I cannot emphasize this enough: The AI doomer narrative (it’s going to wake up and kill us all) is, whether its adherents intend it or not, pure marketing for AI companies

It’s one reason their CEOs have even, on occasion, leaned into it

also if you're going to talk about AI's impact on labor honestly you should probably include a sentence about how a lot of these rich people in charge of its trajectory are technofascists who utterly despise union labor and want to see it destroyed

(the word union isn't mentioned once)

The tech industry baring its entire ass in GUSHING support of fascism is absolutely foundational to understanding why these companies' latest product sales pitches aren't being received all that well: completely not mentioned

"The tech executives who are betting their companies’ futures on the triumph of A.I. have many resources to make sure it happens. They can spend even more money to build even more data centers. On the other hand, data centers around the country are increasingly a target of opposition for local residents who dislike the noise, the disruption, the secrecy and the lack of community benefits like jobs."

you'll notice they get caught up on framing this through the lens of industry, that this is largely an issue of "perception"

it takes the Times author until the THIRTY-EIGHTH paragraph to actually start to try and explain why there's so much AI resistance, and even that's kind of a throwaway

People Loved the Dot-Com Boom. The A.I. Boom, Not So Much.

even this NYT article ostensibly about people being resistant to AI doesn't REALLY want to tangle with the long list of reasons why (pollution, dismantled climate goals, the fact surveillance obsessed tech companies saddled up to fascism). They're given a throwaway sentence or two

People Loved the Dot-Com Boom. The A.I. Boom, Not So Much.

stories like this will mention the AI "doomer narrative" (SkyNet will kill us all, often pushed by industry insiders), but not mention it pre-empts more realistic criticism (Grok's data center in Memphis is aiming its pollution directly at black people) the industry doesn't want to talk about

(……one of the more useful things journalists do, I think, is help people understand who to be mad at, and why)

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
