A satirical joke making the rounds: Apple should rename iOS Airplane Mode to "Data Center Free" mode, so the anti-data-center crowd can be told to leave it on permanently — if you don't want AI, don't use anything that depends on data centers. The joke pokes at the tension between anti-data-center sentiment and people's actual dependence on compute infrastructure.
