Because it's just a vessel for the puritans and the usual "cares more about feeling righteous than about being right" political activists. I have no love for either.
The whole thing with "AI polluting the neighborhoods" falls apart on a closer examination. Because, as it turns out, xAI put its cluster in an industrial area that already has: a defunct coal power plant, an operational steel plant, and an operational 1 GW grid-scale natural gas power plant that powers the steel plant - that one being across the road from xAI's cluster.
It's quite hard for me to imagine a world where it's the AI cluster that moves the needle on local pollution.

People are (or were, as of a couple of weeks ago) having nude images generated from pictures of them, and were posted publicly, by a company worth billions. You think the outage around that is just puritan hand-wringing? Not that real people are actively being harassed?
