#2So, one example of a politician losing their job at the end of the article? Not exactly making the case for the headline, considering number of words in the article.
And the issue at hand, of course, is really data centers and not AI.

#3All my homies hate AI.
It has really given us a perfect emblem of the worst capitalism has to offer, I'm not holding my breath but perhaps this backlash will precipitate further change to drive us toward a flatter economy and a society that does a better job of rejecting exploitation and concentration of power. One that more effectively serves humanity and allows us to find a much better global optimum.

#4Sounds like wishful thinking. Most Americans I know are furiously using LLMs in every aspect of their lives, tradesmen included.

I’m all for no concentration of power but not at the expense of technological progress.
Are you seeing the physical AI that has just begun to explode over the last few months? Robots can now literally reliably put your clothes into a washing machine, start it, move them to the dryer, pull them out and fold and stack all of them. They can almost reliably rinse and put your dishes into the dishwasher, start it, then pull them out and put them away into your cabinets. This is all paradigm shifting stuff, and I’ll resist any attempt to stall progress in that space so some people can have a job for a few more months.

#7This is hilarious delusion. Not only does America apparently hate AI (lol), but for the first time in a very long time, the American public has apparently managed to successfully mobilise and oust politicians! Plural! and a large enough number to be noteworthy!

Two things can be true. The data centers can be driving up electricity costs, causing pollution, planning issues, and computer hardware shortages _and_ people can be finding the tools useful.

Then mandate clean energy generation for data centers, not some outright ban bullshit.

I don't think Americans hate AI, but many of us really hate how we're being treated like horses destined for the glue factory during the rise of the automobile.
