There's a limit to that greater good sorta sentiment. Pretty sure if they came to aid with good intentions, nobody would be stupid enough to crack a source of power. What if somebody came to your house, say they wanna place their fridge there, but you can use it as long as there's space. And they're free to just go into your house to grab whatever they need, but they also filled the fridge to the point you can't use it.

You also don't know how to open that fridge. It's just taking up space, and you haven't even consented. But that fridge can feed... I dunno, some employees at a big company.

This is a misrepresentation because that isn't how energy (or the food in your example) is distributed. The power doesn't only go the the company. Anyone is allowed to purchase the service. The factory would pay to use the power grid, they would employee workers to make products that would be circulated locally. The workers would take home pay that they could use to buy electricity to raise their standard of living.

Instead they destroy the solar panels.

idk about that when you consider things like true AI being possible. There are a lot of people scared about it, and they should be, but if we ever had a true AI, I'm sure a lot of problems could be solved quickly. Plus, 80 years is a long time. 80 years ago was1938. That was waaaaay different than today.

This concept is called the Technological singularity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity

According to this hypothesis, an upgradable intelligent agent (such as a computer running software-based artificial general intelligence) would enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, with each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an intelligence explosion and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that would, qualitatively, far surpass all human intelligence. This would signal the end of the human era, as the new superintelligence would continue to upgrade itself and would advance technologically at an incomprehensible rate.

Extremely interesting/frightening theory.

When you have limited sources of electricity and you destroy one of the main sources that goes beyond simple vandalism.

How so?

Because the representation you put forth isn't accurate. Show me an example in America of a systematic destruction of our infrastructure by large groups of the local populace.

legendarylemur posted...

This is India, and kinda sounds like some companies made them do all the work, used their land illegally, and didn't pay them anything. As far as we know, those solar energy were probably gonna be used for factories and shit owned by those companies and no aid whatsoever to the population

And those factories would have employed citizens and produced good to purchase furthering their economic growth.

Oops, now we can't do that since there's no more electricity. Guess we'll light some candles and start a bonfire.

Someone comes in and illegally exploits 3rd world country's population to build solar panels. Refuses to pay them because the company is either cheap, thought they could get away with it, didn't consider them people, or any combination of the three.

Locals smash the exploitative company's assets so that the company can't benefit from their illegal exploitation.

FTFY

All of that is irrelevant but it's a nice smooth pivot.

They may have hurt the company, they also hurt millions of their fellow countrymen and denied them access to electricity.

Someone comes in and spends money to help create infrastructure in this 3rd world country.

Locals smash the new infrastructure.

3rd world stays 3rd world unless there's something i'm missing which would make the smashing of their solar panels a better choice than leaving them to produce electricity.

So again what is the benefit i'm missing for the locals to smash their infrastructure.

TC. Since the day you were born the US has had the ability to exterminate nearly all of the population of North Korea overnight and has had targetting solutions programmed in to do exactly that. Why would some drones scare Kim Jong Un more than the sword hanging over his entire country?

You're comparing total annihilation of a country to a single undetectable night time operation to destroy a single are of a building?

Kim would be aware of a large incoming military campaign to dispose him. Compare that to the possibility that at any time a small aerial craft could kill him with no warning and yes that is much scarier.

The U.S. is to deploy new attack drones in South Korea that could be used to kill North Korean leaders and launch pinpoint strikes on its missile launch pads.

Twelve Gray Eagle/MQ-1Cs will arrive at an air base in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province in March and April. Their deployment coincides with joint South Korea-U.S. drills that will be staged in early April right after the closing of the Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang.

The Gray Eagle is an improved version of the MQ-1 Predator, the leading U.S. medium-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle, and has both strike and reconnaissance capabilities.

It could hit a vehicle carrying North Korean leaders, a missile launch site, or mobile missile launchers with four Hellfire anti-tank missiles or four Viper Strike small guided precision bombs. Each GPS-guided Viper Strike bomb weighs 20 kg and is accurate to within 1 meter so it can destroy even a fast-moving vehicle.

Better sleep tight while you still can Kimmy. You'll never be safe again once these bad boys are flying through your neighborhood.
