What sentiment does rebeltechalliance have about AI? It barely mentions it, and is clearly focused on the modes of mass surveillance.

To that end, there are two different discussions:

Does AI technology itself facilitate mass surveillance, any more than smartphone adoption has?

Does the financing structure of data centers facilitate mass surveillance; more than it facilitates advancements in AI?

They started originally to help people move away from Big Tech, but they do say early on the homepage:

> And now AI is making all that much worse...

As for your questions, I agree those are different and related discussions that I'm not looking to bring here, as I'm not sure it'll be necessarily productive, but I'm happy to be proven wrong!
