> I can understand wanting to curtail it, but in return you are getting fewer jobs,

since AI -- as designed to be deployed -- is taking away jobs, then by enabling data centers you are in fact getting fewer jobs

yours is the same perverse argument that was used to build Walmart Supercenters (lower prices! they'll create jobs!) which literally destroyed the economy of many small towns and communities, and paved the way for every other big box retailer to do the same

so don't be surprised that people aren't eager to enable something that is designed to destroy their livelihood
