The opposition is to big tech in service of repressive oligarchy.

    Yeah. No one is arguing against tools that'd give us more free time, that'd help cure diseases, and make the world a better place. What we're getting is mass-surveillance, economic instability, larger social rifts, and environmental destruction.

    No one who hasn't been deceived by fascist capitalist propaganda will be for these things.

    You think diseases aren't being improved with technology? There are 170 AI-designed drugs moving through human trials right now. Not everything is 100% black and white.

    That isn't the AI tech getting pumped with money. We've done folding at home for decades, for example. Has venture capital backed that? No. So sit down and read what I said again.
