With the backlash to data centers, Flock and AI glasses, a mass opposition to big tech is underway. Silicon Valley is in denial.

The opposition is to big tech in service of repressive oligarchy.

Yeah. No one is arguing against tools that’d give us more free time, that’d help cure diseases, and make the world a better place. What we’re getting is mass-surveillance, economic instability, larger social rifts, and environmental destruction.

No one who hasn’t been deceived by fascist capitalist propaganda will be for these things.

There seem to be only three things that data centers are going to be used for: Crypto Mining, Mass Surveillance, and Data Collection, none of which helps the average citizen, most of it hurts us badly, yet we have to pay for it all.

What’s not to love?

You think diseases aren’t being improved with technology? There are 170 AI-designed drugs moving through human trials right now. Not everything is 100% black and white.

That isn’t the AI tech getting pumped with money. We’ve done folding at home for decades, for example. Has venture capital backed that? No. So sit down and read what I said again.

Adding to your point. Why Google DeepMind broke up the AlphaFold team

I have no idea what you’re trying to say. You think that only folding at home is helping with health breakthroughs?

he is trying to say LLMs (the tech getting all the money) have nothing to do with the AI used for medical research.
