@strange_new_words@tenforward.social I recall that the first luddites were people who fought not against industrialization, but it's indiscriminate use by the capitalist class.
Obviously, entrepreneurs wanted (then and now) to spare labor costs.
Corporations will never change.
EDIT: Switched language.

@yuki2501@masto.hackers.town I heartily recommend Brian Merchant's book "Blood in the Machine," which looks at the Luddites in the context of the modern tech industry.
