regulation.
                        And if for some freaky reason, #Ai dissapears, the only people who will have access to Ai will be billionaires and thats not the future you think you want.

                        The #AiBubble, if it happens will just mean consolidation of the industry into fewer hands.

                        Unlike most of the Luddites who are just going through their first #AiAnxiety, I've had 35 years to think about AI and humanity, #RegulateAi is the only rational way to mitigate the #Airisks

                        That's not just my opinion, it's what the international peak science and political class thinks (Bletchely and Seoul agreements)
