Nah.

Where is the backlash?

Data center and Flock protestors are cheered as heroes, and finding viral fame. Grifty content farms have sprung up to churn out anti-tech memes because the genre is so popular.

Facebook. Twitter. YouTube, Reddit.

Doesn't matter how angry they get, they will ALWAYS go back to the very spaces those AI datacenter companies own.
