I'm not sure how I'd feel about a ban on factories, but I think cars, as bad as they are in terms of environmental effects, are far less harmful to our society than "AI" companies and the big-tech companies that are intertwined with them (e.g., Google and Facebook).

On the flip side, I'd ask the question: if someone supports banning these data centers, why not support just banning the AI companies entirely?

I suspect we'll be seeing more and more of this sentiment in the coming years in one form or another.
