Law enforcement is daft if they think a majority dislike what is happening is called “extremism”.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

That is how they see it. They will willingly shoot these “bad” people. Law enforcement is in direct opposition to individual liberty. It’s tragic because that phrase is a favorite of those that blindly support law enforcement. An American flag with a blue stripe is NOT an American flag. It is the opposite. Freedom and fascism are mutually exclusive.
I remember when I first heard about the blue stripe representing law enforcement and thought to myself “why would anyone claiming to be patriotic want to alter the colors of the flag to symbolize how they represent the country?” Seemed stupid then and is stupid now.
Remember: the ultra-wealthy control the media. They WILL call anti-AI sentiments extremism because they want us arrested and jailed for threatening their profits.
Anti-tech? No. I love tech. What I hate is being exploited.
Just LET these Billionaires STEAL your Water and Jobs and Homes PEASANTS!

One can only hope that there really is a network of people ready to fire bomb these places.
Which brings up the question. How do you bypass the surge suppressors for a data center and cause a power spike that destroys all the ai chips. Asking for a friend.
Just thinking out loud but going after the power seems like a bad approach. Instead you should target the cooling infrastructure. Not sure what you could throw in the air intake to do maximum damage, but I think that's going to be a lot easier to damage than the power would be. Either that or you get clever on the power side. Don't try to do a big spike, instead stress the failovers. Rapidly alternate between low voltage (maybe connecting a massive power shunt across the incoming line) to trip the backup power and normal voltage to get it to switch off of the backup. I'd bet it would handle rapidly swapping back and forth a lot worse than one big spike.
PSA, it's a really bad idea to mess with the kind of high voltage lines that feed these data centers. That's a really good way to end up dead in a very painful manner.
No, I don't think that will do anything but mildly inconvenience them.
We had these chiller units at the lab I used to work at. They are built like a tank, the only vulnerable part is the two pipes carrying water in and out of the building. Plus our security people insisted we surround the chiller with a twelve foot fence topped with barbed wire.
But even if you do shoot out one of the pipes, all that happens is an alarm goes off the and the system does and orderly shuts down. Our system was installed by the lowest bidder and failed all the time, no really problem.
So if you were to do this, all you have done is risk your life and liberty to mildly annoy the powers that be. You'd be more effective running for local government and cutting them off from the municipal water system.
Plus these building aren't wood, they are steel and concrete, you can't even burn them down. Only a transient power event, that overwhelms the surge protection would do any harm.
Say like covertly putting up a lightning rod and running a wire to the building.
But they know they are hated, and these places are well guarded. You will never get close to one. I just don't see a realistic way to do any damage except through the power line running into the building. Maybe via a substation.
As nice as it is to fantasize about this stuff, you're attacking a fortified fixed position. They know you are coming, and law enforcement and government is on their side. Seems like a suicide mission.
Yeah the best bet would be to attack the power lines and be a pain. Maybe attack road infrastructure in the area, for example if they have a bridge undermine it and let them have fun. But yeah the best bet would be to just push out pro AI local officials and then revoke permits and whatnot. Worst case scenario you can't get out of a contract but you can revoke police assistance and ban them from having security or something, would probably depend on how that type of shit works on the legal side of things which I am not familiar with.
Aim for the cooling fins on the large electrical transformers
Step 1: invent religion that considers environmental damage in the name of ai blasphemy Step 2: sue all the data centers Step 3: SCOTUS declares data centers immune to prosecution ...Fuck
Already been done.
Revelation 11:18 in the King James Version states: "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."
They just ignore it.
US Law Enforcement Warns of ‘Anti-Tech Extremism’ as Butlerian Jihad heats up
Trump's counterterrorism czar, Sebastian Gorka, released a public counterterrorism strategy claiming that left-wing extremists are one of the three top counterterrorism priorities facing the United States.
Here’s what the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) says about extremism in the United States: Left-Wing Terrorism and Political Violence in the United States: What the Data Tells Us
While left-wing political violence is “on the rise”, historically, political violence in the United States comes from the Right. Incidents of left-wing violence also tend to have “low lethality rates”.
What Is to Be Done?
“First, the government should avoid overreacting with crackdowns on peaceful organizations, which will serve to strengthen extremist views.”
“Second, it is important to resource all dimensions of the terrorism threat. Left-wing terrorism is a Trump administration priority, but jihadist terrorism also remains a concern even though it has declined. Right-wing terrorism could come roaring back, especially if in 2028 there are complaints of a “stolen election” or similar incendiary claims.”
“Finally, although leaders are not responsible for extremists in their midst, they are responsible for how they behave toward extremists. U.S. political leaders and activists need to lead by condemning violence on their side and calling for calm when it involves violence on the other side.”
Do these sound like the priorities of the Trump administration?
The message is clear. They want to quell opposition, not violence.
