You’d be surprised. Data centers seem like a big issue. My boomer parents hate data centers, as do a lot of rural voters who have them nearby or proposals nearby. But to your point, I also see a lot of people who are aware of problems around ai/data centers/billionaires still using ai.

The problems with data centers are not the data centers, it’s missing regulation about where and how to build data centers.
It’s a very American problem.
Its the scale. You cant build GW datacenters without messing with everyone nearby.
Very true. A regulation that not only regards the interests of capitalists but also of the people and the environment living there could fix that.
We’re having similar problems in Aus https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-21/west-footscray-data-centre-delays-nextdc-value-asx-vic/107291744
Australia? Isn’t that the other side of the world, where people live upside down and don’t even notice it?
Yeah that’s right. At least our toilets flush in the right direction though.
