    Easy to see where this is going. The government has used agents provacateur in the past. All they have to do is get somebody undercover to start talking violent and then step in and sweep up all the activists to “investigate” the “threat”.

    This has a chilling effect and puts the anti-AI movement on ice. The cases drag on through the courts and a huge scandal erupts once people eventually see what has happened. In the meantime, though, all of those data centers get built with only token opposition, because most people are too afraid to speak up.
