The only thing growing faster than AI right now is how much regular people absolutely hate it.
I've never seen public opinion turn this quickly.
48 data center projects worth $156 billion got blocked last year and 20 were canceled in the first quarter of this year.
Tech executives are getting booed during college graduation speeches. Someone threw a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's home.

In Missouri, voters ousted 4 city council members. The reason? They'd approved a $6 billion data center one week earlier.
360,000 Americans have joined Facebook groups fighting data center expansion.
Energy bills are rising because data centers drain power grids. Wells are running dry near server farms. People fear losing their jobs. The revolt is here.

No one had to be surveiled and coerced to use the web.
No one was threatened with loss of career and livelihood for not joining one-or-another social media platform.
But people are being fired for not using AI and others aren't even able to start a career because, surely, the moment when "it's gotten better" is just around the next quarterly report.
If you're trying to be funny, you have failed your inten.
If you're trying to be sincere, the irony doesn't read.

@FluentInFinance we should all get off the web. Dump our laptops. Stop social media. Use pen and paper again.
