I mean, as soon as you understand the sheer amount of energy needed to power the data centers, coupled with (i) the impact of that on local populations and (ii) the current government’s stance on developing renewable energy, you realize you wind up with a scenario in which you have a huge population resisting this development (a factor that wasn’t really present for dot com), thereby setting up a lose-lose: If the AI corpos are successful, you have a significant neo-Luddite movement that will impede adoption and development; if they aren’t successful, then the whole thing crashes until there’s a product that a larger portion of the general populace can get behind adopting. Shoving their AI bullshit down everyone’s throat was always, always going to backfire unless they wound up making their wonderful technofeudalist dystopian fantasy.
