It's not a "oh they don't have beef, I'll take chicken" casual kind of choice! And even if statistically people who have strong feelings against AI are a minority - it is a minority vocal and stern in their decisions like never seen before!

  • @hardpenguin13@mastodon.gamedev.place It's actually pros who are the minority, on average ~13% of a country's population is pro ai, then I think it's ~28% are anti ai, and the rest are more against than for but not anti ai

    @hardpenguin13@mastodon.gamedev.place Except that these people are not, statistically speaking, a minority. According to numerous polls in the US, the american public detest AI, even if many feel compelled to use AI. This is coming for the AI companies and their datacenters in a big way. The funny thing is that big tech apparently do not understand this shift in sentiment. The Verge has done good reporting on this. See for instance here: https://www.theverge.com/podcast/917029/software-brain-ai-backlash-databases-automation

    @hardpenguin13@mastodon.gamedev.place ok, but it will only matter if they are a significant percentage of the company's income. You can be as loud as you are but if you never gave them money before, telling them you won't give them money now either, isn't as much of an incentive.
