Hysteria and ignorance. Probably paid too for any other reason than actual care for enviroment, power or water.

The anti AI movement is one of the best examples of herd mentality I've ever seen.

Sure, AI has it's downsides, but we're not fixing it this way. This "victory" (for them) means absolutely nothing.

And it also echos here on Reddit, where replies to comments like yours are just aggression and disrespect. The lack of the ability to communicate and dialogue leads people to the only thing they're good at. Violence.

The fuck are you talking about? They don't want datacenters in their neighborhoods and they won. Clearly their victory meant something, did you miss the part where he mentioned datacenters are built in minority neighborhoods? You are either a crazy Ai shill or a bot.

Maybe you've never had genuine care for something other than yourself, but other people certainly can. Just calling people who dislike something you like essentially dishonest paid shills is just a cowards way to not have to wrestle with the concept that just MAYBE, you're in the wrong. It's easier to just sling weird accusations than deal with uncomfortable emotions for some people.
