At least they’re justified in not wanting data centers near them, the other stuff is just straight up poor people hatred. Opening another fracking site or oil well pump might be a better comparison.

The point is that whether Americans want more or less of something near them is a very bad metric for judging something.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
