I agree but I see a lot of very concrete harms too. It's been catastrophic for schools, the sloppification of the web has been largely a disaster so far, it's been a disaster for cybersecurity, it's wreaked havoc on the consumer electronics market, it's driven a lot of financial and existential insecurity for students and early career people across various roles, and while I'm not as militant about data centers as some I think their proliferation has been a net negative environmentally (including increased reliance on coal).
