The problem with this stance is that it implies nothing can be done other than somehow reverse technology in a Dune-esque fashion. I can't think of an example of this happening historically. 

But we can do something else. We can change the social system and move beyond capitalism. Capitalism is what is creating these x-risks. 

How do you move beyond capitalism when it's so ingrained in most of the world?

And aren't there some jobs that can't be done with AI? An AI therapist is out of the question, considering ChatGTP made Adam Raine and Sewell Setzer III kill themselves, and AI judges would be at too big a risk at giving the wrong people life or death sentences.

While workers still have labor power they need to form soliditarian associations that with-hold labor until demands/protections are met. That's the first step.

While some jobs will be resilient, how are they going to exist without consumer demand? Even people who are still employable will be affected by this decrease. 

Even if your goal is to get rid of AI data centers you're not going to be able to do it with capitalism still the present socio-economic system. It needs to be displaced to achieve that goal.
