AI doomers exploiting data center backlash to push control agenda, critic argues
mark_k · x · 2026-09-09
markk argues AI doomers are riding the growing backlash against data centers to advance an agenda that is '100% about control' — who builds AI, who accesses it, and how fast progress moves. Quoting Jordan Schachtel, he adds that any global slowdown pact would be undermined by China, which has no equivalent doomer movement, so 'pacing the frontier' is futile; better to learn to use these tools.
