> There's a supercut of the event on YouTube which solely shows every mention of the term "AI." It's about a minute long and by the end you want to cover your ears to shut out this sound and fury.

Amateurs. Apple would never allow something like this to happen.

I don't think 5G is deeply unpopular like AI is though. Maybe that was the article's point.

I've actually seen more real life protests against 5G than against AI.

Ha, that's interesting. I don't know who'd be protesting 5G I guess, but in my area people are frothing-at-the-mouth enraged at the very idea of data centers going up. All three surrounding counties have had public meetings on data center projects that resulted in them being denied by county supervisors, and one has already enacted a 5-year "moratorium" on them.

There were 5G towers being attacked during COVID, because of delusional conspiracy theories:

Having people put up anti-5G signs and groups of people showing up to events was sadly not uncommon in pre-pandemic era, at least here in Europe.

Most of those folks seemed to have moved into antivaxx waters after covid though, haven't seen so many of "No 5G!" signs after that.
