What are we doing to stop AI?

I'm not doing anything about "AI" because "AI" doesn't exist.

As far as the many, disparate technologies that are called "AI", I judge them each on their own merits like any technology. But it's important to be aware that capitalism ultimately develops and uses all technology for violent control. There's nothing special about "AI" in this respect.

Lastly I resist any technology that's actively oppressive whether people call it "AI" or not. It's difficult to talk about precise tactics because every technology is different with its own applications. For example, a company like Palantir should be stopped from infiltrating and exploiting our data on a mass scale. Similarly we should try to stop the automation of war and genocide. Etc. However these problems are nothing new and people have been trying to develop tactics for a long time.

Religion

I feel like "religion" is an extremely vague term. As a first order approximation, I generally distinguish between good and bad religion. I usually call good religion "spirituality" and I call bad religion "religion" or "cults". It's not a strict dichotomy but a scale of measure. I'm more/less likely to support a "religion" depending on how good/bad it is. As far as how I measure "good" and "bad", that's where the anarchism comes in. Religion should be liberating, not oppressive. Etc.
