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

Tech these days delivers products designed to collect data. They design products that force the consumer to navigate through a bunch of hurdles so more data gets collected.
The benefits of AI, Flock and meta glasses outweighs the price to the consumer. AI is fundamentally flawed at its core.
There's nothing fundamentally flawed about its core. That's been proven repeatedly in the medical and biochemical fields.
Full stop. There is zero argument here. If you think there is one you are too ignorant to be even remotely making a informed claim.
The problem is the misuse, lies, abuse and snake oil that is being peddled. That's not a problem with the tech. That's a problem with the people.
Strip out the lies and bullshit those fucking retards are trying to claim and your left with a perfectly fine tool that when used correctly is extremely helpful and doesn't actively fuck the environment.

Your naivete in thinking that human abuse is not par for the course--and something which needs to be expected and anticipated--is not helpful to your argument, either.
This is the argument I've always had about nuclear energy. Sure it works great in other countries, but in America the plants will be built by corporations whose ONLY priority is profit, and they will cut corner after corner, and legally bribe government regulators to do nothing about it, until it fails. It is inevitable, and we ALL know it, which is why nobody really advocates too hard for nuclear power in America. We all know how fucked up it would be.
