So, given the attack on #SamAltman's house (and how gun-ho many workplaces are for employees to join the #AICult), I expect that anyone #ResistingAI will be next ones to be branded as #Terrorists.

#PauseAI and #StopAI: Meet the #AntiAI groups facing questions after the attack on Sam Altman

By Sharon Goldman
April 15, 2026

Excerpt: "The attempted firebombing of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s San Francisco home last Friday, allegedly carried out by 20-year-old Daniel Moreno-Gama, has drawn attention to two anti-AI groups with similar names: Pause AI and Stop AI. Both have condemned the violence and said the suspect is not and was never a member of their organizations.

"Still, the incident, in which Moreno-Gama also went to #OpenAI’s headquarters and tried to shatter the building’s glass doors with a chair and threatened to burn the facility, surfaced his activity on Pause AI’s Discord server and renewed scrutiny of Stop AI’s direct actions targeting OpenAI last year."

Is there a thing like a post-AI aesthetics working group, that discusses the possible creative strategies elevated in consequence of the AI/AGI phenomenons?
#ai #resistingAI #art #aesthetics #phylosophy

Now AI is everywhere, behind every text input, every search bar and every timeline, it is time to re-enchant pre-AI behaviors to rise them to a new nature that is not only defined by “non-AI”. Those tools, contents, will be the exception, maybe fruits of some sort of new privilege. It is not just about resisting AI, it is also about designing how desirable and accessible this privilege can be.

Saved by bureaucracy - phew! Unless the bureaucratic approach to the world is a foundational part of the problem, and harmful AI is bureaucracy on steroids....🤔 #AIAct #ResistingAI

"There is some optimism in policy, the public sector and industry about the potential for these models to enhance public services in the context of budgetary restraints and growing user needs" https://www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/policy-briefing/foundation-models-public-sector/ No, no, no @AdaLovelaceInst this is exactly what I warned about https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/resisting-ai

@slackbastard @danmcquillan @sexenheimer great episode - thanks for the insights into #resistingAI.

No thanks though for ending with Mi Sex rather than Kraftwerk 😱🤣

Re-reading 'On the genealogy of machine learning datasets: A critical history of ImageNet' by @alexhanna. So clear the LLM debacle goes back to the start of the DL boom; it's data fetish, flat universalism, social illiteracy & contempt for workers https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20539517211035955

'Babylon Health’s CEO Should Spend Some Time With Elizabeth Holmes' https://medcitynews.com/2023/09/babylon-healthcare-ai-uk/ after-the-fact leaks by ex-employees are fine but why weren't we able to stop this dangerous bs in its tracks? We need workers' and people's councils on AI #ResistingAI https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/resisting-ai

With #Luddism back on the agenda, I'm re-upping this talk from 2021: 'Obnoxious Machines - the prospects for Luddism in the era of AI' https://danmcquillan.org/obnoxious-machines-the-prospects-for-luddism-in-the-era-of-ai.html

Great chat with https://twitter.com/sexenheimer/ & https://twitter.com/slackbastard of the Yeah Nah Pasaran! pod https://www.3cr.org.au/yeahnahpasaran; episode will be dropping in a couple of weeks. I'm very chuffed when the need for 'An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence' is taken seriously by actual anti-fascists ✊ #ai #antifa #ResistingAI

"Rather than being an apocalyptic technology, AI is more aptly characterized as a form of supercharged bureaucracy that ramps up everyday cruelties" 'Resisting AI' p4 https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/resisting-ai

Climate Justice and Labor Rights | Part II: Labor Organizing and Environmental Justice in Tech, Past and Present' - great piece by https://twitter.com/tamigraph. While the focus is on climate justice, many of the proposals for action overlap with those in 'Resisting AI'

On the first anniversary of 'Resisting AI' it's fantastic to have a podcast episode that captures the core arguments of the book, tramples on the generative AI hype, and explores possible futures through the technopolitical imaginaries of solarpunk! Huge thanks to @solarpunkcast

It's been a year since the publication of 'Resisting AI', and I think it's fair to say the need to actually resist AI is more urgent than ever.

I'm worried that a focus on the cultish TESCREAL ideologies of Silicon Valley might divert from the interplay between AI and the surrounding social and political currents, which are showing ever more signs of being in a pre-fascist historical phase

"Self-Consuming Generative Models Go MAD" https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.01850
- another reason why generative AI should be called degenerative AI (the main reason being the degenerative effect it will have when substituting for actual teaching, healthcare, therapy etc)
