🗞 原文与参考译文
Part 1 · 开篇：暴力案例的集中浮现
[EN] When a 20-year-old man from Texas was arrested earlier this year for allegedly trying to burn down OpenAI's headquarters and Sam Altman's house, authorities found an anti-AI manifesto alongside his lighter and a jug of kerosene. It was one of a spate of attacks that has caused alarm among researchers, the tech industry and law enforcement about the rise of anti-tech extremism.
[ZH] 今年年初，德克萨斯州一名 20 岁男子因涉嫌企图焚烧 OpenAI 总部和 Sam Altman 住所而被捕。警方在其随身物品中发现了一份反 AI 宣言——以及一个打火机和一桶煤油。这不过是接连多起事件之一；一系列袭击正在让研究人员、科技业界和执法机构对「反技术极端主义」的崛起拉响警报。
[EN] In April, an Italian "nature pilled" Instagram influencer was arrested in Rome and charged with plotting a series of anti-tech attacks that took inspiration from Ted "The Unabomber" Kaczynski. Two self-described "ecofascists" that carried out a deadly anti-Muslim attack on a mosque in San Diego last month also cited "AI slop" and JD Vance's ties to Palantir as motivations for their violence in their manifesto.
[ZH] 四月，意大利一名自称「自然药丸」（nature pilled）的 Instagram 博主在罗马被捕，被指控策划一系列以「炸弹客」泰德·卡钦斯基为灵感的反技术袭击。上个月，两名自称「生态法西斯主义者」的凶手对圣地亚哥一座清真寺发动了致命袭击，其宣言中将「AI 垃圾内容」与 JD Vance 同风险技术公司 Palantir 的关联列为暴力动机。
[EN] "AI is becoming this driver of political violence, and that's a very new phenomenon," said Jordyn Abrams, a researcher at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University.
[ZH] 「AI 正在成为政治暴力的驱动力，这是一个非常新的现象。」乔治·华盛顿大学极端主义研究项目的研究员乔丹·艾布拉姆斯如此表示。
Part 2 · 历史脉络：从卢德运动到「炸弹客」
[EN] The modern anti-tech movement has a long lineage. Periods of technological change are historically accompanied by backlash from the people most affected, with researchers often pointing to the early 19th-century luddite rebellion of British textile workers smashing automated knitting machines as they demanded more labor rights.
[ZH] 现代反技术运动有着悠久的谱系。历史上每逢重大技术变革，受冲击最深的群体往往会引发强烈反弹。研究者常以 19 世纪初的「卢德运动」为例——英国纺织工人砸毁自动织机，以此争取劳动权益。
[EN] In the 1990s, there was cultural pushback against the rise of the personal computer and the fear of how it would disrupt society. "Haven't you heard? It wants your job. It peddles you smut. It corrupts your kids. It's cold, sterile, inhuman. Suddenly, it's okay to hate your computer," read a New York Magazine cover story from 1995 on the "New Luddites".
[ZH] 20 世纪 90 年代，个人电脑的兴起同样招致文化层面的强烈抵触，人们对其扰乱社会秩序忧心忡忡。《纽约杂志》1995 年一篇关于「新卢德主义者」的封面报道写道：「你没听说吗？它要抢你的工作，向你兜售色情，败坏你的孩子，它冷漠、无菌、没人味。突然之间，讨厌电脑竟然是政治正确了。」
[EN] The same year, the Washington Post and the New York Times published the Unabomber's anti-tech manifesto, a 35,000-word screed against industrial society that has proliferated online in the years since and become the closest thing that anti-tech extremism has to a foundational text.
[ZH] 同年，《华盛顿邮报》和《纽约时报》联合刊登了「炸弹客」的反技术宣言——一篇长达 3.5 万字的反工业社会檄文。此后数十年，这份宣言在网络上广泛流传，几乎成为反技术极端主义唯一的「奠基文本」。
Part 3 · AI 时代的独特激进化机制
[EN] What separates anti-AI extremism from these previous waves of tech backlash, researchers say, is partly the speed and scale of how AI is bringing about economic, social and political change.
[ZH] 研究者指出，将反 AI 极端主义与以往历次技术反弹区别开来的，部分在于 AI 引发经济、社会与政治变革的速度和规模。
[EN] "Not only are these whole-of-society changes and not only are they really disruptive, they're happening really quickly," Veilleux-Lepage said. "There isn't time for people to build resilience or to inoculate themselves from these changes."
[ZH] 「这些不只是全社会性的变革，不只是真正具有颠覆性，它们发生得极快，」韦勒-勒帕热说，「人们根本来不及培养应对这些变化的韧性，也来不及对自己'接种'以防被这些变化侵蚀。」
[EN] The AI industry's longstanding talking points – that the technology will revolutionize the world, if not end it – also lend themselves to a radicalizing narrative that AI poses an existential threat and must be stopped at all costs. When Veilleux-LePage gives talks to policymakers about anti-tech extremism, one of his slides simply features a series of quotes from CEOs.
[ZH] AI 行业长期以来的话语体系——技术将颠覆乃至终结这个世界——本身也为激进化叙事提供了土壤：AI 是生死存亡的威胁，必须不惜一切将其阻止。每次韦勒-勒帕热向政策制定者讲授反技术极端主义时，他的 PPT 里有一张幻灯片，上面只列着一排科技 CEO 的语录。
[EN] "In order to radicalize people, you don't actually need to have theorists or ideologues that are calling people to violence against AI, because the tech CEOs are doing a pretty good case," Veilleux-LePage said.
[ZH] 「要把人激进化，你根本不需要什么理论家或意识形态家来号召对 AI 发动暴力——科技 CEO 们自己就把论据摆得相当充分了。」他说。
Part 4 · 权力结构与暴力激励
[EN] The closing off of legitimate avenues to address public opposition to AI, as well as the feeling that the technology is being forced upon society, is creating what researchers describe as a gap in accountability that can further incentivize terrorism and political violence.
[ZH] 合法表达反 AI 主张的渠道不断收窄，加之技术被强行推进社会的感受，正在制造研究者所描述的「问责真空」——而这恰恰可能进一步激励恐怖主义和政治暴力。
[EN] Donald Trump, in alignment with tech leaders, issued an executive order last year attempting to block any state-level legislation that would rein in AI development. Tech billionaires are also pouring millions of dollars into lobbying and political spending in an attempt to prevent regulation of AI.
[ZH] 特朗普去年与科技领袖步调一致，签署行政令，试图封堵各州限制 AI 发展的立法。与此同时，科技亿万富翁们也在向游说活动和政治献金砸入数百万美元，力阻 AI 监管。
[EN] "When authorities are too busy, or just don't care enough, to regulate and take action, then people affected are going to take action," said Mauro Lubrano, a lecturer at the University of Bath and author of Stop the Machines: The Rise of Anti-Technology Extremism.
[ZH] 「当当局太忙，或是根本不够在意，懒得去监管、懒得采取行动，那些受到影响的人就会自己采取行动，」巴斯大学讲师、《停止机器：反技术极端主义的崛起》一书作者毛罗·卢布拉诺说道。
[EN] "We have this opportunity to be proactive in this while avoiding mistakes that we've made in the past when responding to other forms of extremism," Lubrano said. "Something tells me that we're not off to a great start."
[ZH] 「我们有机会在这件事上主动出击，同时避免过去应对其他形式极端主义时犯过的错误，」卢布拉诺说，「但我有种感觉，我们并没有一个好的开端。」

🔍 长难句语法拆解
句子一
原句：The AI industry's longstanding talking points – that the technology will revolutionize the world, if not end it – also lend themselves to a radicalizing narrative that AI poses an existential threat and must be stopped at all costs.
主干提取（SVO）：
- S（主语）：The AI industry's longstanding talking points（AI 行业长期以来的话语体系）
- V（谓语）：lend themselves to（使自身适合于；为……提供条件）
- O（宾语）：a radicalizing narrative（一种激进化叙事）
语法现象拆解：
①
– that the technology will revolutionize the world, if not end it – 是一段破折号插入语（parenthetical dash clause），对 talking points 的内容进行补充说明，结构上相当于一个同位语从句。if not end it = 「如果不是终结它的话」，是一个省略条件从句，完整表达为 even if it does not end it。②
that AI poses an existential threat and must be stopped at all costs 是修饰 narrative 的定语从句（限定性），其中 at all costs = 不惜一切代价，是固定短语。③
lend themselves to 是固定搭配，意为「使自己适合于 / 助长了……」，相当于 contribute to，是六级写作中可替换 cause/lead to 的高级表达。句子二
原句：The closing off of legitimate avenues to address public opposition to AI, as well as the feeling that the technology is being forced upon society, is creating what researchers describe as a gap in accountability that can further incentivize terrorism and political violence.
主干提取（SVO）：
- S（主语）：The closing off of legitimate avenues...（合法渠道的封堵……）
- V（谓语）：is creating（正在制造）
- O（宾语）：what researchers describe as a gap in accountability...（研究者所描述的问责真空……）
语法现象拆解：
①
as well as the feeling that... 是并列介词短语，作为第二个主语并入主语部分；英语中 A as well as B 结构谓语通常与 A（更近的主语）保持一致，因此 is 为单数。②
what researchers describe as a gap 是 what 引导的名词性从句作宾语，结构为 what + 主语 + describe + as + 名词，意为「研究者将其描述为……的东西」。③
that can further incentivize terrorism and political violence 是修饰 gap 的定语从句（限定性）；incentivize = 激励、为……提供动机，是六级/雅思常用商业词汇，这里语义已延伸至极端主义领域。④ 动名词短语
The closing off of legitimate avenues to address public opposition to AI 是整句的主语，其内部还嵌套了不定式 to address（目的状语）和介词短语 to AI（修饰 opposition），形成三层嵌套，是典型的长难句。References
