Ben Shapiro (Part 2)

Because technology bad or scary. Again, I understand why people are upset that the tech bros who all seem to be a bunch of weirdos from Silicon Valley with no relation to actual humans, are the ones making these things. And there are ways to restrict development of AI that prevents its worst abuse, its worst abuses. But you don't destroy the means of production because somebody uses that stuff. Wrong. Okay, so if you are worried that somebody is using electricity in order to power a chainsaw to murder someone, you don't destroy the electrical grid. That is not what you do. You somehow try to target, you know, the chainsaw using guy who's trying to murder someone. But instead, because people don't like certain uses and abuses of AI, they have decided, what if we just destroy the entire means of production? What if we just get rid of the data centers? That's a great idea. No, it's not. It's a very stupid idea. If your idea is I don't like drunk people driving cars and getting into crashes and killing people, therefore we should just destroy, destroy all the oil refineries or shut them down, this would be a bad idea. And yet the American people are moving in that direction, thanks in large part to propaganda and foolishness. According to CNBC, there were 41 local ballot measures in 10 states up for a vote on Tuesday that placed restrictions on the construction of data centers in different ways. According to Ballotpedia, voters sided against data centers in each measure except one in Harwood, North Dakota. Ohio alone accounted for more than half the measures with 21 on the ballot. There are 27 measures that passed that restricted opposition to data center development and 13 Pro Data center measures that were defeated. Democrats who campaigned on pausing or regulating new projects won key races in Ohio, Wisconsin, Georgia and Texas, according to the polling data. By the way, the exit polls, thinking about your vote for Congress, how important was AI data centers crucial? 23% 69% of people who said so were Democrats. A major factor. 33%, 62% of people who said so were Democrats. As far as who is better able to handle AI? Again, this is the NBC News exit polls from the other day. The total 30% Democrats, 95% of whom voted for Democrats. Republicans 27%. 94% of whom voted for Republicans. Independents, 58% said they trust the Democrats to handle AI. We're going to.
