AI will "cure cancer" and give everyone "a penthouse." These are the promises of TechGods.
As for the quality of TechGod leadership...it is clearly lacking:
Rushing crappy tech to market has a rich long history for those who've experienced vapor or error-ware.
We now have slop-ware. Customer support! Face cleanup on page 7.
China has nothing to do with my wish to not have a data center nearby. Actual communications from Beacon Data Centers executives are the cause. Vague and ever changing answers arose from Canada, not Beijing.
TechGods and their private equity underwriter (PEU) financiers control corporate strategy and steer government attention away from their money making ventures while directly facilitating their further enrichment (already at obscene levels)..
Democracy is supposed to reflect the majority. That has not been the case for some time. People have long wanted healthcare costs to go down, for the wealthy to bear a greater tax burden, for the U.S. to not intervene militarily across the globe and for leaders to be honest and not manipulate voters.
The workplace is not a democracy but people expect to be treated decently. Workers don't like seeing output quality disrupted or incapable processes put in place. AI does both. Bonus, it's addictive. It becomes even more tiresome as TechGods lurch from one priority to another.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one and for that the common person suffers.
Update: Business Insider noted:
Is it a Chinese psy-op? Are Americans ignorant? Or are tech bros just completely out of touch?
Tech leaders across the country are full of ideas about why Americans are in a furor against data centers, positing theories on social media that range from practical to patronizing.Maybe we don't like insufferable people who lie, manipulate and deceive.
That PEUs, TechGods and elected officials are coalescing into one could be the dongularity.
