Theo Jaffee for example. While he acknowledged that blocking data center construction would in fact be a throttle (maybe even a total chokepoint killing the entire AI project), he has zero self awareness of why people hate tech scum, hate tech companies and don’t trust the Musk/Theil/Altman/Brockman/Ravikant shitheads running them.

Ravikant is another example. Then: Publicly proclaims that the future will be a small number of people who founded AI labs & AI companies, and “millions of sex workers servicing them or starving.”

Now: ”Why are people so hostile to AI?”

  - To be fair, most people do. I've been saying this for a while if you've been paying attention. Started LONG before Trump entered the political arena. Sometimes it sucks to be proven right.* - By Cap August 21, 2026 at 03:13:28 PM
    - Most people yeah. I didn't realize how much rot we had in our society until Trump emerged. I was naive about the human condition. Never again* - By Poster P August 21, 2026 at 03:16:56 PM

  - Musk *owns twitter* and uses that ownership to boost fascist tech dipshits. That has actually made AI less popular - By brick August 21, 2026 at 03:04:22 PM
