   This isn’t really about AI, it’s about a culture where threats and coercion in service of one’s own ideology have become normalised.

      Except that corporations are not people (well, except one place). A power imbalance between corporations and humans is enough to justify a lot of non-violent behavior which may be considered non-ethical to fellow people, but totally fine towards a corpo. Boycott is one of such traditional ways.

      Btw. notice how boycott is often perceived as ok to good, while "cancel culture" as bad, while both are identical if the target is corporation.

      Imo, artists boycotting any corporation for any reason at all, even if the Ouija board told them so, are completely justified.
