What makes it go away? People can reject datacenters, AI slop(to the degree they can detect it) and AI search results, but what stops the wave of automation coming for SWEs and IT workers? We are the least able to resist. AI already does a better job than the majority of us. It is, even with much higher token costs, vastly cheaper. So what shoves it back into the box?

The hatred of data centers and AI is partly a proxy for the working class' growing anger at the ruling class. Crony and late-stage capitalism squeezing every last drop out of people can only go on for so long.
