Sure, but their point still stands. You can easily make the argument that the backlash against AI and datacenters is specifically driven by people with
jobs to keep, bills to pay, groceries to buy and perhaps even think of the environment
And I don’t see how the backlash is inorganic. You have a new tech being shoved down peoples’ throats that is dog shit at most tasks and passable at some, which is being used to justify layoffs, make workers that keep their jobs work harder, drives up electricity costs, made computer parts unreasonably expensive, uses stupid amounts of power and water to train and outright takes any digital data not nailed down to increase the training data so it can generate shit like revenge porn, deep fakes and CSAM on major social media sites.
If anything, I’m honestly surprised the backlash isn’t stronger and more widespread. But given the politicians this country is electing, I can only assume it’s because a large fraction of us are dumber than fucking bricks and brainlessly parrot anything their media daddies tell them.
