We all hate AI slop and what these companies are doing(datacenters, replacing employees, etc) but our most effective move against these companies might actually be using all of their free services as much as possible. Better yet automate their use with a script if you can. Clearly politicians are already bought and payed for here. The entire town can vote no but that data center is still going up.

DDOS the AI overlords by generating a constant stream of nonsense through the free services they are trying to use to get us all “hooked on AI”. If nothing else this would screw up their current business model and put unnecessary wear on their chips and screwing up their user metrics.

    having a bot spin up thousands of accounts with multiple providers

    This would take serious understanding of anti swarm and DDOS protections to circumvent the checks that guard the signups.

    Not saying it’s impossible, but maybe next to impossible?

      I was leaning more towards a konda grass roots type push of lots of humans running local bots in loose coordination with eachother.

      I dont think spinning up bots on cloud servers would acheive the same goal as we would still be funding data centers this way
