What are good examples of concrete acts of resistance against "AI"? I am putting together an overview and am surely missing great stuff!

I have:
Data centre opposition (thx to @gerrymcgovern )
Examples of sabotage from @asrg
Some ideas about practical refusal from @danmcquillan

Also everyday acts are great (such as not following orders to use "AI") if they are documented somewhere, somehow. Most references tend to be rather vague (e.g. in this otherwise great article
https://restofworld.org/2026/techno-negative-thomas-dekeyser-fighting-ai/)

Why refusing AI is a fight for the soul

Author Thomas Dekeyser explains why modern resistance to Big Tech is a deeply sane response to a narrow vision of humanity.

The simplest act opposition against #Ai is to engage with politicians to lobby to #regulateAi

It's so effective, Thiel says it's an act of #Antichrist

Everything else is just window dressing.

@n_dimension
I strongly disagree. Wanting to “regulate AI” is to legitimise the existence of “AI”. That is not what I understand as refusal or resistance.

@alineblankertz

We legitimise the existence of carcinogenic cigarettes

We legitimise the existence of militaries

We legitimise the existence of usurious "banking" system that literally destroys lives

We legitimise the existence of industry that destroys earth life support systems

We legitimise the existence of an economic system based in exploitation of the workers

I could go on forever...

The alternative to prohibition is regulation.
And if for some freaky reason, #Ai dissapears, the only people who will have access to Ai will be billionaires and thats not the future you think you want.

The #AiBubble, if it happens will just mean consolidation of the industry into fewer hands.

Unlike most of the Luddites who are just going through their first #AiAnxiety, I've had 35 years to think about AI and humanity, #RegulateAi is the only rational way to mitigate the #Airisks

That's not just my opinion, it's what the international peak science and political class thinks (Bletchely and Seoul agreements)

Anyway, just how effective efforts to regulate Ai are is the fact that Peter Thiel thinks folks like me, who strive to regulate Ai are the literal #Antichrist

He doesn't care about the #resistance, they are not even on his radar.
