Welcome to my channel where i bring you the latest breakthroughs in AI. From deep learning to robotics, i cover it all. My videos offer valuable insights and perspectives that will expand your knowledge and un

So, the AI backlash literally just went too far and let's talk about it. So, this is the image of a real incident that happened in Indianapolis where city county councelor Ron Gibson's home was hit by gunfire after he backed a controversial data center reszoning and a note saying no data centers was left at the scene. So, let's actually break this down, okay? Because this marks the essentially first AI attack. I'm not sure if you want to call this an assassin attempt, vandalism. I mean, there's multiple ways that you can view this, but think about this. Someone fired 13 rounds into the door of Ron Gibson's home, and luckily for him, he wasn't injured, okay? And they fired those rounds into his home and left a note that said, "No data centers." They have to understand that days before this shooting, Gibson, this guy supported a reasonzoning position that allowed a company to build a large data center in the area. Okay? And essentially, people were upset about this. Okay? Local groups opposing the project were like,

"Look, there's too much environmental noise. This is not like our neighborhood." And this is pretty crazy when you think about what this implies. This essentially implies that currently now those who support AI data centers are at risk of violence. Okay? And I don't support this whatsoever. But the worst thing about this entire story is that like I saw the comments and I could not believe my eyes. Take a look at some of these comments underneath this story of someone shooting at the home of a guy who supported a data center. One of the comments says, "I love a feelgood story on the news such as this." Someone said, "Personally speaking, I'm not mad at anyone that goes and does that. That's people's lives by the end of the day." The last comment, okay, this is the one that surprised me the most. Okay, and this is why I said in my old video, I said, "Guys, we are moving towards a society that is going to be split like you've never seen before." And look at what they say here, okay? They need to go for Sam Alman, not this guy. So,

you're telling me that there are comments saying that you should go ahead and incite violence on Sam Alman, okay? And people are liking this stuff. That is insane. And remember, I made a video saying AI CEOs are disappearing because they know what's coming. And honestly, if I was an AI CEO right now, I would not be in the public whatsoever, considering the fact that people are actively calling, inciting violence against just people who support an AI data center. Okay, that is absolutely absurd. And this is why I say the AI backlash has reached a new level. This is just insane. Okay? And I'm not going to say I didn't think it would get here. I of course thought it would get here because Silicon Valley, they don't seem to be paying attention to just how insane the pure hatred for AI is. And I think this is only the beginning. And this is a comment from my previous video where someone said they're not building bunkers and hiding because of what AI will do. They're hiding because of all the people that will be displaced by AI and what they'll do. And this is why I said this was concerning, but it was predictable. Because in this video where

I talk about the growing air backlash that nobody wants to talk about, I said that people are going to incite violence against those powerful figures. And violence is never the answer because it just doesn't make sense. And I quoted something, okay, that I said was genuinely concerning because when Mark Cuban was saying that creators should love AI, and to be honest, he made it wasn't the best point. He didn't frame it in the best way. It was kind of like a tonedeaf point about how creators should love AI and how it makes uncreative people creative. There was actually a scene that was cited where someone shot Mark Cuban. Now, for the reference, it is a movie scene. It isn't some gore scene and you don't see the scene in the video. I just simply talk about it. But the point I was trying to make here is that someone citing that with a movie scene where they shoot Mark Cuban and it had more likes in the initial tweet is pretty concerning because now we can see here is that people are essentially firing shots into the home. I mean, imagine if he was home. Imagine if he had a family member that was home. I mean, the implications are profound. And you can see that Taylor Ruen here said that I think a lot of tech people fail to realize the

broader sentiment around technology right now. And I would argue guys, this is true. I remember in my free school community, I pled several of you guys and I said, "What is your opinion on AI?" It was unanimous. 100% of you guys voted and said that you still love AI, you still love to use AI. And of course you guys do because of course you watch the channel, you like AI, you like using AI tools, and of course I do too. But guys, outside of this bubble, you have to understand that people hate AI so much. Okay, it is very hard to communicate this to people who aren't in the AI field and who aren't using the tools every day because it is literally black and white. And it is so strange that I think more people need to talk about this because if we can't get and coexist with AI, this entire field, this entire thing is not going to work. AI can do so much good, but people aren't marketing it that way, and they aren't deploying the technology in a responsible manner. I mean, look at this. Okay, you can see that when Oracle fired people, now they're getting death threats. Okay, 6:00 a.m. email and Larry Ellison just hired Blackwater level

private security. Okay, and some people here are saying, "We're so close. So close." And honestly, I don't even want to know what this means, what this is referencing. But it doesn't look good. Now remember, OpenAI actually recently had a document where they were like, "Okay, we need to draft up a solution." And honestly, I would argue that this is one of the best things that OpenAI has done recently. They posed six steps to solve this solution. And I would argue that these things need to happen yesterday because I think AI is going to disrupt society like we've never seen before. And if they don't do this, it's not going to work. You're going to roll out AI tools to people who are going to refuse to use them and society is just going to be destabilized and it is just going to be absolutely awful. And I can see here that you know this economic disruption is really going to happen because OpenAI is trying to push this with Washington and I really hope they do. Now there was also a tweet from Chamath here tweets that if tech leaders don't organize and get America on their side the situation on the ground as seen in the three charts below will get worse before it gets better. And that in turn will tank the US economy since AI is

responsible for much of our incremental GDP. Someone needs to step up. Now what is he talking about here? Let's take a look at these three charts. And this is why I say please pay attention here because once you understand this, you'll understand just how bad the perception is around AI. And nobody is talking about it. They're pretending this doesn't exist. It does exist and you need to talk about it because if you don't change the perception, nobody's going to buy into the tools, okay? It's not going to hit mass consumer market and change the world if the massive consumer base absolutely hates the technology. Now, you can see here that negative perception around AI is now worse than ICE. So currently this is arguably the third, you know, most negative perception thing. I'm not sure of where this study is from, but it's definitely sound. And you can see here that this is not good. AI is supposed to be something that people like. Being this unpopular is really, really surprising. And I'm actually going to include some clips of multiple videos of people talking about how much they hate AI and just how much how much support they do have. When you're talking to someone and then you realize, and you

didn't expect this, you realize that they like [ __ ] love AI. Like they're obsessed with it. They're like, "Oh yeah, I use it for my email and my calendar and my recipes and my planning this and I Oh, we have nothing in common." Okay. And you can see here that as electricity prices keep rising, they increasingly blame AI. You can see here that electricity prices have continued to rise since 2020. And of course many individuals and of course many individuals would argue that the data centers are the problem. And you can see here that local opposition is growing and they are now voting down data centers. About 40% of data centers that faced sustained local opposition are eventually cancelled. So you can see that over time we're getting more and more data centers that are going to be protested and many of those are being cancelled. So what is going to happen here? Are these companies going to still be able to roll out this technology? is the technology because there's not enough compute to be able to go around. Is that just going to squeeze us even more in terms of making the price more

expensive? I mean, this entire situation isn't going well. You can see here that, you know, Zero Hedge tweeted, "This is something we warned about a year ago. Between the exploding electricity bills and the lack of jobs for new new grads and all of these situations, a new lite revolution is forming. They will be burning down data centers within a year. And genuinely guys, I would not be surprised in the slightest if a group of people did that. If a group of people did some kind of violence or some kind of arson towards AI or data centers. Of course, I don't think ever that is the case. I think there are clear ways to actually get the tech companies to listen, but I think this is something that really really needs to be in the top top level of AI company's priorities because if they aren't then things are just going to get worse and I really don't want to have a situation where you know innocent people get injured or harmed or with this scenario like imagine someone innocent was inside. I mean, this is just a terrible scenario that could have resulted in the death of

someone, which this doesn't have to occur. And I saw this article that talks about, you know, the increasing vandalism across UK and US cities against delivery robots, including graffiti, physical attacks, robots being knocked over. And essentially, of course, this tweet, I really do love how this tweet was framed because I hadn't seen this take before, and it was one that was refreshing. So, I'm going to read this for verbatim, but I think it is a unique perspective on why people hate delivery robots. And it says, "Delivery robots occupy public sidewalks built and maintained by taxpayers, operated by private companies that pay nothing for their space, an answer to no one locally if something goes wrong. They're also showing up in cities where gig workers are already squeezed, where the promise that technology creates more jobs than it eliminates is wearing thing, and where the people most affected by automation have the least say in how it gets deployed. The robots are an easy, visible, low consequence target for frustration that has nowhere else to go. Companies treating this purely as a security problem to be solved rather than a signal worth understanding are going to keep

replacing every robot that cost them $2,500 indefinitely. And I couldn't agree more with that statement. And of course here you have the other problem with data centers. And this is where Amazon was using huge volumes of water to cool those data centers because the data centers use water that has nitrates from the you know area. The water evaporates during the cooling process and what's left is highly concentrated nitrate water and that nitrate water goes back out into the farmland and effectively ruins it. And you can see here Amazon agreed to pay $20.5 million to settle the allegations out of court. And I mean what else do we need to say here? So, I mean, I would love to know your thoughts about this. I've tried to have the conversation with many different friends about AI and how you could use it. But trust me, guys, even as someone as deep embedded in AI as I am, I literally cannot do it. Like, I cannot convince individuals to use AI. And these are normal individuals. These aren't people that are lites or anti-technology or some fringe groups. This is the majority of people outside of AI that are working a normal job and just normal careers,

just things that are not connected to AI that I speak to. And if they don't like AI, can you imagine those that are personally affected by it? I would say that hopefully this trend reverses. I'm not sure what it's going to take, but there needs to be something.
