    it really puts into perspective how wrongly americans are implementing automation like AI -- people are rejecting it like the Luddites did to their textile machines and not a single one of them seem to be aware that it didn't work for the Luddites, but are somehow convinced that it''ll work for them anyways.

    It's not that they're wrong, it's that the populace is acutely award that the benefits of productivity gains flow exclusively to the top 0.1% of the population. As far as most of America is concerned, data centers are factories that raise their prices on everything, while causing poverty. All the collective gains that could be made, are completely and intentionally cut off.
