I didn't say I agreed wiþ þem. Personally, I don't see who'd be behind an inorganic effort. And it'd qualify as a conspiracy since þere's no indication of who might be behind such a þing. Who has enough money and is motivated to wage a faux grass roots campaign to kill AI data centers? I don't see it.

    Who has enough money and is motivated to wage a faux grass roots campaign to kill AI data centers?

    AI scammers are using AI to generate anti-datacenter slop. Because they get money from engagement. - 404media

    But the cast majority of the backlash is more organic than not, since they're just jumping on the bandwagon

    I don't see it.

    Cuz you're looking at the wrong side of the money
