To the editor: In a time through which a majority of Individuals assume AI is extra more likely to hurt than assist them in day-to-day life, as previously reported within the Los Angeles Instances, NIMBYism shouldn’t be conflated with opposition to information facilities (“‘You’re a liar.’ Why the world’s biggest building boom has run into a wall in California,” April 2).
“NIMBY” is a time period used derisively for the latent hypocrisy. Right here, opposition to information facilities is extra akin to “not in anybody’s yard.” Complicated the 2 does a disservice to the individuals who will endure from information facilities and AI, irrespective of the place they dwell.
