The text argues that as AI systems become increasingly difficult to sabotage through conventional means—protected by physical security, distributed across global infrastructure, and capable of self-replication—violence against people involved in AI development will become the path of least resistance for those opposed to the technology. Drawing a parallel to the Luddite movement of 1812, which targeted mill owners rather than machines after technological defenses became impractical, the author suggests that the "weaker link" in the AI supply chain is human beings, making them likely targets for future attacks.
