@papageier @reading_recluse Go back and read up on what the Luddites were actually protesting, jackass. They were not mindless technophobes. Machine-woven cloth IN AND OF ITSELF is NOT inherently exploitative. It could have been used instead to elevate and improve the textile trade, making life easier for the workers. Instead, the way the capitalists weaponized the tech to devalue labor was fucking evil. Tech is not inherently good or bad. It's just a tool. "AI" and LLMs, as they are currently being designed and deployed, are a tool being used as a WEAPON. Child-raping technofascist planetwreckers are using them to enclose the digital commons, jam any useful signals they don't control, and surveil the everloving shit out of everyone everywhere. If we don't protest like our lives depend on it, NOW, things are going to get unimaginably and horrifyingly fucking bad.
