Unlike the previously mentioned Margaret Heffernan, I don't think it's rational criticism to attribute a group's motives to any individual that just happens to be in attendance at a meeting of that group.
But I see Ms Heffernan decides she can miraculously attribute that a person that might happen to show up at a protest while wearing an American flag shirt is automatically a supporter of the programs of President Trump, and attach his ideas to the group that is sponsoring that same protest, when the protest may be against President Trump.
That only works if someone is a paid protester. And that's the line of faulty thinking exhibited by Ms Heffernan.
AI and data centers are distinct issues. You need data centers to do AI but the roots of opposition are different. Opposition to AI is largely leftist though the Abundance people are largely pro. There is a substantial conservative opposition to data centers because of water and power issues. These issues are fixable but trying to just steamroll opponents will hand the Left a reentry to rural areas.
The "water issues" are an invention, and the power issues are the fault of the government. Anyone who runs to the Left as a result deserves the mass grave in which they'll eventually be buried.
Which is why it's essential that we repair our education system - or abolish it in favor of something else - so that Leftists are once again unable to fool an ignorant population into hanging itself to "fix" problems *they* started in the first place.
"...plenty of conservative AI skepticism is entirely genuine, rooted in years of real concerns about transhumanism and civilizational risk." And there's a deep concern about possible manipulation of our financial markets, and the capture of policymakers. I don't think anyone would deny that these are realities (the stock market is being manipulated & policymakers and politicians are puppets for monied interests). The only question is how MUCH and in what directions.
Stop repeating the current propaganda! The current propaganda states we have to build-out data centers to compete with China in the AI race. What nonsense. To use AI for legitimate purposes gigantic data centers are not required. The data centers are needed to surveil and control through Central Bank Digital currency and social credit scores EVERYONE in real time, all day every day, step by step! There is no need to compete with China on implementing totalitarianism unless your goal is totalitarianism.
So if I love grok and use it for everything from analyzing my blood test to advice on my garden to what’s the best route to the airport at five p.m. does that man’s an AI zealot?

I'm pretty sure some of the agitators of January 6th were not MAGA and the tactics looks the same as ANTIFA to me.
Myself ... Not ... 'pretty sure' ........... 'DAMN SURE' !!!!

Yeah but we end up there too.

Just begin referring to this drone as a Luddite.
