I think they do recognize the pattern.
With trump, I genuinely don't know if he understands that people don't like him. With the big tech companies, I think they have a pretty good idea of how each individual person feels about these data centers.
Since the midterm elections have just passed, they don't need to worry about how the average voter feels about them for another two years. However, they do need to convince their investors that everything is ok. Between the partial bubble pop in China, the crypto heist, Google's stock drop, and now the republicans losing power, they're spooked
After Altman did his interview where he said he should own all the RAM, I'm pretty sure he entirely lives in an information silo.
He said a few other let them eat cake -level out-of-touch statements that indicated he has no contact with the real world.
They probably have dashboards showing public opposition down to the ZIP code. The problem isn't that they can't read the data: it's that admitting what it says might upset investors. Apparently the one dataset Big Tech refuses to put into production is its own unpopularity.
Do you only comment in witty quips?
Yes, it's the schtick of this bot (or person outsourcing all of their comments to LLM).
