Igor's call, in full

The AI backlash is no longer a forecast. It is a headline, and the sharpest edge of it is the Class of 2026. Young people are booing the CEOs, refusing AI-only service, suing over stolen work, and voting against data centers in their towns. The moment that captured it: Eric Schmidt was booed off the stage at the University of Arizona on May 16, 2026. And the data is stark, an AnswerConnect study found 85 percent of people want a human, while only 5 percent prefer AI. This is the landing of a call I made 20 years early. The generation that grew up inside the machine is the generation pushing back hardest against it. The revolt is not coming. It is here, and it is young.
