"What are those fears? Some are obvious, like the fear that an AI-powered economy will eliminate most jobs and productive work, and that ordinary people will be rendered unable to contribute economically, reduced to subsisting on a universal basic income." "Yet we sense, on a gut level, that the end of work in America would destroy our country and make life miserable. It would, at a minimum, mean the end of political liberty or anything like self-government. Citizens who cannot support themselves through productive work and the ownership of property are not citizens at all, but dependents. It would also mean the end of free speech for the obvious reason that an AI-managed and curated public square will be incompatible with free expression." "But the elimination of jobs and the destruction of political freedom is not the only fear lurking in the minds of AI skeptics. A deeper fear, perhaps harder to articulate, is that of rapid and uncontrollable technological change that AI will likely bring about. That fear in turn is twofold: fear of the unknown and unstable future AI will create, and fear of the known aspects of the digital revolution that AI will supercharge." "...men age 18 to 29 'have been hit hardest by the proliferation of gambling apps, prediction markets, chatbot companions, digital tokens, and harmful substances.' Among this cohort, 'Forty-three percent agree that "I am inclined to think that I am a failure." Sixty-one percent say they often feel they have little control over the things that happen to them. Almost half agree that they will never achieve the American dream.” "The vices and struggles are different for women but no less dispiriting. Rampant use of SSRIs, substance abuse, and rates of anxiety and depression among young women tell a similar tale." "If the tech right wants to make a persuasive case, it will have to address the actual fears that people harbor about being left naked before the rapacious forces of the AI revolution — a revolution no one understands and no one can control." https://thefederalist.com/2026/08/28/opposition-to-data-centers-isnt-what-the-tech-right-thinks-it-is/

Opposition To Data Centers Isn't What The Tech Right Thinks It Is

It’s not the data centers themselves that people fear, it’s the AI revolution they will enable. That’s what no one wants to talk about.

It's nice to see people catching up to what I said would happen when I first heard of AI a few years ago. All data centers did was bring it more into focus because their unspoken purpose is to concentrate and expand the damage. I hope it's not too late to fix the problem for my survivors. I'm 73. I ...

Let's get real. Who puts the data into A I ? EXACTLY, HUMANS. People talk about who wrote the Bible!! They should be more concerned about who operates A I. A I IS NOT A GOOD THING. PERIOD. Why wait to combat A I when it can be stopped before any damage happens cause with human input and control, any... View More
