#72Violence won't solve anything, everyone is worse off.
I agree, French Revolution was pretty peaceful
> French Revolution was pretty peaceful
The elites after the French Revolution were not only mostly the same as before, they escaped with so much money and wealth that it’s actually debated if they increased their wealth share through the chaos [1].

This is obviously true, but you're just inviting the rebuttals. Arguments that civil violence is unproductive are boring and obvious. Normal people have been acculturated to understand the point already. The only way to have an "interesting" conversation about this is to take the other side. All of those arguments will be vile, as they have to be given the context. I'm not criticizing you, and I guess I'm glad someon…
In high school the 90s, I learned about what the founding fathers said about violence. But, I guess that's too 18th century now.

but we haven't even proven that AI will destroy vast amounts of jobs. Some, sure, junior software engineers are in trouble. but other then that, do we really have any quantified evidence as to how many jobs have been displaced by AI? i've been looking for numbers on this but it all seems murky and wishy washy. i'm open to be convinced, if anyone's got numbers.
also, if the worst case scenario does happen and most of the population finds itself without money. there are other ways to live with very little money.

> these people don't care about a history lesson - they act as they do irrespective of logic
I doubt they’re on this forum.
> Clearly you're not a fella who's faced much hardship in life
Ha. Putting my own past aside, I’ve found it’s folks who grew up never knowing violence who are the quickest to embrace it.
> They already do
There is always more.

Just to clarify, here's my actual position - it was only implied in the first comment so I'll spell it out: 1. We shouldn't kill or harass or destroy the property of someone like Altman. AKA, I'm not in disagreement with your take on abiding by the laws of the land. 2. But it's not surprising that such things happen to individuals like him, for reasons outlined. Put it this way - if I was in his position, I would be…
> it's not surprising that such things happen to individuals like him
It’s understandable. But that also justifies a crackdown against it. I want to see AI regulation. Dumbfucks shooting a housekeeper in Sam Altman’s house is only going to stall that.

The fact that he would rather live in an underground bunker (than simply not let things get that out of hand) says a lot about his humanity.
> that he would rather live in an underground bunker
He isn’t, never has and never will. I know some of the bunker people. They basically have them in the way you or I might have a fancy tool in the garage or piece of art. It’s a discussion piece for a different class of wealth.

Treating a rigged game as fair doesn't make it fair, it just makes you easier to beat.
> Treating a rigged game as fair doesn't make it fair, it just makes you easier to beat Not playing at all makes you easier to beat still. Anyone pining for civil war should vacation in a war zone first. It’s difficult to encapsulate the privilege of peace until it’s been lost.
What do you say to the people in Minneapolis demanding justice for the murder of Alex Pretti?
