Have we?

Where do you see people rejecting them?

Sure, the immediate response is have you been paying attention at all to the data center buildouts and the responses by US civilians? If you can't even acknowledge how Americans are already turning to active resistance of these buildouts + the attempts to assassinate leaders of these technology companies, you are quite behind the plot my friend.

Refusing data centers is a truly bipartisan issue where you even have say republican activists in Texas [1] vowing to vote for Talerico because of his anti-AI stances. It's definitely the easiest layup if you're running for office this cycle.

There's a book that recently came out that discusses these stories in detail:

You can only harass, poison, and kill a population for so long before they break then fight back. It's only going to get worse too as communities are making life even harder for people already on the knife's edge.

This is all easily preventable too but we see how tech leaders respond to being told no or forced to pay taxes to provide welfare services to communities.
