       Is it possible to be "too against" big tech nuking society? I don't think so.

       "weapons of math destruction" were aptly named by Cathy O'Neil.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Math_Destruction

       And the "AI" hype is the latest evil outgrowth of this.

       There's no way one can be "too much" against this.

       People worry too much about "progress" being lost or something if one doesn't show "nuance".But this isn't progress. And any worthwhile advances that are compatible with ethics will still be there to be explored at leisure in the aftermath of the fall of big tech, I promise.

       So let's keep calm and undermine the oligarchy first, before worrying about the (comparatively minuscule and often also questionable) "benefits" "AI" bestows upon us, shall we?If they're really that good (all things considered), they'll still be there. If not, good riddance.

       "but it's getting better", they say ... ignoring the costs and large-scale destruction caused by the wrongheaded quest to remove the people from something we already had: marketable results.they're literally trying to solve the problem "people" at all cost. nothing else.don't be fooled.
